Contact your state website for licensing after you take your classes with a local Real Estate Company and pass your Real Estate Exam. You will then send your credentials to the state and apply for your license. Save some money, between classes and licensing you'll probably spend $1500.
To be eligible to become a licensed real estate salesperson or agent, you must: 1.Be at least 18 or 19 years old (depends on the state) 2.Have legal US residency. 3.Complete your required prelicense education (number of hours required depends on the state) 4.Pass your state real estate license examination.
You do not have to be 21, or at least not in some states. I received my real estate license at the age of 19 and have been/and will be working as an assistant until this summer when I will start being a full time real estate agent. Most likely a company will take you in, but keep in mind that selling expensive houses and gaining respect will be harder than you originally imagined, especially if you are just selling as a side job.
While the requirements vary slightly from state to state, but this is the bulk of what you need to do. Graduate High School. You are required to have a diploma or a GED Take a pre-license class from a real estate school accredited by your state. Many brokerages offer the class, and it costs between $200 and $800. The class can usually be completed in two weeks, or spread over a longer period of time. Have a felony free criminal record (though some states real estate commissions will allow you to request a waiver for some acts, such as DUI) Take and pass your state's sales associate test. Good Luck!
