WHAT IS THE ANTHONY PROGRAM?

Anthony Schools offers a thorough and structured, but not rigid, program that will help you throughout the licensing process:

(1) Real Estate Principles

  • 10 four-hour classes that you may attend on a flexible schedule because each class covers a different subject. We teach from well-organized, printed outlines (included in your tuition) so that you do not have to take notes in class.
  • 10 quizzes (take one after each class). You find out immediately how you are doing.
  • 10 final exams--review your test with detailed explanations of the correct answers--you will be able to answer every kind of problem on the State exam!
  • Based on your progress, we will help you decide when to take the State exam.


(2) Real Estate Practice

This course covers how to get started in the business and then stresses what agents should do every day to be successful--the practical aspects of preparing competitive market analyses, obtaining and servicing listings, showing property, arranging financing, closing the deal and handling the details so that escrow closes. See the live class schedule or take it anytime on DVD
 

(3) Legal Aspects of Real Estate

Although you may choose any of our 8 electives, Legal Aspects will be the most helpful in preparing for your state exam. Available live, on DVD or by independent study (i/s).

 

THE STATE EXAM

The exam is held in Oakland and San Jose several weekdays each month. To pass, you must answer 70% of the 150 multiple-choice questions correctly within 3¼ hours. We supply the forms needed to file your application and will help you fill them out.

About half of all examinees fail whereas over 90% of our graduates pass the State exam on the first attempt. Detailed statistics are posted monthly on the bulletin board--we are proud of our students' success!


HOW DO I FIND A JOB?

  • Fill out one of our green cards, requesting that brokers contact you.
  • Check our bulletin board: many brokers who are eager to hire our graduates have posted job listings.
  • Talk with brokers who come to visit during class breaks.
  • Attend career nights.

"Anthony's School in Foster City was the right choice for Real Estate Education for me. I looked forward to each class whether it was live or taped. Classes are always open for student discussions as well as up to date information. I was so impressed with passing the first time with their program that I have already signed up for my classes to prepare for my Broker's License Exam when ready. I thank Kathy and Jim for their staff's standard of professionalism."

TESTIMONIAL

   "As a college student and young entrepreneur, I sought an accelerated program to prepare for the California Real Estate Salesperson's exam. Anthony's was a clear choice. Anthony's offers engaging classes, knowledgeable professors, networking opportunities and a wealth of class materials which provided me with a solid foundation from which to study for the state exam.

   "I felt confident heading into the Exam and was very well prepared. Many of the Exam questions were taken directly from class materials. Needless to say, I passed the State Exam on my first try. I recommend Anthony's without any hesitation.

   "I am currently in my second year of studies as a Communications major at Furman University in South Carolina. I will be affiliating with a broker as a referral agent while I pursue my college degree, and plan to actively pursue a career involving real estate in my future."

Faculty & Directions

 


 "My experience as a student at Anthony Schools was great. I was very motivated to pass all my classes as soon as possible, so I could take the state exam. The teachers and videos were great and if I had any problems I would get immediate feedback from an instructor or Kathy. I could not have passed all three classes in less than 3 months and pass the state exam without Anthony Schools.
   "After I received my license I signed on with Broker George Chopoff of RE/MAX Star Properties. Which was a great fit right from the start, within 15 days I had my first listing. My listing was a house in Emerald Hills for $1,880,000 which I sold in less than 40 days. In my 3.5 months as a real estate agent I now have 6 listings which is up there with the top producers at RE/MAX.
   "I would like to send a big Thank You to Anthony Schools and Kathy for all their support & guidance."
