Im Looking into getting a real estate lisence and im not sure where to start...and what exactly is the difference between a realtor and a real estate Agent?, does both require a lisence?? and do i have to take college classes for it??
getting your license is most effective 25% of your wrestle. then you definitely have to make a decision whether or not to be a directory agent, a purchaser's agent, or promote business or different houses and then you definitely wish to gain knowledge of the dif among one hundred% places of work and cut up fee places of work. I as soon as jointed the Realtor's assn and observed it a colossal, luxurious comic story. My friends could have another tale there.
Real estate agent is the job description and Realtor is the trademarked professional designation. They are the same thing. You don't have to take college classes, you can take classes online or through any major brokerage. There are a certain amount of hours required that you must fulfill before you can take the licensing exam. Every state is different. Look up the department of real estate or the professional licensing division in your particular state to find the requirements. Since you seem to have only very a basic understanding of real estate, it would be a good idea for you to make an appointment with the sales manager at a local real estate brokerage for some insight into real estate careers.
A real estate agent is one that has a state license to sell real estate in the state in which he/she is licensed. A Realtor is a real estate agent that has joined the local real estate board. Joining the board you would have the license this is a prerequisite to becoming a Realtor. You do not have to take college courses to become a real estate agent. There are one day courses, weekend courses and other real estate schools that will give you the necessary requirements to obtain your license in the state in which you want to become a real estate agent. In order to maintain your real estate license you would need continuing education in various fields in real estate. Your issuing agency would tell you the requirements and when your continuing education would be due. There are some schools that would advertise certain subjects that would be considered continuing education in order to maintain your license. Still your continuing education does not require college courses. This does not preclude you from taking college course to maintain you license, college course are not required. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON
