After completing all the above requirements, you join a brokerage and the broker applies for your license through the NJ Real Estate Commission.
3: Can Garden State Real Estate Academy help me with job placement?

Yes. In fact, we are fully approved to teach salesperson and broker licensing and continuing education for BOTH New Jersey and Pennsylvania real estate licenses.

You must have a real estate license for each state. But Garden State Real Estate Academy can help you get your real estate license in those other states also.

As much as $700. Garden State Real Estate Academy charges $389. That’s the total cost and includes the textbook. There are no hidden fees.
8: What if I have to miss one or more classes, such as if I have to work or have a vacation already booked?
No problem. We have three or four courses going on simultaneously, so if you missed classes in one course we give you the flexibility to make up those classes in another course at no additional cost.
9: What if I fail the state exam or your school’s final exam?
We let you retake our exam at absolutely no cost up to four times. You can retake the state exam as many times as you need, you just need to pay PSI (the exam provider) $38 for each attempt.
