### Description

The Real Estate A.S. degree is intended to prepare students to work in various sectors of the real estate industry. Real estate brokers perform a variety of functions, including aiding their clients in selling, purchasing, or renting a home or commercial property. They may also solicit borrowers or lenders, or negotiate real estate loans. Real Estate Salespersons work for licensed real estate brokers and perform many of the same acts as brokers, under the supervision of their employer. Other real estate occupations include property management, appraisal, and development.

Real estate brokers are licensed by the State of California Department of Real Estate. Brokers must take and pass an exam to qualify for a license. The Real Estate A.S. degree prepares students for the California Real Estate Broker License exam. Brokers must also satisfy an experience requirement before they can receive their license. Students should consult the California Department of Real Estate webpage (http://www.dre.ca.gov/examinees/) for more information on California's licensing.
