You go on the california real estate commission site and see if you qualify If it checks good follow their guidelines
You have to get licensed just like everyone else. PMZ hires a lot of unqualified agents out that way. I think they charge a desk fee. They have hundreds of agents, mostly part timers. I hate them because they are clueless, but with the market overly saturated with agents in the valley they may be all that hires you (you pay them to work). Your age is a major disadvantage, very few people will want you to represent them, they normally want agents that are older and more experianced not with just business, but every day life. You don't even own a home yourself, so you will not seen as someone knowledgable.
Make an appointment with a real estate broker or visit the local association of REALTORS. Either one could advise you but the association would be able to direct you to where you need to study. Remember that this is self employment and what you make is 100% commission with no salary. You will cover your own expenses that include the required education, fee to take the State exam, MLS fees, NAR and local board of realtors membership costs. You buy your own gas, business cards after the first set, often you pay E and O insurance and it goes on and on. Once you have your license and work under a brokerage then you will have to split all earnings with that Broker at whatever level you start. It can be 50/50 or it could be more. You want a Broker who will help and train you to list and sell real estate. All the licensing does is give you the right to work and earn a living.
