That depends.

Would you like to set your own work hours?
Do you get up in the morning dreading work?
Do weekends fly by way too quickly?
Do you feel like you’re watching your life pass you by while you work?
Do you want a challenge? Do you want to try something new?
How about actually getting paid what you think you’re worth?

Why not Real Estate? A Real Estate License in Kentucky may be easier to obtain than you think. Imagine you are finally ready to plop down on the couch to watch some TV after a long and stressful day of work. You barely made it in time to get Suzie off to dance lessons and Johnnie to football practice. The encounter you had with your boss Mr. Smith at work earlier is still gnawing at you and leaves you feeling irritated and angry. You ask yourself, “When will he finally appreciate my dedication and hard work?” I wish I were my own boss. I could set my own hours and actually enjoy my time away from the office.

Now picture yourself in a new life as a real estate agent in Kentucky. Working your own schedule. Meeting with existing clients to help them achieve the American dream. As you shake hands with a young couple after your first closing, you think of how happy they will be to provide their new son with a big backyard to play in and a place everyone can call home.

Instead of sitting down wasting time in front of the TV, sit in front of your computer and start your new career in real estate. Log onto RealEstateRenegade.com, create a user name and password, and get your license. That’s right; all you need is a computer because all of our pre-license classes are online. (At least until you get ready to take your final exam) Not quite ready to tell Mr. Smith what you have been dying to say to him the past 15 years? You don’t have to.

The Kentucky Real Estate Commission only requires a 96 hour class to get a Kentucky real estate license.
What about the time to attend a Kentucky Real Estate School? Now, let’s break that 96 hours down.
That’s 2 hours a day for just 48 days. Dedicate just 30 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes at lunch, and 1 hour in the evening on your computer and you'll be done before you know it. Of course if your really motivated you can choose to attend up to 8 hours a day and possibly finish in only a couple of weeks. You do have to complete every activity so completion time can vary slightly, but could a better situation exist than to have a completely flexible schedule? Don't have much time right now, but want to get stared? You can take up to 6 months to complete the entire course.

WOW! No driving (we all know how high gas can be), no struggling to fit a class in your schedule and no wasting precious time outside of your home away from your family. No dealing with stuffy classes, boring teachers, and those annoying people who always are making some kind of bodily noise (you know the type) interfering with your concentration. We fit into your time-table day or night. At the end of the course, you will be required to take a monitored/proctored exam at one of twenty locations in Kentucky. The proctored exam is the only part of the class you can't take online, but we even make that easy because you can take your proctored exam from us in Ashland, Bowling Green, Campbellsville, Elizabethtown, Erlanger/ Northern Kentucky, Frankfort, Georgetown, Henderson, Hopkinsville, Lebanon, Louisville, Madisonville, Mount Sterling, Nicholasville, Owensboro, Paducah, Pikeville, Shelbyville, Somerset, and Shepherdsville. If none of those locations will work for you, we can even try to find a proctor in another location. We've had people in other states who will be moving to Kentucky that didn't even have to travel here for the exam because we found them a proctor in their current city.

Now that you have decided to take the plunge and go after your dreams, let’s discuss why you should choose Thornton’s Real Estate Academy. There are many real estate schools in Kentucky to choose from, but nobody and we mean nobody gives you more value for your dollar. What makes us better than any other real estate school? For one not only are we the only Kentucky Pre-License education provider who currently offers the required 96 hour Pre-license course online, our founder and instructor Todd (Renegade) Thornton was a successful real estate agent and broker before focusing his attention on improving the quality and availability of real estate education. He knows what it takes not only to pass the exam, but also how to be a successful agent. Did we mention he’s also the author of two real estate books and been on numerous radio and television shows?

Remember when you started your job? You probably knew nothing about the profession, much less on being an expert. What if you had unlimited knowledge and resources at your disposal? Do you think it would have helped early on your job or career to start with a solid foundation? You bet. When you start your career, you will have knowledge and tools you will actually use. Not just useless information.

