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.

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.

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.

Be ready to put in lots of hours and a good measure of creativity it you want this to be your primary source of income. Most people think real estate is an easy way to earn a living, however the average real estate agent in the United States sells 1.4 houses a year! That means that if you want to be successful, you have to be adding services, time, and creativity above the norm! Learn great people skills and fabulous marketing and sales skills. They are key to being successful in this field.\n\nThe great news is that you get to be your own boss and create your own future . . .

All you have to do is pass the Real Estate exam.  Take a class with your local realtor and they will prep you for it, for a fee.  Good luck!!

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.

"Be Wise And Advertise". \nVisit local real estate offices and meet with the agents and their manager. Ask them for business, and when they call you follow up with them the status of their request. It's all about service and delivering a great results. This will grow your business fast. Also go to trade shows in your area, pass out your business card with additional information.

I agree that you will have to work at least part time for the first year in Real estate. You will most likely not make any commission for 3-6 months as first you need to get a listing, then you need to wait for it to sell and you will not get paid until after the closing. Depending what agency you work for you may have to pay a desk fee. You will most likely have to pay for your Multiple listing services. If you want to be a Realtor, you will need to pay dues. and again, depending on the agency, you may have to pay for part of your advertising. always find out your commission scale  and upfront and monthly fees before accepting a position with an agency. good luck.

Your own career is only what you make it out to be. Yes, real estate can be a worthy investment of time. Sometimes it's not how hard you work though, it's how efficiently you can get the job done. Are you a likable person? Many times real estate mentors will tell you to count on your friends and family first (They call it your sphere of influence). Can you see them putting enough money in your pocket to support you financially? If not, concentrate on other angles, are you part of any social groups? Would you be willing to hold open houses for other agents? Sometimes starting out in the real estate business is very difficult, if you don't do it the right way from the beginning. I would strongly recommend going with a larger brokerage, since many of the agents there are so busy to work their own open houses, and they would need someone like you to do them. This gives you the opportunity, at no expense, to meet interested buyers! From there, establish those relationships, and maybe those buyers are also sellers, and just like that, you've got their listing, AND you're helping them find their new home too (Even if it wasn't the one you met them at!). Also, with a larger brokerage, you may not have desk fees, and some of them even offer continuing education.\n\nIt is what you make it out to be!

Go to all of the different agencies in your area and talk to the broker and see if you like what he/she has to offer, then decide after you interview all of them. Some also offer a mentor program which someone in the office will help you out with all of needs.\n\nBest way is by word of mouth, if you are not shy; approach everyone you meet starting with all your friends, neighbors, etc.. Give out your business cards as if you were handing out candy.\n\nWhich ever agency you end up working for should do some advertising in a local newpaper; usually they include a picture of all thier agents with their cell number.\n\nNetwork, Network, Find as many people you know that do the same type of work like a Mortgage Company ( lender ) me!!\nSomeone that you trust in your area and you can help each other out.  It worked for me.\n\nGood Luck!

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.

Find an agent to use as a buyers agent. Then you only need to cultivate a relationship with 1 realtor. \n\nI had a similar experience with a realtor I disliked. It made me cringe to know that she was getting my commision.

It really depends on how well you know your market.  Do you have contacts in the industry (banker, movers, other realtors, teachers, etc.)  Getting your license can be the easiest part ...

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.

Your license needs to be held by a brokerage in order to list properties. You need to get hired by a real estate agency.
