Thread: Real Estate License

Hi.. If you really want to continue with real estate business then you have to take license before you start your business..

To get license you have to complete a training course for it and then you will have to pass real estate state exam which held state by state. Once you get your license then you have to work as a real estate agent for some time and then you can start your business as a real estate broker...

Often, community colleges offer real estate license courses. In many states, such programs can be completed by taking classes just a few hours per week, for three months or less. This low-level time commitment can be advantageous to an individual seeking a real estate license while working in another field or pursuing other interests.

You can get real estate license in california To get it you will need following information.



>Lists of non-confidential licensee information including name, mailing address, and other license information may be purchased in electronic format on CD only. Complete details regarding data available, price, format, how to order, etc. is provided in the order form entitled L
Please note, licensee list files are not provided in a "label-ready" format. It will be the purchaser's responsibility to import and process the data files using a software product of the purchaser's choice. Department of Real Estate (DRE) staff will not be available to offer assistance in helping the purchaser import nor process the data files.

I would recommend getting your license. However, just because you get your license doesn't mean you know anything about real estate. The best way to get educated and learn the business is to work under someone for a good 6 months to a year who does a lot of transactions.

If the house you plan on buying is listed by a realtor at 6% commission and you had a real estate license and represented yourself then you would get the 3% buyers agent commission. Plus having a real estate license will give you knowledge in what you can or cannot legally do and you will also get a better idea of what people look for in a house. So definitley get a real estate license if you plan on doing any business that is real estate related.

This is the best pick go for it..don't commit yourself too much on this training as the field experience is important than academics.Get a mentor,that will be my suggestion.

If your interest is in Flipping houses until you make the income you project then you do not need a Real Estate License. However, if your interest is or includes working in the Real Estate Industry for Commission, then you must obtain a license. Taking the course and passing the state exam must be done before you can confront finding a good Broker who has a great training and mentor program so you can work towards acquiring success as a licensed Real Estate Agent.

I heard you could get like 1% on transactions or something and getting a license isn't that hard. I wanted to know what I could do with that license (I am a California resident).

I suggest you get as much experience and contacts as you can in your current work right now. If you feel that you have enough experience in dealing with people and more importantly enough contact to sustain your practice, then get your License to make your occupation mainstream.

Getting License is not hard as you think. You just need to ask those people who knows how to get it. In my case i seek to my friend with many experience in this industry.
