Obtaining a real estate license in your state, or other states in which you may have interest in doing business is not difficult if you know what to expect and can fulfill the requirements.

The key to having a successful career in the real estate field are simply and easy to follow. #1 Get the necessary education to get your state license. A. An internet class would do just fine you are only trying to get your license. B. If you like to sit through a class then find a real estate school in your local area.
In most states, you must take a certain number (such as 60 hours) of classroom training. You have to pass that training, usually by passing an exam. Then you take the state-sanctioned exam. If you pass that, you qualify for a real estate license. OK: So where's the best place to start? In most cases, larger real estate companies conduct their own training programs. That's what I did. Often, the courses are also taught at community colleges. I'd personally suggest you use a real estate company's program. I'd also very strongly suggest that you do it in as compressed a time period as possible. Depending on your schedule, and what's offered, you may be able to do it as quickly as 14 days. I took a program that was 3 evenings a week and all day Saturday; that took about 2 months. Reason: You'll have a lot of stuff crammed into your head. If you spread it out, you'll forget a lot. More intense works better. The cost typically is a few hundred dollars, mostly for study materials and books. If you have the opportunity to buy an interactive CD with test prep material on it, do so. The one I bought was very helpful. Once you pass the state exam, you then affiliate with a real estate company. It can be the one that taught the class, or any other one that you choose. Most real estate companies have career nights (or similar). Attend one or more in your area to get a better idea of the process. Hope that helps.
Your state regulates the real estate license procedure. In Texas it is called the Texas Real Estate Commission. In most states if you change the word Texas into the name of your state and then look them up on the internet you will find the requirements to get licensed for you. To be successful it requires that you be self driven. You don't have a boss in the normal sense because you just don't get paid until and unless you actually sell something and the sale closes. So you better be able to motivate yourself.
