No one is mad at you. I’m not even sure anyone cares. However if you want your real estate license back you will have to do everything all over again.

The November 2017 DBPR Pearson Vue Florida Real Estate License Exam Pass Fail Rates

The November 2017 DBPR Pearson Vue Florida Real Estate License Exam Pass Fail Rates

The Climer School of Real Estate is the best Real Estate School in central Florida to attend if you want your best chance of passing on your first try

Pearson Vue and the DBPR  and the DRE released their November 2017 Florida real estate license state exam pass fail rate summary. The results were the same as always. Terrible.

The Pearson Vue November 2017 Real Estate License Exam Performance Summary

In November 2017, from November 1 to November 30, once again 2526 individuals took the Florida real estate sales associate license state exam for the first time. 1262 of them passed and 1264 failed. This is a pass rate of 50% and a fail rate of 50%. Same as always.

2736 individuals took the Florida real estate sales associate license state exam for a second time or for a repeated time. 806 of them passed while 1930 of them failed this is a pass rate of 29% and a fail rate of 71%. This was actually a little worse than usual. I have never seen the passing rate this low.

Why do you suppose this is? Again, it is my opinion that the powers that be, meaning the Florida Real Estate Commission and the Bureau of education testing, are more interested in trying to trick you into a wrong answer instead of testing your knowledge. I believe that if they wanted more test takers to pass, and more test takers would pass. Be thankful that they don’t want more test takers to fail because I believe that would be easy for them to achieve as well.

This is why it is so important to come to The Climer School of Real Estate, the best real estate school in Florida, to take your mandatory 63-hour pre-license class on your way to passing your state exam. All schools are not created equal. Many students go to some of the other horrible schools out there and sit in the classroom for 60 hours while the instructor reads in the book. They learn nothing. And they fail the exam. At The Climer School of Real Estate, we teach you how to pass your state exam. This is the most important thing.

252 individuals took the Florida real estate brokers state license exam for the first time. 170 of them passed and 82 them failed is a pass rate of 67% and a fail rate of 33%. 184 individuals took the Florida real estate broker state license exam for the second or for a repeated time 77 of them passed and 107 this is a pass rate of 42% and a fail rate of 58%. Again, same as always.

Here’s something you may find interesting. 30 people applied for a Florida real estate license under mutual recognition. This means that they only had to take a 40-question test on the laws of the state Florida. 21 of them passed and 9 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 70% and a fail rate of 30%. 22 individuals took the Florida real estate laws and rules state test for second repeated time. 11 of them passed and 11 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 50% and a fail rate of 50%. Apparently the 40-question test of on Florida house rules is a little bit easier than the full 100 question test.

Instructors are plugging along at about the same pace. 8 people took the Florida real estate instructor state exam for the very first time. 3 of them passed and five of them failed. This is a pass rate of 37% and a fail rate of 63%. 12 individuals took the Florida real estate instructor exam for a second or for a repeated time. 2 of them passed and 10 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 17% and a fail rate of 83%. Apparently, it’s not that easy to become a Florida real estate instructor.

We are still in trouble with appraisers in Florida. Only 2 people took the certified residential appraisers state license examination for the first time. The both passed this time. Zero people failed as a first-time test taker. Three people took the certified residential appraisers state exam for a second or for a repeated time. None of them passed and all three of them failed. This is a pass rate of 0% and a fail rate of 100%. But even scarier is that the state of Florida only added two new certified residential appraisers into its ranks in the entire month of November 2017. That is all.

It is not easy to pass your Florida real estate state test. You need the best preparation available. This is why you want to come to The Climer School of Real Estate. Friends don’t let friends go anywhere else.

Your "90 Day Goals" List. Write them down NOW!

The Importance of Writing Down Your 90 Day Goals Part 1

Goal Setting and Business Planning

The Climer School of Real Estate, the best real estate school in central Florida, we get together every three months and go over our next quarterly business planning and strategy. We believe this is an invaluable exercise and are always amazed at how productive and fruitful our quarterly planning get-together sessions are.

