Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to let you know that I watched your video, and it was incredibly informative and engaging! I often find this typeof videos to be a bit dull, but yours was a refreshing change. You managed to make the subject matter fascinating and easy to understand without losing any of its depth. Great job on delivering such a knowledgeable and not-at-all-boring video! Looking forward to more content from you in the future!
It's a good thing that I've stumbled upon your video before starting my second attempt at module 01. I failed the first time, though I'm feeling more determined to finish the program! I don't know what it is about real estate sales, but for some reason, this type of career would work well for me. I appreciate all of the advice that you've given throughout the video!
Hi Jennifer , what sort of factors would a broker consider before taking in a fresh realtor ? Do brokers maintain a certain number of realtors under their roof or they can sort of take as many as they want ? Thanks for the great informative video.
Most can take on as many Realtors as they want and will take you on if you pay your office bill (it is actually a competitive game to run a brokerage)! If you interview at several brokerages here, you will likely find they will all offer you a position. Just be sure to start with one that has good training program!
You need it when you go to apply for your license, but not necessarily before you start the courses. However - I would definitely want to make sure that I would be allowed to have my license before going through all that work!
Hello Jennifer, I'm currently studying for module 1. I have a question regarding the exam questions, will they be exactly the same as they are in the practice exam we get in the course (there's a total of 200 practice questions for all 6 units) or will they be different or slightly altered in the 50 question real exam?
Hi there! First of all, congrats on registering. Second - I truthfully don't know. When I got my license, it was a different format than the format they use now. What I can say however is the practice questions were realistic and representative of the types of questions you are going to see on the exam.
Hello Jennifer I just stumbled on ur channel and you’re very informative! I wanna ask if you think it’s better to work part time while studying the first modules or do you think I can work full time? ❤i will be very happy if you respond
It really depends on you and how you operate. I was more of a "get through it" kind of person and would do an entire text book from cover-to-cover in a week and then write the test. If I had done a bit every night I think I would've lost some motivation. But everyone is different. I know people that have done it solely in the evenings while they worked another job, too.
Thanks for the helpful video! I have some questions. 1. Is it true that, in Manitoba, you will not be allowed to become a realtor unless you intend to be one full-time? 2. If the answer to question 1 is yes, can you maintain your current full time job until you pass the exams, join a brokerage, and officially become a realtor? Seems unreasonable to have an individual cut off their source of income before they become a realtor. 3. Can you register for and write the exams without taking the courses separately? Or is being enrolled in the modules a prerequisite to writing the respective exams?
Hi Joshua. To answer your questions: 1. It is not true. It USED to be true, but they removed that rule a few years ago now. You can have another source of income AND be a REALTOR. Although, I can't say that I would necessarily recommend it. 2. See response to question 1. But again, I think those that do the best are the ones that have a "Burn the Ships" type of mentality going into it. 3. There are challenge exams instead of doing the courses but you have to meet certain thresholds. I would reach out to the Manitoba Real Estate Association for clarification. They are linked in the comments.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for alot of good videos on your channel. I’m want to change my job and become real estate agent in Winnipeg. But i have few interesting questions which only agent can tell me. After when i will have license and a job with broker company in the beginning how they allow you to sell a house? I mean house becomes on market, broker somehow dividing listings between realtors what he have ? Or whats the procedure? I know some brokers have 100+ realtors and if you new it’s difficult to sell something when you “green” in that business. But you need it cause u need have money for living. So if you reply me i will appreciate it thanks.
How long does it take realistically to complete the whole course. Would it be realistically complete each module week after week or is it more complex than that
It really does depend on you -the time you have to dedicate to it, what proportion of the information you may already know, your learning style, etc. I would say you could power through a module every week but it would definitely be a huge challenge.
Hi! I'm wondering if you know whether or not it's possible to take the exams without taking the courses. I'm sure the courses are helpful but if there are books/online content that can teach the same information, would this be an option?
I actually don't know! I would call the MREA to inquire. I do know there are options to challenge the exams, but I think there are prerequisites to be able to do so. You can call them at 204.772.0405
Hey, thanks for the informative video! I am currently a realtor in Ontario and planning to move to Winnipeg. Can I transfer my license to Winnipeg or do I have to complete all the courses?
Awesome - and welcome. You will need to check with the Manitoba Real Estate Association. I do believe there is a challenge exam for those that have previously held a license in another province.
This wouldn't be my area of expertise. But I do know brokerages that offer training and I believe they do give you practice questions. RE/MAX Professionals (the brokerage I'm with) is one of them!
Quick question, do i have to remain signed under a broker for the remainder of my career or is there anyway i can be an independant Real Estate Agent? Would i have to complete my brokers license in order to open a firm myself and work for that firm?
Hi Samuel, you are allowed to switch brokerages. You can open your own brokerage but you need a broker's license. You must have a license for at least two years as a salesperson before being able to get your broker's license.
I am recently retired. I come from a specialty trade contracting background. Specifically electrical, well versed in homes wired in k&t and aluminum. I am considering my options for "work" in retirement. My self-imposed restrictions are that I usually spend the month of February away and spend a fair bit of time out at the lake from May to mid September. I actually like spending the weekdays out and the weekends in. I'm not interested so much in building a business but more working within a team in providing support and information. Given my skills and experience as a former electrical contractor and the level of commitment I have stated, would real estate, and a realtor's licence be something I might obtain and would someone like myself be of value and therefore welcomed to a real estate team?
It depends on the house, how many bedrooms there are, area, etc. But for that kind of cash outlay, you should be receiving around $1600 - $1900 in rent each month.
@@YourQueenTeam Im actually at a very hard spot right now, first year in uni but I don't wanna waste time & money on university, so I have always thought about real estate, I was even thinking about shadowing a real estate agent for a few months to see how it works
@@harmanbatth6893 Definitely a good place to start - this is a unique career and one that comes with many surprises. I couldn't think of a better idea than shadowing!
@@asianfoodblogger4159 That's subjective! Some on the team found them easy, some found them challenging. If you are good at math and memorization, they really aren't too bad! The courses have changed since I took them though. I believe if you reach out to the MREA, they can let you look at some sample materials.

Does this sales licence common for commercial real estate sales as well?
Yes, you are required to have a license to sell Commercial Real Estate as well!

Everyone has different procedures and structures - it's important to ask these questions when interviewing at the individual brokerages.

Is there any way you can make a video of a practice questionnaire that where people can practice for exam ?

@@YourQueenTeam Is it a Real Estate Broker that i have to work under or can it also be a Mortgage Broker?

Quite possibly. There are all personalities and different needs amongst teams.
Hi, can you please tell me that is it necessary that I have to be a permanent resident of Canada to do this particular course ?
Hi Jashan, yes - I did discuss in the video and the Websites below give all the requirements/special exceptions.
How to covert Ontario real estate license to Manitoba ??
Hi Nitin - I believe that you can actually challenge the exam. I would call the Manitoba Real Estate Association to confirm.
How many deals you do in a month on average
On average, I do around 10 deals per month. That is me individually though - my team's contributions are in addition to that!
If I buy a house 320000 to 350000 on cash as foreign investor, how much I get the rent after all taxes
It depends on the house, how many bedrooms there are, area, etc. But for that kind of cash outlay, you should be receiving around $1600 - $1900 in rent each month.

Thanks for watching!
Is real estate a good career to pursue in Winnipeg?
You are asking someone that is incredibly biased - but I would say if you are a people person and willing to work hard - then ABSOLUTELY!
