Careers in Real Estate

shaking hands in front of a house

The real estate industry offers many exciting and rewarding career opportunities with a wide variety of jobs to pursue. PCC can help you prepare for occupations such as real estate broker and property manager. Other possible real estate careers include loan officer, appraiser, escrow agent, tax assessor, title examiner, construction contractor, land developer and professional inspector. You can even learn how to become a real estate investor.

PCC can help you begin your real estate career or provide continuing education to help you renew your license. At this time PCC offers pre-license courses for real estate brokers and property managers.

Licenses

PCC offers courses for those who wish to become licensed as a:

  • Real estate broker
  • Property manager

Before entry into the program students should possess basic skills in math and the English language. If in doubt about proficiency in either of these areas, students should complete COMPASS (math and English skills assessment).

See the catalog and Licensing Overview page for information regarding program and licensure requirements.

Post License and General Interest Real Estate Courses

PCC also offers post-license and general interest real estate courses, which do not lead to a license. Examples include:

  • Introduction to Real Estate.
  • Advanced Real Estate Practices
  • Real Estate Investments

There are other real estate courses available. For a complete listing of all courses consult the PCC course catalog or the class schedule. See the Winter/Spring 2012 Class Schedule for information on the course offerings for these upcoming terms and to determine your course planning.
