Embarking on a career in real estate is an exciting journey, and understanding the costs associated with obtaining your license is a crucial first step. At Kaplan Real Estate School, powered by the Rick Fuller Team (RFT), we aim to provide clarity on the investment required and the value you receive in return.
Understanding the Investment
Our Kaplan course hosted by RFT costs $349 for the materials and $149 ($498 total) for the RFT host fee. The investment in a host fee ensures that you have an RFT Top Agent who will provide in session answers, accountability to ensure you follow through on the licensing process, and will guide you as you have the potential to join RFT. Online learning courses without a mentor or accountability have only a 5%-15% completion rate. With an RFT mentor, your chances of a career in real estate are greatly increased.
