Hello everyone! Once again I go to yahoo answers, I feel like i get better answers than searching regular yahoo nowadays. Anyways, im 22 years old, trying to figure out something to do for work. So i came to real estate.I was wondering if anyone could help me with the folllowing:1) where to start? - what classes to sign up for? - which is the most successful route to take?- how long to complete class and be actually working?2) is there anything else I could take in a class that could relate to being a better real estate agent? Like communication skills and such?3) what type of money could an average to better than average real estate agent could make anually?if anyone could help me as i try to continue searching for these answers, I would greatly appreciate it.
The requirements vary state to state, but you should probably be able to meet with a real estate agent or two to see where they recommend you take the classes. I live in Utah, and I know that there are several schools that offer the required classes. The same goes for mortgage brokers. I found the school I took my classes from by asking other mortgage brokers where the best place was. Real estate agents can likely answer your other questions too. In general, I think here in Utah it takes about 2 months, to complete the course. I think once you are a real estate agent and have some experience you can make 50-90k a year on average, but it will take a couple of years to work your way up there, once you get your contacts and learn the best method. I worked closely with a couple of real estate agents. One started just a few years before and made about 30k+ on average a year, but in one month this spring he made 67k. The other, who was the broker for the company, made quite a bit more per year, since he did commercial properties too. i would say he might make 150-200k a year, but he had done it for several more years and had a unique in within his community.
