SEGUIN – The Center for Professional Development at Texas Lutheran University is offering a series of five pre-licensure courses that are required for individuals who wish to take the Texas Real Estate Licensing Examination.

Each course includes 30 classroom hours taught over a two-week period. The core classes include Principles of Real Estate I (April 27 – May 7), Principles of Real Estate II (May 18 -29), Law of Agency (June 8 - 18), Law of Contracts, (June 29 – July 9), and Marketing (July 20 -30).

Electives to meet pre-licensing and renewal requirements include Real Estate Law, August 1- 20; and Property Management, Aug. 31 – Sept. 11.

The classes are held at TLU’s Tschoepe Hall on Monday through Thursday evenings (6-10 p.m.) except on Memorial Day and Labor Day when class will be on the following Friday evening. John Whitworth, a real estate veteran and a certified real estate instructor (CREI), teaches the courses.  Texas Lutheran University is an official Texas Real Estate Commission provider.

The cost for each class is $130 except for Real Estate Law which is $150. This cost includes tuition, required textbooks, and materials. To qualify for enrollment, the fee must be paid in full by noon on the Friday prior to the start of the class. Payments may be made by check, cash, or credit card at the Center for Professional Development office, Tschoepe Hall, Room 125. The deadline for enrollment in the first class is noon, April 24.  The late enrollment fee of $20 is assessed for payments made after that time.

The US Department of Labor notes that “well-trained, ambitious people who enjoy selling—particularly those with extensive social and business connections in their communities—should have the best chance for success.”  You will be well-trained with this program that has a proven track record of successful program completers.
