If you are a broker with a Nevada real estate license in need of renewal in July or August, you can take advantage of a new online feature. The Nevada Office of Business and Industry announced early this week that Nevada real estate brokers will be the first to have access to online renewal services now available on the Nevada Real Estate Division website.

As long as the license is active and it is within 45 days of the expiration date, you will qualify for the convenient new service. You will have to provide proof of completion of the real estate courses needed to meet the continuing education requirements for a real estate broker as they do with the previous renewal options; but now they can complete the renewal process online 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

The first renewal for a Nevada real estate license requires 30 hours of continuing education for a real estate broker. The first 15 hours includes five courses, three hours each on Ethics, Law and Legislation, Agency, Contracts and Broker Management. The remaining 15 hours are your choice of approved general courses.

A broker whose license has expired or is in an inactive status will not be permitted to use the online renewal service at this time. To return a license to active status you will still have to send in the required application and fees to the Real Estate Division.

There is another option available that can offer you incredible income potential in a very short period of time without breaking the bank. The easiest career change you will ever make is getting your real estate license.

There is further temptation and urgency in the Manhattan apartment market as pricing begins to stabilize. Several New York markets outside of Manhattan saw significant price increases in the last quarter. Many buyers and investors will want to take advantage of this affordability before it is gone.

The news in the job market is improving and that is great news for the real estate market. The economic downturn and the unemployment left in its wake has kept many people from taking advantage of the affordability that has become the silver lining in the dark cloud of the housing market. Although many homes that people had previously been priced out of had come down in price, the lack of employment or fear of being laid off in this tumultuous economy has kept them on the sidelines. Increasing stability on the job front is opening the door to homeownership for many more people, and they will be looking to take advantage of the lowest prices and interest rates that the housing market has seen in many years.

This is promising news for those earning a living with their real estate license. Now that the federal tax incentives for home buyers have expired, affordability and low rates are fueling the housing market recovery. The main obstacle to this continuing to drive the market rebound is employment instability. Regardless of the level of affordability, people cannot borrow funds with no reliable means to repay the loan. Now that the unemployment levels are just starting to decline and the job starts continue to rise, the number of people that are taking the leap into homeownership will rise, as will the need for professionals with a real estate license to meet their needs.

The real estate market turnaround itself is creating employment prospects for people looking to begin a new career path. In most states a real estate license can be earned through an online real estate school in anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. These real estate courses can be accessed 24 hours a day seven days a week so you can control the pace in which you learn. Within a couple of months you could earn your real estate license and be well on your way to earning your first commissions.

The improvements in the job market are further evidence that the worst days of this economic crisis seem to be behind us and it has given way to new opportunities in the real estate market. There are opportunities for homeowners and investors looking for the best deals in years and there are opportunities for real estate licensees.  Even for individuals who are not licensed, the ease of completing the real estate courses to earn a real estate license creates opportunity for those looking to start something new.

The drop in the number of practicing real estate agents and the increasing business due to the economic recovery are creating incredible career opportunities for those who earn their California real estate license.

Even with the federal tax incentive for home buyers coming to an end, property affordability and low interest mortgage rates are proving to be incentive enough to generate a tremendous amount of market activity. As the nation’s economy continues to gain strength more individuals will gain the personal economic stability to purchase a home. These individuals will want to move quickly to take advantage of low pricing. The added business will lead to price increases and that will drive more sellers into the market.
