It really depends on what type of real estate you want to appraise.  You can do residential or commercial.  Generally its easier to become a residential appraiser.  Residential appraisals GENERALLY range from $200-$500 per job and take anywhere from a day to several days to complete.  Commerical appraisals GENERALLY range from $500-$50,000+ and take several days to several weeks.  There are state licensing requirements that vary from state to state so you should check with your local department of licensing to get the facts.  The Appraisal Institute is a great source for infomation on the industry, classes, requirements, etc.  Good luck!

Appraisal fees are mostly based on the property and the property type. Around in Southern California, the fees are from 300-450 dollars for basic apprasials (Single family homes under a million).\n\nThey need to be licensed. Once licensed, they can work for themselves, banks or other companies.\n\nThere's something called a Broker's price opinion. They are not as detailed as an appraisal, but they run 100-150 bucks each (around here). Basically a broker runs comps of the property and makes a physical inspection of the property and gives his opinion on how much he/she thinks the property is worth.\n\nYour best bet is to have a real estate agent run the comps for the properties you like and have your purchase agreement be subject to the property appraising at x amount of dollars.

I worked in architecture and engineering as a graphics specialist and project manager for almost 10 years before switching full time to being a Realtor.  We also have to engineers in our office that work part time as real estate agents.  One of them, a structural engineer, quit his job this year as he made over 100k as a real estate agent.  Considering this was one of the worst years in 10 in the Denver market.  That's pretty good.\n\nIf you want to be an Architect, I assume it's not about the money.  It will be a long hard haul until your making good money as an architect.  \n\nI would highly recommend taking an online course to get your real estate licence.  I completed all the required course work online in about 5 days.  The costs for the class, my license, insurance and my Realtor dues amounted to about $1500 for my first year.   There are lots of small brokers/companies that would be more than happy to have you and there is potential for a lot of money even without going full time.  Look for one with a niche that will make it easier for you to compete as a young broker.  \n   You would most likely be on a commission split between 50% and 70% on each deal depending on how you get your leads. You should look for a place that doesn't charge any desk fees.  My last year part time with my architecture job I made almost 35k spending less than an hour a day following up with clients and leads as a Realtor.\n\nBottom line,  I highly recommend it.  The return on your investment into being a Realtor will make you a better architect by having a better understanding of the value that your buildings will bring to your clients.  And of course, you can make a lot more money than as an architect if you apply yourself.   You can also be both without any real problems but you will  have to learn to manage your time well as you will be getting calls on a regular basis.\n\nGood luck

Type in Realtors liscense instead of being here. Go to a realtors office and ask them. They offer all kinds of classes.

All real estate appraisers spend a specified amoutn of hours as an apprentice.  I recommend you call a few local real estate appraisers and inquire with them.  A good appraiser to work under is your ticket to success.

I would suggest taking some courses or getting a degree in business.  I would at the least, get your real estate license.  The best thing to do would be to work your way up.  You can ask local property companies about interning with  them, or job shadowing.  Ask if they need a receptionist, or an assistant.  Property management requires knowledge of lots of laws and regulations.  You'll need to gain a lot of experience.  Good luck.

First, I don't know of any online pre-licensing course. Please check with your state Real Estate Appraiser Board to make sure that the course qualifies towards your education hours requirement. You can find your appraiser board website through the Appraisal Subcommittee website (below). The state site will have a list of approved courses and schools for PRE-LICENSE or CORE coursework.\n\nIn teaching appraisal, I have found Henry Harrrison's course book the most readable for adult learners. His books can be acquired through his website, Forms and Worms, or through Amazon.com. Dearborn Publications also has a fairly good guide.\n\nGood luck. I usually advise students to start looking for a supervisor for their apprenticeship while they are still in school. It is probably the hardest part of getting into the profession. You can download a list of licensed appraisers from the Appraisal Subcommittee website. Just click on the National Registry tab. Then click on custom reports. Be sure to select your state and select "Active" status for your list. The list is available in Excel, which can be tied to Word's Mail Merge Tool. You can then mail your resume to all available, active appraisers.

