He made everything very clear and to the point. Being a senior, I’m very cost conscious. I spent time investigating real estate schools and their costs for my agents and found that Namir George’s school to be the best value of all surrounding schools looked at.” During the three year license renewal period, 18 hours of continuing education will have been completed. No previous experience is required to apply for the Michigan salesperson license.

Roy Frank, associate broker of Budget Realty LLC, said “The thing that impressed me most about the Michigan Institute of Real Estate was that I had multiple locations to choose from. I worked in Oakland County, Michigan, but I had the freedom to go to a real estate class in Genesse County, MI.