I’ve been taught by many coaches and mentors the following adage:

What you do now will manifest itself in results in 90 days and what you are experiencing now is a direct result of what you did 90 days ago.

For me in my business life this has always been true.

Your 90 day goals including monthly, weekly, and daily should feed and some court your annual one your goals. Your one year goals should feed and support your three year goals. Your three year goals should feed and support your five year goals, and then your ten year goals etc. I read a book somewhere one time the talked about the fact that there are some Japanese corporations that have 500 year goals. I mean, why not?

Reason why I’m writing this series about your 90 day goals in your business goals business planning is the strategizing is because I know anyone who does not believe that writing down your goals and having a business plan is not important. Everybody thinks it is. The odd part of human nature is that this almost nobody does this.

And I’m not just pointing a finger at everybody. I have been guilty of this more often than not. I know it’s important, critically important, and yet I don’t do it. But I’m doing now, more than ever and it is truly beneficial.

If you’re reading this you should sit down right now and create a list of goals that you would like to accomplish in the next nine days. There is a popular acronym SMART that people subscribe to regarding your goals. And it’s a cute acronym but I believe it’s true. Goals need to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-based. If you think about if they’re not there really just wishes and desires and hopes.

When you turn the goal into a timebased action what you are really doing is challenging and tasking yourself. This is easier said than done. Fact is the reason why great coaches are worth their weight in gold.

The great coach hold you accountable to the goals that you say are important to you and your family, not goals of coaching support.

I know a lot of people that would love to earn $1 million a year. Very few of them know how to. I’m going to step on a limb and say it’s fairly easy to make may dollars year income in this credible country we live in, America. But you have to have a plan and an idea of how you going to get from point a to point.

This is where the realistic and attainable part comes in. The story that I love to use when I’m coaching my students on goal setting and their business plan is getting a college degree.

A lot of people these days have a college degree. Certainly to attain a college degree of any type, you had to at one point in your life make a decision I want to college green I’m going to get it. The reason why so many people have a college degree is because there is a clearly defined roadmap and half set out anyone and everyone who desires this end goal.

First you have to apply to the college, fill out an application. You may have to take some tests like the SAT. once you’re accepted you reach your advisor and you register for your first semester’s classes. You buy the textbooks, you go to class, you do the homework, you study and prepare for all the quizzes and tests, and then you register for the next semester’s classes, and do it again.

Each class is a building block for the next class the next semester based on the degree you chose after four or five years of following a defined roadmap you now have attain a college degree. My question for you is when you even thought that you want to get a college degree, and it was four or five years in the future, was there any guarantee that it was going to happen other than your desire and intention?

The answer is no!

However you knew you could follow ”The Plan”. And you knew you could follow the plan because he sought out front of you and it was attainable and realistic.

Some people have a vision and see a road map to earn $1 million in the next year. But not everybody does. That is not a terrible thing.

If you are new and real estate, may be your internal compass and roadmap says $50,000 in your first year. Maybe it says $80,000. Maybe it says $100,000. If this is what your internal Compass is saying, then you should listen to it and embrace it and go for.

Learn the skills of your first year of real estate education in the trenches. Don’t give up. Next year you might double it. If you make $50,000 in your first year, you might make $100,000 in your second year. Then you start building a team based on your knowledge and your third year you make $250,000.

I believe so powerfully in the power of writing down your goals especially your 90 day goals that I will be writing a series of blog to help you along this path.

What I want you to do right now, is write down your goals for the next nine days. Write down what you see yourself accomplishing. If you can see yourself accomplishing these and it is realistic and you can do it.

Write down an income goal. Write down a number of transactions goal but don’t stop there. Your life is more than just closing your real estate. Some of you may have a weight loss goal. Make it realistic. Some of you have a start exercising again goal. Some of you may have a spend quality time with my significant other goal. Some of you may have some new spiritual goals. Some of you may have taken a vacation or go to the beach for a week goal.

