Usually, those exams are full of what some might call "trick questions." They want you to read very carefully and decide what the issue is being presented. With each question, think "What principle do they want to prove that I know by asking this question?" \n\nYou will have success if you take all the practice tests you can, and find out the reasons for the answers marked incorrectly. You probably already know the material, but need some specific knowledge on how the exam is delivered.

You should start by contacting a couple of the larger real estate companies in your area.  Most of the big ones will have training programs and recruitment programs designed to help you succeed after you are done with your licensing classes.  Getting a license and knowing how to be a good agent are two different things.\n\nFinding someone to hire you will be the easy part.  Finding someone to train you for success is the hard part.  Real estate is not easy to get started in, you should plan on keeping a part-time waitressing job or something to keep your bills paid while you get started.  If you don't, be prepared to go 3-6 months before seeing your first paycheck.  Most people don't have that kind of savings sitting around.

Each state has its own commission that governs realtors.  Usually you can go online to get the application.  You can also submit your transcript showing any college courses you have taken that they might give you credit for.  They will outline what classes you need to take.  You will then have to take a state exam. Most states require that a broker hold your license.

For your exam, I think tips would be helpful to you more than the wishes. Please take care of the following things in mind. \n\n 1. Have good sleep on the day before the examination.\n\n 2. Take a light breakfast on the day of examination\n\n 3. Ensure that u have all the stationaries and hall ticket  before leaving your home to examination\n\n 4. Start for the examination earlier than ususal, to avoid last time panics.\n\n 5. Sit and relax yourself in the exam hall before the commencement of examination.\n\n 6. Make sure that u don't have any papers(which may be considered as illegal in most examinations, except few open book exams) in your pockets or purse in the exam hall.\n\n 7. Get the Question paper and answer script and make sure that both are in good condition and there is no misprints or damages.\n\n 8. If possible, read the question paper completely at first quickly. This will give you an idea about which part u know, which u r not feeling confident.\n\n 9. Start answering from the questions which u know very well. This gives a good impression about u to the person who is correcting the paper. (Remember, u don't have second chance to make the first impression).\n\n 10. Write the answers clear and legible. So, that it is easy to read and make the person, who is correcting the paper, comfortable.\n\n 11. Make sure that u will be able to answer all the questions within the limited time.(This u have to plan earlier itself, based on the question pattern and exam).\n\n 12. Atlast, make sure that u have written all the answer and tied (if applicable) all the answer scripts in the orderly way.\n\n 13. Mostly, try to use the full duration of exam time. Don't leave too soon or hurry till the last moment. Adjust ur time, so that u will be using the full duration of the exam.\n\n 14. If time permits, finally revise the answer scripts.\n\n 15. Give the answer scripts (and QP also if applicable) to the invigilator and leave the hall. \n\n 16. Generally, don't discuss about the answers with your friends after exams are over. ( If u feel that ur answers contradict with your friends,this may affect the next exam preparation. U can always discuss these things, after all the exams are over).\n\n \n  These are just guidelines to how to write an exam from my own experience, which i have been following for  more than 10 years. Hope this may help u. All the best for your exams. \n\n\n  Try not to become a man of success, rather try to become a man of value.

First you must have 4 years experience as a licensed sales agent.

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.

To begin with, most provinces require that property managers require a real estate license specializing in property management if you are dealing with homes that you do not personally own. I also believe that you would have to hold, or work under the umbrella of someone that holds, a real estate broker's license. Most provinces require that you hold a real estate license for at least 2-3 years before you can get your own broker license. Check with the Ontario Real Estate licensing body... any local real estate office could give you the phone numbers for licensing requirements.\n\nNext, you will need to carry Errors and Omissions insurance, which is usually mandatory for all licensees. This will help protect you for eventual costly mistakes. It is usually about $300/yr.\n\nYou would need a contact management software program as well as a property management client program. Also, a separate trust account is likely mandatory.\n\nAnd last, but for sure not least, if you want to make money... lots of money... learn to prospect for clients. The least expensive, most efficient, is where you actually talk to potential clients instead of sending out ads or print advertising... Obviously, I'm refering to finding landlords here, not tenants. Search the old classifieds and ads. Ask all of the Realtors in the area who they know that have tenant occupied properties. Pay special attention to out of town/province landlords. Another source would be vacant properties for sale... and overpriced listings. Maybe they'd rent them out instead of selling. \n\nThis is just the technical start-up... you should also have some business sense, a good accountant, a location, pager/cell phone, etc. Office supplies, including a photocopier are important too. Good luck!

The security exams are pretty hard and can't be passed unless you study. It is like a bar exam but not as hard and it does take a great deal of time. your best bet is to go to your local bookstore and pick up a study guild for it.

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.
