Not Quite!
After Course I, you must complete Courses II and III. These are each 30 hours worth. This course goes over how to select a brokerage, understanding your agency and representation paperwork and rights, how to do walk-throughs and CMAs (Competitive Market Analysis), how to prep for a listing, how to represent your clients, financing options, consumer protection rights and laws, expense worksheets, and writing your very own PA (Purchase Agreement). Sound simple? Maybe.....I thought it was a LOT of information to take in. Keep in mind you are getting an overview of EVERYTHING! You need this generalized knowledge but don't act like an expert in an area that you are not (i.e. mortgage bankers). You can give an opinion, but always direct them to professionals in the appropriate fields! You would hope that the mortgage banker wouldn't direct them to one home (that's your job - let them do their job and you do yours!).
After working for a couple agents, I learned so much more than I could ever by reading a book or watching videos. Don't get overwhelmed....take it all in and do your best. No one expects an expert overnight! It does help to get some prior experience assisting with other agents though!!!!