Write them down. Say them out loud.

In my next blog on goal setting, we will work through how to create business planning steps to head down the path to achieving your goals. Don’t give up keep going forward.

The only shame is quitting. Make it happen!

The New FREC 61-J2 Rule on Team or Group Advertising

Does Your Team or Group Name have an illegal or forbidden term?

What it really means

The Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) is discussing what is probably the last draft on new 61J2 – 10.026 team or group advertising rule. My estimate is that this new rule will be voted on and passed in next month's (September's) meeting.

This has been in work for a long time. I myself heard the commission discussing this issue in a commission meeting almost 2 years ago. 

 The reason for this rule change is because the commission had felt that many sales associates and broker associate were stepping way over the line for too long of a time with regards to the way they present themselves to the general public. 

Only a broker is allowed to name themselves, and market themselves to the public as a real estate business. Sales associate and broker associate may only do business under their own name. And it needs to be the name that they have registered with the DBPR. 

 The Florida Real Estate Commission believed that many team names were actually the name of a real estate business (which is not allowed). They had been receiving numerous complaints from consumers who did not know who they were working with or what brokerage. 

Some of the complaints were that they did not know with who on what team they were working with and they had no idea who showed up to the appointment. 

 And I want to remind you that the only thing that the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), the Division of Real Estate (DRE), and the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) care about is the general public. They do not care about real estate licensees. 

When the general public starts complaining about licensees too much, the commission is going to do something about it. 

 So here are the new rules on Team or Group Advertising: 

1. Team or Group Advertising shall mean a collective name or logo used by one or more real estate licensees who represent themselves to the public as part of one brokerage that performs real estate license activities under the supervision of the same broker. 

As a reminder, every single sales associate and broker associate works for their employing broker. They are not independent business entities. 

2. Each team or group shall file with the broker an appointed team leader to represent the team or group. This team leader shall be responsible for ensuring that the advertising is in compliance with Chapter 475 Florida Statutes and 61J2 Florida Administrative Code. 

3. The registered broker must maintain a current written record of each team’s or group’s members. 

4. Team or group names. Real estate team or group names must always include the word “team” or “group” as part of the name. 

Real estate team or group name shall not include the following words: 

a. Associates
b. Brokerage
c. Brokers
d. Company
e. Corporation
f. Corp.
g. Inc.
h. LLC
i. LP or LLP
j. Real Estate
k. Realty
l. or similar words suggesting the team or group is a separate real estate brokerage or company 

All of these indicate a real estate brokerage business. It had become too deceptive to the general public. Only a broker can own and operate and register a real estate brokerage business, not sales associates or broker associates.

5. Unless otherwise provided, this rule applies to all mediums of advertising including print, radio or television, and Internet. It includes but is not limited to such type of advertising as signs, billboards, email, business stationery, business cards, business documents, signs, logos, newsletters, or electronic equivalents, or anything of a similar kind of use for a similar purpose as any of the items set forth above. 

6. Advertisements containing the team or group name, team or group member, or individual licensee shall not appear in larger print or be more prominently displayed than the name of the registered brokerage’s logo. 

Many of the teams were further trying to skirt the issue by putting the required brokerage information in teeny tiny print somewhere near the bottom of the ad. It is another rule that all advertising must contain the name of the brokerage. 

The commission considered this as another way for teams to break the rule. So now, there’s a new rule. Nothing can be larger than the print that contains the name of the real estate brokerage. 

 7. All signage, including yards and billboards, must comply with these requirements no later than 12 months following effective date of this rule. 

8. Excluding the items listed above, all other relevant advertising must comply with these requirements no later than six months following the effective date of this rule. 

By the way, everything is advertising. While the discussion of this was going on for a couple of years I always let my classes know about it. On many occasions I had students call me and asked me about a team name that contained one of the now forbidden, illegal terms. 

