United® Real Estate Partners with Kaplan to Offer Premier Discounted Licensing Program

Aug. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- August 5, 2013 (KANSAS CITY, Mo.) –– United® Real Estate, (http://www.unitedrealestate.com) a fast-growing urban-centric real estate and franchise operation company, today announced its partnership with Kaplan Professional Schools, to offer potential United agents a discounted (15%) cost for signing up for the real estate licensing program. Kaplan Professional Schools, United’s Education Partner of Choice, owns and operates one of the largest groups of real estate schools in the U.S. and is bringing their premier licensing, exam preparation and continuing education programs to potential United Real Estate agents.

 

From pre-licensing to exam prep courses, Kaplan helps students easily and quickly acquire sales and/or broker licenses, as well as continuing education courses that ensure students are up-to-date on needed qualifications. Kaplan’s new On Demand Real Estate Licensing and Exam Prep courses combine the benefits of expert instruction with the convenience of studying anytime, anywhere. In addition, the courses allow potential United Real Estate agents, with the completed required education, obtain a license by simply registering for the licensing success package, applying for the exam/license application, and taking the exam. And since no two students’ schedules are exactly alike, Kaplan offers three unique course delivery formats.

 

United’s relationship with Kaplan could not have come at a more pivotal time for the real estate industry. Since the market’s peak in 2006, memberships in the National Association of Realtors were on a steady decline as a result of a decrease in transaction volume, economic stagnation and significant housing down turn.  With the continuing recovery of the real estate market across the United States, the National Association of REALTORS' has once again reached over 1,000,000 members, ending the five-year decline. As the real estate market continues to have increased transaction volume each month, the United/Kaplan partnership will be the ideal solution for potential agents.

 

“Historically any time there is growth and confidence in the residential real estate market, it is followed by an increase of new real estate agents joining the profession. We view our relationship with Kaplan and forming the United Real Estate licensing school combined with the United success program as a key strategic direction that will give our United company owned and franchised offices a large advantage in recruiting the next generation of real estate agents.”  Peter Giese President United Real Estate”
