Real Estate classes are filling up again in Hernando County, as many unexpectedly unemployed are making the decision to follow that dream that has been laying dormant for years. Why now, when the prices are low and loans are hard to close with the appraisal mess? Why Hernando County, where the average home price is approximately $79,000?
Todays student is very different than those in the glory days. They come equipped with the knowledge that there is a lot of hard work to do to make this career work, and they are willing to do that work. Many had licenses in other states previously, and many are family members or assistants to successful licensees, ready to take that step into a full time real estate career.
Hernando County lies in the northern tip of the Tampa Bay area, and offers lower taxes, higher elevation, more spacious home sites, and lower prices than anywhere else in the Tampa Bay area, and homeowners are moving away from higher costs of living without sacrificing quality of life and access to the metropolitan area. Hernando County offers the perfect spot to purchase real estate. It is especially attractive to first time homebuyers, since Hernando County is still considered a rural community and therefore qualifies for the USDA Rural Housing program, which offers 100% financing and sellers are allowed to contribute toward closing costs.
So what do you do if you are looking to start a career in Real Estate in Hernando County? Nature Coast Real Estate School offers live classroom instruction in Spring Hill by a qualified instructor and practitioner in the real estate business for over 20 years. The evening classes run three nights a week for five weeks, and students are well prepared to take the required examinations to launch their real estate careers.
In addition to the classroom requirements, students are required to apply for the sales associate license with the State of Florida. Pay careful attention to the application regarding past history of any violation of law other than minor traffic issues, as the state does a thorough background check on each applicant. If a student has any questions regarding what needs to be disclosed, how to apply for a license, how to apply if they have a license in another state, or whether this is a good time to join the ranks of real estate professionals, contact Jeanne Gavish at Nature Coast Real Estate School and I will be happy to assist you in your decision to begin your real estate career.
