Careers and Education

New Agents

The first step to a rewarding career in real estate begins with completing a course in the Salesperson Principals of Real Estate. Successful completion of the course is a prerequisite for the State Licensing Examination.  ERA Blue Diamond Realty has become a Strategic Alliance Partner of Moseley Real Estate School to offer the New Agent courses each month at our facility.  For more information visit:
