Frederick Community College

What you'll study

Course content covers core real estate principles and practical skills required for entry-level practice in Maryland. Topics included are contract law, property valuation, financing, agency relationships, fair housing regulations, and Maryland‑specific real estate law and practices to prepare you to serve buyers, sellers and investors.

Entry requirements

Maryland requires license applicants to be at least 18 years old and hold a high school diploma or equivalent. For the FCC class, students are expected to attend all 60 hours, be on time for sessions, and sign in and out to receive the official certificate. Successful completion requires a score of 70% or better on the program final exam.

Career prospects

Completing this preparation course makes you eligible to sit for the Maryland Real Estate License Exam; passing that exam enables application for a Maryland real estate salesperson license. Licensed individuals can work as real estate salespersons, property managers, leasing agents or real estate assistants, and may build careers in residential or commercial brokerage, relocation services, or property investment—typically commission‑based and locally focused in Frederick County and the wider Maryland market.
