A couple of days ago, a blog post in my Google Alert caught my attention. The subject line read "Getting a Real Estate License in Michigan." The poster gave misinformation. I emailed her with the correct information, but did not get a response. In order to dispell this information, I will post the correct order to go about the task.
Step 1. Take your prelicense course. I only teach the prelicensure course in Traverse City and Grand Rapids. Click here for my upcoming schedule.
Step 2. Go to www.michigan.gov/icola and creat an account. Make application for your salesperson license using your Icola account. If you do not have a broker, you may preregister for your salesperson license. You will not however receive your license at the testing center in this case. For more information about the new rules, click here iCOLA. (Broker Candidates, you must complete all of your requirements, before you register for your license)
Step 3. The broker approves the application.
Step 4. Go to www.psiexams.com print out the registration form and faxing it to PSI with your charge card number or by mailing it with a money order or certified check in the amount of $48.
Step 4. After you have allowed time for your money to be credited to your account, you may schedule your exam at www.psiexams.com or by calling the 800 number on the fax application. For additional information and test locations please see www.psiexams.com PSI has prepared a candidate handbook which you may download and print out. It contains all of the relevant information for obtaining your Broker or Salespersons exam and license. Click on: Candidate Information Bulletin
This is the perfect time to consider a real estate career. As long as you know that real estate is not for wimps, this could be the career for you. We have lost almost a third of the agents. When this difficult economic time is over only the strong will survive. If you have what it takes, this could be the best time ever.
