Tuition Reimbursement Program from Prudential Starck Realtors

Real estate sales is an exciting and rewarding profession that offers lots of great opportunities. A career in real estate allows you to meet and help interesting people, experience freedom and independence, use your personal strengths and obtain financial security. Of course, before you can start in the business, you need to obtain your Illinois real estate license. That requires a course and tuition.

Whether you take the class at a college or at a private school, the tuition is usually around $350 including text materials.

The real estate school that Prudential Starck Realtors® underwrites, Your House Academy, offers the state-approved pre-license course for $285.00.

Prudential Starck Realtors® underwrites the school in order to attract good agent prospects to the company.  In addition to making a lower tuition possible, as an added incentive, agents who join the company will receive 1/2 of their tuition refunded when their first transaction closes.

When you consider all the great training, tools and leadership Prudential Starck Realtors® offers their agents, this tuition refund program is just like "icing on the cake".

For more information about the pre-license course offered through Your House Academy visit their website at YourHouseAcademy.com or call Vince DePaul at 800-375-7032.

The Class of 2009 - A Career Instead of a Job

From CareerBuilder.com:
"The class of 2009 will face the most competitive job market in years, as companies continue to proceed with caution amid economic uncertainty, according to CareerBuilder’s newly released annual college job forecast.The percentage of employers planning to hire recent college grads is roughly half of what it was just two years ago. Only 43 percent of employers plan to hire recent college graduates in 2009, down from 56 percent in 2008 and 79 percent in 2007."

While a career in real estate sales may not be the answer, it might be worth considering. The market is down right now, but there are signs of recovery and we think when it comes out it's slumber it will come out with a sustained upswing. Housing affordability is at its highest point in years, mortgage rates are at their lowest point in years, absorption rate (month's supply of inventory) is dropping steadily in most areas, and there is an $8,000. incentive for first time home buyers to act now. Similar to investing when the market is down, it might be a benefit to invest in a career instead of looking for a job.
