Real estate in New Jersey is one of the pillar industries that drives the state’s economy. Thus, becoming a professional realtor demands an increasing level of emphasis on career training and continuing education. Every state requires that anyone engaging professionally in the real estate business, either as a broker or as a salesperson, must be licensed, and in each case, a state examination is a prerequisite for a license.
Real Estate sales person classes offered at Ocean School of Real Estate serve as an educational guide for students and for anyone who wants to take New Jersey’s real estate licensing examination. Our school and instructors should be considered to be a reference for those already in the profession, and for those other professionals dealing with various aspects of real estate.
What the 75-Hour Salesperson Real Estate Classes Cover
Principles of Real Estate Practice in New Jersey is the textbook used to shape the curriculum for the salesperson classes offered at Ocean School of Real Estate. This book contains the essentials of the national and NJ real estate law, principles, and practices necessary for basic competence as a real estate professional and as mandated by New Jersey license law. It is based on our highly successful and popular national publication, Principles of Real Estate Practice, which is in use in real estate schools nationwide.
The text is tailored to the needs of the pre-license student. It is designed to
- make it easy for students to learn the material and pass their real estate exam
- prepare students for numerous career applications
- stress practical, rather than theoretical, skills and knowledge.
Principles of Real Estate Practice in New Jersey is streamlined, direct and to-the-point. It includes multiple learning reinforcements. It has a student-oriented organization, both within each chapter and from chapter to chapter. Its examples and exercises are grounded in the authors’ many years in real estate education.

What a Live Online Class Feels Like
Self-paced courses hand you videos and leave you on your own. Our classes work differently. Your instructor teaches in real time and stops for questions. Classmates work through the same material with you. Real New Jersey transactions are used to explain contracts, disclosures and agency rules. Many students who have been out of school for years tell us this structure kept them on track. You get the convenience of learning from home without studying alone.
