    Find any school in your area that offer relevant courses. Sit for the exam and get a licence. Join a firm. Work with them. And with some experience you recieve, establish your own company.

    1. Most states will require that you are at least 18 years of age or older at the time of application, a few others do have a minimum age of 21.
    2. You will need to fill out a real estate license application for the state, applications can usually be downloaded from the Real Estate Commission website for you particular state, or the states Department of Licensing. Click on your state in the right sidebar for more information and a link to get your materials.
    3. Most states require between 40 and 50 hours of pre-licensing courses in a state accredited facility. These courses will cost money and must be successfully completed before your license will be issued. There are a select few states that instead require college credit hours in real estate related courses.
    4. You will typically be required to pay fees for application and licensing, these are usually around fifty dollars but can get significantly hire depending on the state.
    5. Most states will not allow you to get your real estate license if you have any felony convictions in the U.S. or abroad within the last ten years.
    6. The majority of states will require you to be assigned to a broker before receiving your real estate license, otherwise your license would be issued on an inactive status.
    7. Some states do require that you complete post-licensing courses within one year after receiving your license. If you do not complete these requirements your license will usually be terminated.
    There you have it, those are the most common requirements for getting your real estate license. As I mentioned above, these requirements will vary depending on your state so please take the time to consult your Real Estate Commission Board for specific requirements.

    Go to a couple Real Estate Brokers in your area, and tell them you are starting to get your license. They should be able to steer you in the right direction.

    It's not that hard, to be honest.

    Ensure that you are a hardworking, patient and self-possessed individual. It is a good idea to have good communication and persuasion skills before you opt for this field of work. You might consider taking up a communication or personality development course to bring your skills up to speed.
    Thanks !!!!

    The very passport you need to become a real estate agent is the license. But the qualities should be appropriate in this field. You should have the PEPSI qualities. An acronym for Physical, Emotional, Psychological, Social and Intellectual. You should be a good communicator, outgoing person and the ability to convince people coz that's the hardest.
    Enroll in any school which offers real estate course. It depends upon your are if there are schools which offers that course. It's a good beginning.
