Recently, there was a similar question from a Mexican living in Israel wanting a Florida license.  He pointed out that he was not allowed to take the licensing exam without a social security number.\n\nAre you a Mexican citizen? US citizen? Green card holder?\n\nI don't know all of it, but check with the Florida real estate commission.  You will probably need at least a work permit, preferably a green card to get a license to practice real estate in the United States.  If no social security card, then at least an IRS tax number.  Your broker will need to give you a 1099 at the end of the year.

I was a Realtor for a while.  In order to become a Realtor, you have to take and pass a state test and a national test covering the basics of real estate laws and terminology.  There are many classes for this, offered through Realtor associations and independently.  You will need a broker to back you, so one way to do it is to go to a local brokerage, tell them you're interested in becoming a Realtor, and get information from them about local classes.  \n\nIn the classes, you'll learn what you need to know to pass the test, as well as where to take the test and what to expect.  There are a number of fees involved and you'll need to pay the brokerage for office space, phone services, etc.  So have a several hundred dollars at the ready.  It's going to take a while to get started, clients will not just fall into your lap.  Be sure you have someone else to lean on that first year.  I know someone who made $40K her first year, but that's unrealistic for most starting Realtors.  Get ready to make around $20k the first year after putting in twice the hours you would for any other job.\n\nOnce you become established, it can be a great career and there's plenty of money in it.  It can be fun, and it's fulfilling to help people find the home of their dreams.  And that happens.  Age is not a concern, as long as you are knowledgeable and personable.  That said, older Realtors probably don't have to work as hard to gain a client's trust and respect, as they may seem to have more years of experience even if they don't.\n\nThe key is dedication and long hours combined with a great personality... you're really selling yourself more than you're selling property, as people need to place their faith in you.  I didn't have the passion or the drive, so I switched careers.  But if you really want it, it can be a fantastic career and I have several friends doing quite well for themselves in the industry.  Good luck!  :)

Check out www.floridabarexam.org\n\nTo sit for the FL bar exam, it looks to me like you have to graduate from an ABA-accredited law school in the US unless you have practiced law for 10 years in another state and can file a "representative compilation of work product." (Rule 4-13.4(a))

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!

You most definitely need your real estate license to get into commercial leasing.  Apartment leasing consultants don't need licenses if they're only working on one property. Find the best real estate school in your area and get your license. Then you'll have to take the state test (which is not as scary you would think). Then you may have to be an assistant to an established broker in town to get your foot in the door.  You can get your commercial experience that way and then gain more independence.

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.

you should try rent.com or the site that Yahoo! has for real estate.  Just type in rental homes, Florida on the Yahoo! homepage and the Yahoo real estate link will come up.  It's a good source of information.  A nice starting place if nothing else.

It is best to call them and ask for Florida's requirements regarding licenses. It is better to get the information straight from the authorities to avoid confusion and mistakes during your business startup process. Here are websites to go to:\n\nhttp://www.dos.state.fl.us/startbus/\nhttp://taxonomy.myflorida.com/Taxonomy/Business/Starting%20a%20Business%20in%20Florida

There is an office at the state board of education that deals with teacher certifications.  You can find them easily by searching on the Internet - like "Florida department of education" in the search window, or something like that.   \n\nIf your degree is in teaching you should have no problem... there will be numerous hoops to jump thru, but none will be too hard (fingerprints, transcripts, experience...)  it may seem complicated, but just get the check in the box and you'll be good. \n\nIt is better to deal with the state office vice the county office... the state guys know the rules and will give you the straight skinny the first time.  At the county, who knows...\n\nGood luck and welcome to the profession. \n\nCheers!
