See the link below.  Real estate laws vary by state, and some states have mutual recognition with each other.  Others may require you to take a shorter version of the test, and some may require you to take the entire course over in their state.

Contact Amerispec.  They have a full program that will allow you to become a licensed home inspector in less than a month.  Of course, you have to buy a franchise, etc.  But they can help you with that, too.

How to become a mortgage broker is the easy part. I'm guessing you want to sell as a rep for a mortgage brokerage, not actually starting up your own brokerage. That being the case, you don't need any licenses like a realtor or insurance rep, just a great work ethic and an open mind. So actually,  "Anyone" that wants to start as a mortgage broker rep can walk in a brokerage and start selling the same day. There are MANY companies online that will alow you to broker for them and run the 1003 (loan apps) and deals through them. I would suggest getting some experience and training from a brick and morter company before trying this because they don't give you much training or support- you just pay them a flat fee. To be successful, you do need to know the lingo and walk the walk. Also, You can sell in any state that your brokerage is licensed in, so virtually you can sell anywhere in the US. Usually, if you have no industry experience, then a strong sales background is looked for when sales managers interview you. This is a 100% sales position. Be ready to make about 100-120 calls a day and don't look for a paycheck for a few months.  Along with a strong sales background, you need to also become a super networker  amoung your peers. Pick up a book or two about networking- I suggest "Networking with Millionaires" by Dr. Thomas Stanley. This career move takes time to see results,  however over time you can pick up momentum and really become a success. I hope this  helps. On a side note- If you are wanting to invest in real estate I would recomend being a real estate agent for a few years and leting you license run out. This way you get experience in the investing area and when you sell your properties you are released from the disclosure laws and don't have to list your property as "Owner-Agent". \n\n It sounds to me that you may fair better working part time as a realtor and working a day job until you pick up the experience you need for investing. The mortgage brokering is an entirely different bear. I had owned my own mortgage brokerage for several years and then left that to become a realtor. I now own my own investment company.\n\n I would be happy to answer anymore questions you may have in the real estate industry.

WHERE in California are you?  Go to www.MikeRuss.org for locations.  I went to the one in Anaheim, CA to get my Life Agent license, but they also do P&C as well as Real Estate.  Good luck.

To obtain a brokers license in the state of CA you must first obtain a real estate salesperson license and if you have a collage degree in a business relates field you may apply for a brokers license after completing the required continuing education and have your salesperson license for 1 year. If you don't have a business degree you can apply for a brokers license after 3 years as a real estate salesperson with your license in good standing

The requirements vary by state.\nLook for your state's Real Estate Commission online. They can advise you what the requirements are in your state, and list the currently available schools.  These may be community colleges, or privately owned schools. There may be many ways to meet the requirements. Compare carefully.\n\nTexas requires several courses, the last time I checked California required only one class, if I remember correctly.

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

This is tricky and I would recommend co-brokering with a licensed real estate firm. You can get a referral fee.......\n\nThere is a reason why certain professions have licensing requirements and that is to protect both the consumer and the professional. If the deal goes sour, you will have no protection and the customer could refuse to pay your fee at close since ur are not licensed and he may threaten to expose the fact...people will say/do anything to get out of their obligations.\n\nCo-broker the deal with a licensed agent/firm.....just find a teeny-tiny one that will not make a fuss about paying out ur referral fee.

In most states you have to be licensed in Real Estate to Manage other people's property.  Getting your Real Estate license is a great way to learn while you are getting some credentials.

First thing tomorrow morning go to a real estate office and asked to speak with a broker.  If they wanted they could take you under their wing and show the ropes.  By preparing you for the state exam they could mold you into a  successful agent once you've completed your classroom hours and pass the exam.   Best of luck...But remember...it's all about ethics..Seriously...nobody wants to sit in arbitration sessions when they should be out there selling the houses they are being commisioned to sell.

It depends on what state you are in. Go to the Secretary of State website or your official state website -- they often have information on how to start a business and the permits and licenses required. Look up the department that issues permits and licenses and contact them.\n\nMost likely you will need:\n\n- zoning approval (for your signs, etc.)\n- liquors license\n- business name registration\n- fire department permit\n- building and contractors permit\n- public health operating license (as you will serve liquor)\n- sellers permit

I can help you, I think.  I am a ne agent in AZ myself.\n\nFirst visit the AZ Department of Real Estate's website @ http://www.re.state.az.us/ and click on licensing information.\n\nFirst you will have to take 90 hours of classes at an accredited school. Then take and pass their test.\n\nThen you will have to take and pass the state/national exam given in two parts.\n\nThen you will have to find a broker to hang your license with. Essentially this means that you will have to find a firm to hire you.\n\nLastly comes the fun part.  You will then need to find clients who want to employ you to sell them a home.\n\nGood luck in your new career choice. If you have any other questions drop me a line

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.