“I’m not that computer savvy, how difficult will this class be?” You ask. Can you read and follow directions? It’s as simple as that. You read the text and we guide you through the course. I must mention to keep you from getting bored; we have included over 40 hours of video and audio clips, electronic flashcards, matching exercises, and quizzes. Oh yea, if you get stuck on something, no need to fret, Todd (The Renegade) Thornton and the Real Estate Renegade Team are here to help. We are a call, fax, email, or instant message away. We always respond as quickly as possible. Remember the Domino’s slogan, “It’s delivered in 30 minutes less or it’s free?” We won’t give you a free pizza, but we will certainly give you our attention as quickly as we can. Our response time and level of service are unmatched in online real estate education.

All of our online classes are delivered at our learning management website. Click below to register. Tuition is only $579.

Are you wondering if you have the right computer or Internet connection? Beginning August 15th, 2008 a high speed Internet connection (DSL/Cable, etc.) will be required to register for any of our online courses. Even a slower DSL connection (256k or lower) may cause you to experience wait times as videos and other multimedia resources load. Now, I guess if you wanted to use us as an excuse to run out and buy that top of the line computer you have been dreaming about, you can, but any modern computer with an updated web browser should work just fine. However, if you've been wanting to buy a new computer anyway, we will not take responsibility when your spouse/significant other gets the bill. If you have problems with your computer, our 24/7 computer technical support will give you their best effort to have you up and running in no time.

Do you want to know what’s included in the class? While the Kentucky real estate education you receive will be priceless, we are also going to give you a textbook, a study class (a $50 value!), a personalized certificate upon completion and an extra special bonus a 90 day post license training! We really need a superhero spokesperson (Dollar Man) to explain just how much value you'll receive as a student of Thornton's Real Estate Academy. Here is just a partial list of what students receive from the #1 online real estate school in Kentucky:

• Free Textbook- Modern Real Estate Practice- $50 value
• No Pass No Pay Guarantee on Exam ($75 value)
• Electronic Flash Cards ($25 Value)
• Online Searchable Glossary Available 24/7 ($25 value)
• Audio Clips (Streaming and MP3 files) for Real Estate Exam Prep ($50 value)
• 90 Days Post License Training ($90 value)
• Available online 24/7- Start today and work at your own pace. (Priceless)

I know you’re not going to believe this but we have even more benefits to offer. In case you happened to skip over some parts of this article here are more benefits:

• No driving to class so you save lots of time and you save big money on gas.
• You can start right now. Registration is easy. Start in 5 minutes or less.

• If necessary, you can spread the class out over a 6 month time frame.
• We think we provide the best education value of any real estate school in Kentucky and students all over the state seem to agree.

We've included a map below showing the location of students who accessed our website over one month. The larger dots represent more students. Some of you might be thinking "that's a lot of students- are there already too many agents". The motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said it best, "There's always room at the top." All of our students have a tremendous opportunity to succeed in the real estate business, because we help every student in any way that we can.

I know what you’re thinking. All of this must be way too expensive. Like most real estate schools, it probably will cost a fortune. WRONG! Our class is only $579. I repeat you can get your Kentucky real estate license education AND everything we mentioned above for only $579. (limited time only)

What are the Kentucky Real Estate License Requirements?

1- 18+ years of age
2- At least a high school diploma or equivalent (GED is acceptable)
3- 96 Hours of approved real estate education (Must be from an accredited institution)
4- FBI Criminal Background Check (We provide info upon registration)
5- Pass the real estate exam (75% or higher)

Do most Kentucky Real Estate Schools provide any written guarantees? Well, we are probably the only Kentucky real estate school with such low tuition to also offer a *No Pass, No Pay Guarantee. If by chance you don’t pass the Kentucky State Real Estate Exam on your first try (Most of our students pass the first time with flying colors) we will reimburse you the test fee of $75.

What’s the catch? There’s no catch. Like our motto says “Information without the Overload 24/7.” We simply want to offer you reliable and useful real estate education at an affordable price available whenever you need it. Hopefully in return, you will pass our name on to anyone else that's thinking about getting a real estate license or even better find someone that also wants to attend the class at the same time. And if you do, next year we will give you a free continuing education class to even further your real estate career. So what have you got to lose? Here is the sign you have been waiting for.
