Thank
you for your interest in CMSU's NH Real estate Pre-licensing Course. Below is some information that may be useful
to you.
The
fee for CMSU’s NH Real Estate Pre-licensing Course is $349.00.
The
fee includes 8 classes, they meet once a week for 8 weeks, it includes the
books, the 17th edition of Modern Real Estate Practice, course hand outs,
outlines, 40 page outline addressing state specific laws and the license laws.
The course also includes a 2 day wrap up session held towards the end of the
course which goes from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM generally on two consecutive
Saturdays. The entire course totals 50 hours.
My
goal is to have people coming out of the class not just knowing the information
long enough to pass the exam, but knowing why they need the information in the
practice of real estate and how it is applied for the benefit of the consumer.
Many people have taken the course just for informational purposes with no plans
to enter into the profession and have also found the course informative and
very worthwhile.
The
NH Real Estate Commission requires attendance and completion of a 40 hour NH
approved Real Estate Course prior to taking the Salesperson’s Real Estate
licensing exam. . As I offer classes in a number of locations there is the
flexibility of making up a class that you might have missed in a different
location where there is seating availability that same session.
I
have classes in a number of locations and I do offer a course every 8 weeks. I
have been teaching and specializing in pre-licensing classes here in NH for
over 27 years, and am accredited by the NH Real Estate
Commission.
The
Portsmouth class generally meets
on Tuesdays and offers both a morning session and an evening session. The
morning session goes from 9-1 and the evening session is held from 6-10. The
Portsmouth classes are held at the Seacoast Board of REALTORS® which is located
at Corporate Center, 110 Corporate Drive at Pease Trade-port in Portsmouth.
Students are asked to enter by the side door facing the Rye Road entrance off
of Corporate Drive. You will see my (faded) yellow signs in the window as you
enter the driveway from Rye Road. CMSU Real Estate Course.
These directions will get
you right to the door. There is a Realtor “R” on the door.
The Manchester class generally meets
on Wednesdays. The classes go from 6-10
in the evening and are be held at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage which
is located at 71 Hamel Drive in the Northside Plaza…exit
9S off of Rte 93.
The
Rochester class meets on
Thursdays. The Rochester classes are held at Avalar
Advantage Real Estate which is located at 160 Washington Street Suite 201
Rochester Crossing Shopping Plaza (where Lowes is located) exit 13 off of the
Spaulding Turnpike.
The Laconia class meets on
Fridays. There will be two
exceptions….class #7 and class #8 will meet on Mondays. The classes go from
6-10 in the evening. The location is Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, 348
Court Street .
The
2 day wrap up is generally held on the last two Saturdays of the session. The
first Saturday addresses State Specific information and the second Saturday
reviews National information. Those two days will meet in Portsmouth, NH from
8:00 Am to 6:00 PM regardless of where one has attended the 8 weeks. That is
where all of my students get together in one location to go over new State
information on the first day and review the National information on the second
day.
After
the students begin class, I ask them to review the Candidate Handbook from the
AMP website ( www.goamp.com ) which includes a registration form to
register to take the NH licensing exam and I leave it up to the students to
register/schedule themselves for the exam. So you could register just before
the course completion, then schedule for a date immediately after completion of
the course, pass the exam, and then be ready to be licensed and begin work. Taking
the exam ASAP after completion of the course is strongly recommended. You must
take the exam within 1 year of the date of beginning the course. Feel free to
go to the amp website and read the Candidate Handbook at any time. More will be
explained in class.
At
this time, there is only one license in NH and it will allow a person to do
both residential and commercial sales/leasing. The fee for the exam is $115
($130 for brokers). Once you pass the exam your salesperson’s license will cost
you $80 (broker’s license is $100). You will need to activate that license
within 6 months of passing the exam. You can hang your license with a broker
and work in the business or if you are not prepared to work in real estate at
this time, you can hang it with the Real Estate Commission on “inactive status”
or hang it with a holding company and do referrals. Whatever you choose to do
you must activate the license within 6 months of the exam, and renew it every 2
years or you will have to take the exam (and the course) over again.
Any
other fees incurred will depend on the Real Estate Office with which you choose
to affiliate. If additional fees are a concern of yours, you should check with
a few of the companies with which you are considering working and inquire with
them as to what fees may be incurred when affiliating with that company.
The
New Hampshire Real Estate Commission requires all license applicants to have a
criminal background check prior to licensing. Not prior to taking
the course nor prior to taking the exam but prior to licensing. The fee
for the criminal background check process is $25.00 and students can print out
the Records Release Form from the Candidate Handbook at the AMP website www.goamp.com
Students
are asked to arrive at least 20 minutes before class on the first day to sign
in at the location for which they pre-registered and receive materials. The fee
of $349 is payable in full at the door if not already pre-paid. Walk-ins, although always
welcome, are not guaranteed seating. A minimum $50 non refundable deposit is
required with registration to guarantee seating. With pre-registrations I can
also be sure to have enough materials. If payment in full is sent, and the
student fails to attend the class, the entire fee paid will be non refundable
unless email is sent dated 48 hours
prior to the date class begins, canceling the registration in which case, the
fee paid minus the $50 deposit will be returned. I accept cash and check but do
not accept credit cards.
Walk-ins
please call the office the morning of the first class just to be sure the class
has not been cancelled due to lack of registrations, snow storms, change of
location etc.
A Registration Form can be printed out
directly from my website or I would be happy to fax, email or mail a
registration form to you if you email me a fax, email or address.
If
I can answer any further questions please feel free to email or call. Or please
feel free to visit my Website www.charlinemason.com where you can also find more information
about, myself, my company, testimonials or the
schedule for the remainder of the year.
Hope
to see you in class some day!
