Look up the licensing requirements on your state department of licensing.  Your question is too vague but you can find the requirements for RE licensing on the state site.

If you did not sign a representation agreement that states specific time frames.  All you have to do is tell the Realtor you are going to work with someone else.  If you have a signed Real Estate Contract, the Realtor will be due the commission regardless.  \n\nI suggest speaking first to the Realtor's Broker or Manager and asking them to take over the day to day dealings.

If the contract allows you to fire the agent/brokerage and you can prove you did so before the sale of the property, you shouldn't be responsible for the commision.  If the contract outlines what the brokerage/agent will do and you can prove they didn't keep their end of the bargain you may be entitled to be released from the listing contract.  Pursue arbitration with the local Board of Realtors.

I am not an agent but I play one on TV (Joking).\n\nI have delt with many agents in selling and buying real-estate.  It is a 24 hour job, and very demanding.  Don't ever expect to have any kind of free time on your hands if you do this type of work.\n\nThe are responsible for smooth transactions in buying and selling real-estate.  They will list your property, give you an estimate of what is is worth, and advise you of what you need to do to make it more marketable.\n\nUsually there will be an open-house so that other brokers from other agencies will see it for themselves.\n\nThere are different kinds of brokers...some represent the seller, and others the buyers.\n\nWhen I purchased a home there was the seller's agent, and my agent put together the deal.  When it was time to sell the house, we used the agent that represented the house when we bought it because she did such good work.\n\nUsually your clients will be from word of mouth.  They make a commission of the value of the home being sold.  Usually there is a 6% fee, with the agents involved with the transaction.  3% each.  From that the agent gets a percentage based upon the years they have with the brokerage firm they represent.\n\nSo a home selling for $250,000 = 6% 15,000\n 3% = 7,500\n 1.5 % = $3750.

A Realtor is a real estate agent who has met certain requirements and meets certain standards set forth by the National Association of Realtors.  The word "Realtor" is a trademark and can ONLY be used to describe members of that organization.  It is possible to be a real estate agent, or broker, and NOT be a Realtor.

they are entitled to a commission on the house they showed you. It's called a procuring clause. A Realtor becomes your Realtor when she/he sells you a house or when both of you sign a buyer-broker agreement.

Great question, I believe it boils down to experience and results.\n\nMixed in is ethics and looking out for the clients best interest.\n\nI also beleive agents/Brokers are broken down to two camps. One at listing and one at representing buyers.\n\nIf your listing your property, you want an agent that is able and experienced enough to obtain the highest value in the open market.\n\nYou want an agent to be honest with you and tell you the truth vs some fantasy.\n\nWhat are the agents marketing skills?, do they use the internet?, do they have a digital camera? Look at ther personal website.\n\nAsk for a copy of actual sales on an annual basis. More the better.\n\nA good agent will sell 3-4 a month vs 6 in a year.\n\nAs a buyer's agent, similiar questions. How many buyers did you represent in the past year?\n\nPlease supply references and call the reference's of what they liked or disliked.\n\nInterview mutiple agents/brokers.\n\nIn addition the longer tenure in the business. What professional designation has the agent obtained? CRS is good.\n\nLook at http://www.Realtor.com http://www.Yahoo.com under real estate and in Yahoo look at the agents presence. This will speaks volumes.\n\nI'm not impressed by companies but by the individal experience of the agent.\n\nThey say 95% of real estate is sold by 5% of agents.

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.

You SHOULD hire a real estate sales professional to work for you as a Buyer's agent.  The agent can provide market data info for you to make an educated decision on a price to offer.  Much more importantly, have you considered the contingencies that might be necessary with your offer?  Will you want to hire a professional home inspector, termite inspection, radon gas test, and water & septic test?  Will you require getting possession of the home at the time of closing?  Is your offer going to be contingent upon mortgage financing?  In my area, a standard sales agreement for buying/selling residential real estate is about 22 pages long.  In my state, sellers are required to provide a buyer with a 6-page Seller's Property Disclosure Statement, whether sold by owner or through a real estate broker.  So, the best way to go about putting an offer in on a home is by first hiring a real estate professional to work for you.  \nPS- avoid attorneys for this task.  Although they consider themselves qualified, many are more like jacks-of-all-trades and not up to date on current requirements.

I am not a real estate agent, but I would suggest contacting a local office and asking if you could have a sit down with one of the agents.  Perhaps take them to lunch; I bet they would be more than willing to talk to you.

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.