Probably not much, typically a few hundred dollars depending on how you do it. It depends on what state you want to license you. You should start by finding the website for the state department of real estate in your state and read the requirements. \n\nYou will need to get some training, which you can get from junior colleges in many states, or correspondence courses. Once you have this training you will have to take an exam with the state and they will charge you fees for this. If you pass you will likely have to pay some more fees and may be required to get more training within a certain time period. Sometimes I see brokers who will reimburse new agents for their training after they make their first sale.\n\nThen, once you have a license, you can be a licensed real estate agent, or if you join your local board of realtors and pay the monthly dues you can also join the National Association of Realtors and call yourself a realtor. Only members of NAR are called realtors. \n\nYou could also study to become a licensed real estate appraiser, or a loan representative. In some states the loan officers are licensed by a different department of the state government. There are specialized courses and schools for these professions. \n\nThe two links below are to the California Dept. of Real Estate, and an example of a licensing school in California. You should find these for your state. Good luck.

What is your goal?\n\nGeneral learning = a local community college.  \n\nBecoming a realtor = real estate school classes (offered through real estate brokerages like Century 21).  \n\nBeing an investor = attend foreclosure sales, ask questions, buy books (avoid expensive classes).\n\nEmail with any questions.  Best wishes,\n\nJared

Check out the Real Estate companies like Remax and Century 21.  They have real estate courses that teach you all you need to know to be an agent..  \n\nAlso, look into your community education, they have basic real estate courses cheap.

Sunny is correct in telling you that you need only get your RE license to start selling.  However, what Sunny failed to mention is that these companies (at least the successful ones) will want you to have at least bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Accounting or Economics.  Most of them will want you to have your real estate brokers’ license as well.\nAlso, please don’t be fooled by Sunny’s flippant comments about just taking the classes and getting started.  I’m not saying you can’t do well at it, I’m saying it takes a lot of VERY HARD WORK to make your self successful at it.  I know several commercial brokers, and a few successful ones, and the ones that are successful don’t half ass it, they work 60-70 hrs a week.  The payoff for these few is Huge, I’m talking high six and sometimes seven figure incomes but you have to want it, and you have to work for it!\nI hope I have given you a little bit better insight into the world of commercial real estate.  \nI truly wish you the best!

Relatively little.  Technically anyone can be a real estate agent.\n\nClasses are usualy random times, but for me it was 3 weeks of 10 hour classes Monday / Wednesday/ Friday\n\nYou dont have to take the classes at a major university, there are plenty of oddball colleges around that only teach real estate.\n\nFor the government test its only required that you take the set amount of hours.....anywhere.\n\nIf you are relatively good with logic and law, the tests are fairly easy.\n\nHowever, there are costs involved.  You need access to MLS system which is about $1600 per year.  There are also numerous license fees per year and some companies (Realty One, Howard Hanna) that MAKE you sign up with some local boards which dont really do anything for you.\n\nOther than that, you need a sponsor b4 taking the test.   Sponsor is the company you want to work for.\n\nYou must be a real estate agent for 5 years b4 you can become a broker and do your own work.  Trick is that brokers cant sell/buy directly, they need to employ agents.\n\nReal estate market is good for women with big tits (dont mean to be sexist but those are the ppl that make the most money) and you need to be able to talk your ass off.\n\nWhen i was with Realty One, one of the girls that "graduated" school with me was a 27 yr old mom with 2 kids, that used to be a teacher but thought real estate money was better.   After busting her ass off for a full year (worked 7 days a week, had to hire a baby sitter, was gone practicaly from 9am to 9pm) only made 39,000 that year.\n\nOn the other hand, other women (women dominate this proffession btw) in the office were pulling in over 80,000 no problem but they were in the business for more than 20 years and have established contacts that allowed them to have access to REALLY expensive houses and thats where the money is.\n\nYou will be working 70-80 hours a week to get decent money with average priced houses.   Ppl that own the expensive houses only go to realtors about which they hear from friends, and you need to be around for a LONG time for some of those ppl to hear about you.

I did a real estate class and they said teachers make excellent real estate agents.  Must be that patient hand-holding and explaining!  You could make big bucks doing that, the process to get a real estate license isn't that difficult, you could be licensed by the end of July or so if you get crackin' now.
