Top 10 Real Estate Agent Traits Part 2--LarsonEd

Fort Myers Real Estate School

In our previous post, we told you sellers want to hire an agent that they believe will get the job done professionally. Specifically, here is the second half of the Top 10 traits and skills our sellers told us they are looking for in selecting an agent:

6. Sellers want to know the cost AND value of your service.

Of course they want to know how much your commission will add up to, but they also want to know what they will get in return. If you are able to list off your qualifications upon request, the seller will be more likely to see you as an asset.

7. Sellers want you to appreciate their property’s attributes.

This tells them that you are paying attention to the positive qualities in their house, which means you’ll be more likely to utilize these as selling points to buyers.

8. Sellers want to know that the property will be shown in the best light.

It goes without saying that the better the property looks the more likely it will be to sell, but the seller also wants to know that you know how to stage a home properly (link to staging PR).

9. Sellers want to know that you will creatively market the property.

Will you be active with advertising, both online and off? This will give the seller confidence that you will accomplish your task of selling the home.

10. Sellers want to list with an agent who has a good client base of potential buyers.

The more buyers an agent knows, the more likely they are to find one that wants the seller’s house. These tips will help you become better prepared to meet client expectations for real estate agents.

20 questions to learn about the seller and prepare you for the walk-through

If you are a new Florida real estate professional, make sure you complete your Post-Licensing Education before your 1^st license expiration date. If you are a seasoned veteran, it’s never too early to get your Continuing Education done. Either way, Larson Educational Services has you covered with timely and market-ready information taught in professional classrooms by instructors who care about your success.

The 5 Easy Steps to Get a Florida Real Estate License

Have you been thinking about getting a Florida Real Estate License but are unsure where to start? Maybe you've heard some of the horror stories circulating out there about bad instructors, dirty classrooms and students failing the Florida real estate exam over and over and over again.

Well I'm here to tell you that it does not need to be that way.

You can obtain your Florida Real Estate License in just a few steps and you can do it with the help of a professional, courteous, well-managed, family-owned education company that truly cares about your success at Larson Educational Services.

And we have lots of fun too!

So, what does it take to obtain your
Florida Real Estate License?

STEP 1: Submit Your License Application Package
Your License Application Package can be completed online at MyFloridaLicense.com. Click on “Apply For A License” and follow the directions. You need to be 18 years old and have a high school diploma or its equivalent to apply. On the application package you will share information about yourself and pay a fee of $105.

STEP 2: Register for Fingerprinting
Make a reservation – visit PearsonVUE and select “Fingerprint Reservation online,” or contact the customer support center at 1.888.274.2020. The fingerprinting fee is $57.25.

STEP 3: Attend Class
Completion of a 63-hour course is required to obtain your Florida Real Estate Sales Associate License. Students must attend the entire course and pass the final exam. We have Weekday, Evening and Weekend classes available in Fort Myers and Naples (and online courses coming soon). Our class tuition is $299. The class is completed in 8 days or 16 evenings.

STEP 4: Schedule the State License Exam
Upon approval of your application the testing service - PearsonVUE - is notified by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and they in turn notify you with instructions to schedule the license examination. You have two years to sit for the license examination. The exam fee is $31.50. We have excellent Exam Preparation courses and products to help you prepare for success on exam day.

STEP 5: Pass the Exam and Activate the License
Remember to bring two forms of identification with signatures (one must be a government-issued photo identification), the confirmation number provided when test registration was made, and the Course Completion Certificate from Larson Educational Services. To activate your license, your employing broker must sign and deliver FORM 2050 to the DBPR.


Contact me if you have any questions or would like additional information. The Florida Real Estate Licensing process is not very difficult and if you do these 5 Steps in order, you will have your license in a matter of weeks!

Students getting their Florida Real Estate License to start Real Estate Careers have GREAT EXPERIENCES at Larson Educational Services

WOW! I am reading through our end of class evaluations from our recently finished Florida Real Estate License Course and I have tears in my eyes. Our students had absolutely FANTASTIC things to say about our course, the instructors, our staff, our facilities and the overall experience they received from Larson Educational Services.

A couple of the comments that really made me teary-eyed - they are again as I read them over - and really sum up what we are all about are these ones:

"I would recommend this course without hesitation. The level of service at Larson has gone above and beyond. I believe Larson Educational Services has set a high standard that has no comparable."

"This course was much, much better than any course I have taken in the past. You are the best, hands down! Thank you all so much. I'm so thankful I picked your school."

"EXCELLENT! I was impressed the first day I came in with your professionalism, politeness and impeccable facilities. I was never disappointed."

Getting feedback like this lets you know that you're doing something right. We have more comments like this on our Student Testimonials page of our website. When you build a business from scratch, like we have at Larson, everything is dependent on the customer experience, but in our case, you need to add in the classroom and education experience as well, and it sounds like we are doing an excellent job.

Our students are with us for 8 hours for 8 days. That's a lot of time together. Plus, this is an emotionally charged arena as people are very excited about starting real estate careers by getting their Florida Real Estate License. We have been doing this for about 30 years as a family and we have developed a great curriculum and service-minded organization that really sets us apart from the competition and makes us different.

If you would like to know more about a Florida Real Estate License or have questions about real estate careers, please feel free to contact us at
(239) 344-7510 or go to LarsonEd.com to learn more.

Thank you again for the great evaluations from all of our students.
