What is Arizona Real Estate School Like?

Last Update: December 19th, 2021

A common question we receive is “what is Arizona real estate school like?” While that can be a vague question resulting in a very long answer, we’ve found that it usually means that someone is trying to understand what the material is all about and how the process goes.

A common misconception is that real estate school teaches you how to “sell” real estate. While yes the rules and regulations are covered that involve transactions, actual selling/marketing techniques are usually not covered. Why you ask? Because the Arizona Department of Real Estate requires that schools teach 90 hours of material with very specific topics that must be covered. None of which involve teaching people how to sell. There simply isn’t any room in the courses for it and lets be honest, do you really want to be studying things that you won’t be tested on on the final exam?

Back to the original question though, “what is Arizona real estate school like?” Schools have either the option of offering live “in person” courses or online on demand module type courses. There are pros and cons to either of these options and it really depends on the person taking the material and what works best.

Let’s go over what’s encompassed in the Arizona real estate salesperson course; the length of the course is 90 hours long with a total of 27 subjects covered (list provided below). After or during the 90 hour course (your choice) an additional 6 hour course is required by the state that covers contract law, commonly referred to as the Contract Writing Course or Introduction To Contract Writing. It may seem like a lot to learn, but it is essential to be deeply familiar with these concepts in order to pass the Final Exam and more importantly, operate legally and effectively in the Arizona real estate industry.

Completion of the 90 hour pre-license course, along with the 6 hour contract writing course, will complete the training required towards attaining your Arizona Real Estate Salesperson License.
