California Real Estate Licensing
Historically, parts of California have been some of the most volatile real estate markets in the country, however, the fact that California real estate ultimately remains in constant demand, coupled with the high sales prices (which translate to big commissions), California is still one of the most popular states in which to hold a real estate license.
California real estate licensing is much like licensing in other states, and includes multiple options for obtaining and renewing your real estate license, including online continuing education classes, and a pre-licensing class that is available in a correspondence course format.
