Some agencies will reimburse you for your class if you sign up with that agency.  It depends on your state and the demand for real estate agents.

The seminars can be found on the web - you will have to do the research. You also want to make connectiosn with realtors - and others who will be your primary source of referrals. Another tool you want to look at is the Linked In system. It is great for networking.  If I was looking for any kind of specialist I would look there first.

First you have to become a licensed Realtor. That entails taking a class and passing it. After you pass the test, you take a state board exam. If you pass the board you have to work under a licensed Broker for a certain amount of time. After that, you do the same as above except you do it to become a licensed Broker.\n\nIf you can find a company to sponser you and give you a job when you have completed the Realtor portion, they will usually pay all your expenses for school.\n\nIt is not easy to complete. It is not an easy job either. You have to work week ends, be on call for your clients day & night. Keep up with all the listings, meetings, seminars, etc.\n\nIt is demanding at best. If you have kids, I wouldn't even consider it. The only real difference between a Realtor and a Broker is the Broker makes more money. But it takes a long, long time to build a business as a Broker. Unless, of course, you can get in with someone else that is already established. You can handle closings and money as the Broker. You also have the total responsibility for all the people who license under you. \n\nLong story short, there are no short cuts in the Real Estate business.

You should start by contacting a couple of the larger real estate companies in your area.  Most of the big ones will have training programs and recruitment programs designed to help you succeed after you are done with your licensing classes.  Getting a license and knowing how to be a good agent are two different things.\n\nFinding someone to hire you will be the easy part.  Finding someone to train you for success is the hard part.  Real estate is not easy to get started in, you should plan on keeping a part-time waitressing job or something to keep your bills paid while you get started.  If you don't, be prepared to go 3-6 months before seeing your first paycheck.  Most people don't have that kind of savings sitting around.

I have been in the real estate business in Central Florida for 27 years. I am a broker. I am guessing that you want to join the real estate industry to earn money. I can tell you that getting a real estate license is the easy part. Weaning money in this industry takes lots of training and lots of commitment. I can give you some suggestions about the many facets of the business but I would need to no more about you and your interest. If you need more help, write to Bruce at boatclub@go.com . Tell me more about your long term objectives in real estate.

Classes to prepare for the regional real estate license exams are usually not academic courses.  Some community colleges might offer them, but I've never heard of a real estate major.  I've heard of law students taking real estate law, or business students taking a class related to real estate, but to become a real estate agent, there are non-academic studies (even available online).  The contents for a real estate exam are very simple for most college-level students or above.  The skills necessary to become a real estate agent are sales and more sales.  Real estate agent pay is usually 100% commission.  So if you don't sell, you don't get paid.  I'd recommend to your friend to get her degree since it is already paid for, and take the real estate exam on the side.  In the summers, she may want to try to work for a realtor and see how she likes it.  She could turn out to be a natural at sales and make millions, or she may not like it at all, but she can still fall back on her college education.

Try the Internet and your local library.  You can also ask other real estate developers about what they think about the future of the industry.