I told them all, don’t do it. I told them they would be wasting their time and money. They were going to spend money with a URL, a webpage, SEO and SEM to brand them, business cards, car placard, and so on and so on. 

I told them they were going to be wasting your time and money and they were going have to be changing it all soon. 

They responded, “but my broker said it was okay.” I asked them, then why did you call me and ask me? Then I would tell them you get to do whatever you want.  

And now and everyone is going to be changing their team names or group names that contain one of the forbidden terms. 

 But you are all sales people. So use it as an opportunity to communicate with your entire customer database. At the very least, turn it into a positive!

2-Day State Exam Review Class July 6th and 7th, and Pricing Structure Changes

Changes in the 2 Day State Exam Review Class starting Thursday and Friday July 6th and 7th

Thoughts from Andy Brown at The Climer School of Real Estate, the Best Real Estate School in central Florida

The Climer School of Real Estate is having a 2-day Sales Associate License State Exam Review Class Thursday and Friday, July 6th and 7th. Our famous 2-day review class runs from 9 in the morning to 5:30 in the afternoon.

This is a very popular class. Every class we have approximately 40 to 80 people in attendance. One third to one half of them come from other schools. Many of them are online students.

2 Day Review Class with 90 students registered!

The problem is that I, as well as my other instructors, have noticed that most of the students from other schools don’t have a clue of what we’re talking about half the time. This leads us to believe that the other schools are actually very bad schools and are not teaching their students to pass the state exam. So, the students come to the Climer School of Real Estate so that we can clean up the other schools’ messes.

Because of this and the unbelievable loyalty of our students, we have made a significant pricing structure change with our 2-day review class.

For Climer School students (the people who made the right decision about choice of real estate school) the structure and pricing will not change. Your cost is still $135 including the review manual. And this still gives our students access to every 2-day review class, for free, until they pass their state exam.

However, for the students who made terrible decisions regarding their real estate school selection and did not attend the Climer School of Real Estate, they will now pay $200 for their first 2-day review class. If they wish to attend additional 2-day review classes they will be charged 50% or $100 for each additional review class they attend.

For quite a while we have felt it the pricing structure for students from other schools is just not fair to the Climer School students. And we have adjusted to make it so.

And while I’m on the subject we have a few other pricing changes as well.

The 63-hour sales associate pre-licensing class is now $315. We are still the least expensive good school in the area.

We caution everybody who reads this and is looking for a school to be wary of real estate licensing schools that are attached to real estate brokerages and who are actively recruiting for sales agents.

This leads you to believe two things:

 1. Teaching you how to pass the state exam is not their area of expertise. They may be great at showing you how to buy and sell real estate, but not at passing the state exam and

 2. They are just trying to get you in so that they can show you their real estate brokerage. What they care about is getting you to sign on with them instead of another firm that may be more suited for you in the long run.

Do not let a price difference $10, $15, or even $25 fool you into believing that that school is better for you than the Climer School of Real Estate. When you fail at the Pearson Vue testing center one time, it is going to cost you an additional $36.75. Do not take unnecessary chances.

And certainly do not be fooled into thinking that just because a school is much much more expensive than we are that it is a better school! This mistake will cost you lots of unnecessary money!

The Climer School of Real Estate is The Best Real Estate School in central Florida

The 45-hour post licensing course for sales associate is now $220. This is the very best class that you will possibly take as a mandatory, required class.

The Broker 72 hour pre-licensing class is now $450.

We have not raised our fees in 18 months and even now, we are still the least expensive true classroom school in central Florida.

Be careful of discounted, super-cheap online classes. This is where most of the other students come from. We are truly astounded at what they are not taught. We’re going to the review class and sometimes they look like they are deer caught in headlights. We are constantly telling them, with true sympathy, we are not teaching the material in the review class, we are reviewing. We asked them to talk to us at a break or lunch.

It really was the job of the pre-license school that they chose to have taught them the information that they need.

Friends don’t let friends go anywhere but the Climer School of Real Estate.
