FAQ
Common questions students ask.
These answers keep the decision practical.
Do I have to come to Lafayette to take a class?
No. The self paced courses are online and open anywhere, any time. The live classes run on Zoom, so you can sit in one from any parish in Louisiana. The Lafayette office is there if you would rather talk in person, but nothing requires you to travel.
Who actually answers the phone?
Steven Desormeaux, the instructor. He is a working Louisiana broker who teaches the pre-license and continuing education classes himself, so the person answering your question is the person teaching the course.
How fast will I hear back if I email?
Email is usually answered the same business day. If you need an answer quickly, calling 337-522-3334 during business hours is faster than waiting on email.
Can you tell me how many CE hours I still owe this year?
Yes. Call with your license number and we can walk through what you have completed, what is left, and which courses cover the gap. Louisiana requires twelve hours a year, including the mandatory topic.
I am not licensed yet. What should I ask about first?
Start with whether real estate suits you before you spend anything. After that the questions worth asking are which 90-hour format fits your schedule, what the full cost comes to including state fees, and how long the process takes end to end.
Ask before you enroll
Not sure which course you need?
Call and ask. It takes two minutes, it costs nothing, and you will be talking to the instructor who teaches the class rather than a salesperson.
