REAL ESTATE MARKET HEATING UP

Congratulations to all of you very perceptive people out there who know that the real estate market is really heating up. It is believed that Realtors are usually the first to know because we are the first to see the buyers scurrying around to buy up those properties before the market starts to climb.

But I think that the people who are really the first to know are those without licenses who thought that they would want one eventually......they are the ones who are signing up for my classes because they know the time is NOW. Talk to those who just finished the class and are starting in the business. They will tell you how busy they are.

Jump in now and you will be ready. Two weeks and you will be good to go. Classes start February 25 and run until March 8.

JOIN UP NOW. CALL 984-3231 to register!

FEBRUARY CLASS SCHEDULED

Aloha everyone-

If there are enough registrants I will hold a class February 25 to March 7, 2013.

The cost of the course is $880 including materials. Classes will be held at the Maui College in Kahului daily, including Saturday from 9-4:30. If you pass the class final given on Mar 7 from 8-12, you will be eligible to take the state licensing exam, hopefully scheduled for March 8. The cost of the state licensing exam is an additional $63.00.

Please call the Maui College, 984-3231 to register. 

I do not know when I will have another class. There were over 60 people wait listed by the end of 2012 but none of them appear to be able to make it for this scheduled date. Although I am hoping to be able to accommodate all who want to prepare for their licenses as the market is dramatically improving I do not have another class scheduled at this time and will hold this February class only if there are a  sufficient number of enrolees. 

Mahalo,
Carol

Real Estate Prelicensing 2013

We ended 2012 with a bang with an unexpected December class. A dynamite class it was with 20 eager students. All but one passed the class and a few who passed are still working on the licensing exam.

I am deluged with calls about the next class which has not yet been scheduled. If you are interested in taking a prelicensing class, please call the Maui College at 984-3231 to be placed on the wait list. They will notify you when I schedule my next class.

Here is a hint. Sometimes I find a break in my schedule and am able, if there is a classroom available at the college, to schedule a class that was not previously planned on--depending on the demand. So it is always a good idea for you to place your name on the list so we have an idea of how many people are interested in taking it. That is why I gave the class in December even though I had not planned on it. So please call 984-3231 if you want to be on the list.

Hope to see you in class soon.

Mahalo,
Carol

LAST CLASS FOR 2012

Aloha Friends!

Okay, you forced me into it. After a wait-list of 36 at the end of my last class and daily calls to my cell phone, email and walkins to the office inquiring about the next prelicensing class, I decided to have one last class for 2012. The class will be held December 3-December 14. I know it may be tough for many to get away from the holiday work schedules but it is the only time that I could fit it in.

I've reserved the largest room they have in Laulima for you which should hold a good number but you should call the college at 984-3231 as soon as you can to register and reserve your seat.

See you on December 3!

Aloha,
Carol

FINAL DAY OF CLASS AUGUST 10, 2012

The real estate prelicensing class given July 30 to August 10 ended today with the class final. Everybody passed, and with flying colors. Hard working students from many professions labored at a grueling pace to complete all the coursework in two weeks. They were exemplary with 48% of the class scoring in the 90's. Now they must go on to take and pass the state licensing exam. Good luck to them. Great class.

I heard from the staff at Maui College that there were 15 students waitlisted for a future class as my present class drew to a close. If you are interested in a real estate prelicensing class, call 984-3231, Maui College, and ask to be placed on a wait list. When I determine when my next class will be held, they will be in touch with you.

Thanks for your interest in the Carol Ball School of Real Estate.
Mahalo, Carol

25 DAYS AND COUNTING

The new real estate prelicensing class begins on July 30 and ends on August 10. The course is accelerated, that means GOES FAST! Every day we meet from 9-4:30 with lecture presentations, group work and practice quizzes to get you in gear for the licensing exam for those who pass the course. Classes meet every day, Monday through Saturday of the first week with a take home midterm on Sunday. The second week classes are held from Monday through Thursday with the class final on Friday, the last day of class. I try to arrange with PSI to hold the licensing exam on Saturday following the last class day. Whew, you will be glad when that is over but amazed at what you have learned.

Ultimately, of course, you expect to be able to obtain your real estate license and help people with their real estate needs. We will want to make sure that those who do pass the class will understand the importance of the profession for which you are training. To become a good real estate professional takes years and years of practice. This is how you can get started!

Checking with the Maui College, I note that there are already 22 students enrolled in the class. Thirty students is the class limit. Be there or be square!

Call 984-3231 Maui College to register. See you then!
