To add to the state requirements your state would impose, sales experience helps.  Also, talk to people who have purchased a house.  Find out what was good about an agent they used, and what they would have liked their agent to do, but he/she didn't.  Also, a knowledge about the market you wish to work in is invaluable.  Start paying attention to what your market is doing before you get involved so you can jump right in, and not spend the first few months trying to figure out what to do.

I don't think any college experience is necessary to get in real estate.  \n\nAll you need is the drive and PR skills to sell the crappiest dumps for the highest price possible... and/or have the capital to buy the nicest places at the lowest price and the savvy to resell them even higher.\n\nIt's a very competitive environment, better be ready to fight your way through

real estate agent.  easy to enter the business, you just need to get the RE license, flexible working hours.  the only problem is you'll get pay only when you make a deal, but if you can make a deal the commission can be as much as a several thousand dollars.

Becoming a realtor doesn't require any degrees, though they might help you land a job.\n\nWhat you need to take is the real-estate exam (which you can study at home for). Once you take that, you get your real estate degree, then you look for a realtor company that will take you under their wings.\n\nIm sure having a degree would help you land that job, and would increase the amount of money you make.\n\nPeople skills matter too.

First you must have 4 years experience as a licensed sales agent.   The DRE (dept. of real estate) will allow a college degree in place of the experience or an associate’s degree as substitute for 2 of the years of experience.  There is also a list of required classes (listed below).  After completion of these requirements you can apply to the DRE to take the brokers exam.  The exam is taken in two sessions one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  Each session is 2hr 30min long and consists of 100 multiple choice questions.  The minimum passing grade is 75% accumulative from both sessions.   After passing the exam you must then apply to the DRE for the issuance of the license. \n• Real Estate Practice\n•Legal Aspects of Real Estate\n•Real Estate Finance\n•Real Estate Appraisal\n•Real Estate Economics or Accounting\n•And three* courses from the following group:\n  \noReal Estate Principles\noBusiness Law\noProperty Management\noEscrows\noReal Estate Office Administration\noMortgage Loan Brokering and Lending\noAdvanced Legal Aspects of Real Estate\noAdvanced Real Estate Finance\noAdvanced Real Estate Appraisal\noComputer Applications in Real Estate \noCommon Interest Developments

Entry into the real estate profession takes preparation. As with other professions, licensing is required. Licensing requirements vary across the nation but all states require prospective salespeople and brokers to pass written examinations. Questions generally cover the fundamentals of real estate transactions and laws affecting the sale and rental of real estate.\n\nIn Rhode Island, it is required to take 45 hours of pre-licensing education courses before applying to take the exam. Pre-license courses are intended to provide the first step towards professionalism in real estate. These courses are an investment that will give participants a lifetime return.\n\nThe Rhode Island Association of REALTORS has the state’s largest real estate school and offers a 45-hour course designed to successfully prepare an individual to take the Rhode Island Real Estate Salesperson’s examination. Course is offered from 6 pm - 9 pm evenings and from 9 am - noon mornings. Course meets for 15 sessions. Classes are scheduled on a monthly basis. All instructors are professionals in real estate and/or law.\n\nTake a look at the official site of the Rhode Island Board of Realtors for more info: http://www.riliving.com/Careers/default.asp

Generally, you will need to hold a real estate license to transact real estate.  The most common loophole is if you are the owner or in the employ of the owner.  This will vary slightly state to state according to their real estate laws.\n\nTypically though, you are able to show units for sale or lease, but would be restricted when it comes to actions considered real estate brokerage.  For instance, you would be able to show a property for sale or lease, but not discuss contracts, negotiations or prices that the owner would consider.\n\nBasically, without a license or not in the employ of the owner, you would be restricted to responding to only certain questions and with specific answers.\n\nIt should be mentioned that some states will allow you to act in the capacity of a real estate agent if you are between licenses or are to be licensed soon.  You will not be able to be paid though until you are licensed.

Start by checking out the Realtor.com website for info. It is costly to get started and the pay is a lot less then you might think.

Typically you would just disclose that you are a licensed real estate agent acting for your own account, and plainly state that information in the offer.  However, you should check with your state's real estate commission for any specific requirements.

I am not sure what you are asking. Do you own property or want to sell property for other people?  I am going to assume that you want to be a Real Estate Sales Representive.  You have to be licensed in the state in which you plan to practice. Each state has it owns laws as to what classes and how many credits you have to take. You will have to pass a state exam. You will have to be sponsored by a Broker and work for a Broker.\n\nThe place to start is to look in your local newspaper on a Sunday and look at the Real Estate ads. Most companies are on the internet these days so you will want to look at both the newspaper ads and the internet website for a number of different companies in your area.  Which one do you like the sound and look of the best?  Which companies are the largest in your area?  Which have the best reputation?  Research all of this first. Then pick a few and call for an interview.  \n\nA job with a Real Estate firm is not like other jobs. You are not an employee. You are a subcontractor and you are paid a commission.  Some places you will have to pay all of your own advertising cost.  So make your decission carefully.  When you decide which company you want to go with, talk to the Sales Manager and see what you have to do to get licensed.  Wherever you go it is going to cost you quite a bit of money upfront before you start.  And you will need some money to live on for the first few months.

You do have to be a citizen of the US and a legal resident of the state in which you are living.\n\nReal Estate is a state regulated industry. Meaning, each individual state has its own different requirements for real estate agents.\n\nThe source below is specific to Texas.

A good Realtor will act as a transaction manager for all aspects of buying or selling a home.  They take listings, create brochures, ask for showing feedback, present offers and help sellers with negotiations, help find a lawyer and inspector, answer questions, give listing reports, work open houses, show homes to buyers and more.\n\nYou can search for classes in your area by typing (your state) Real Estate Classes into yahoo.  That is how I found the pre-licensing class in my area.  Some community colleges also have real estate classes.  You can also call the broker/manager at local offices and ask them about classes.  A number of brokers also teach at their office.\n\nKeep in mind these classes teach you the law and ethics or real estate.  They don't get into much detail about the day to day life of a Realtor or how to find buyers or sellers.  You learn all that on the job.\n\nAfter you pass the class you will have to take an exam in order to get your license.

I don't have real estate background.\n\nI change career and am now into MLM. If you are changing career, I encourage you to explore it too as an option. \n\nA website I recommend is www.network-marketing-works.com.

First of all you have to have to be a licensed real estate salesperson in your state. Then when you hang your license with your broker they will tell you if and which Board of Realtors® to join. You will be charged annual dues and be required to take Code of Ethics classes.

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.
