Hi, im 16 and still in highschool. When I get older I want to be a Real Estate Agent and like flip houses? What college classes should I do so a real estate agency would hire me? Archetecture? Or what?
Most colleges, even at the junior college level, have real estate programs that are specifically for getting a real estate license. Check out the local junior college.
Just look for a nice real estate agent
If flipping houses is your goal then you don't need to be a real estate agent. As a matter of fact being one might actually work again you as they have very strict laws and a code of conduct they must follow. For example, as an agent, you cannot put your personal needs above the clients. If you are trying to sell a house you own you immediately have a conflict of interest because your need to make a profit conflicts with the desire of the client to get the house for the best possible price.
In Texas you have to be 18 and take at least 6 real estate classes. While my daughter was a senior in high school she took real estate classes on the weekend by the time she graduated from high school she had taken all the necessary classes and then when she turned 18 she took her test and now holds a real estate license. She earns extra money for college by working as a Realtor/Asst Property manager at my office, she has now worked in the office for two years. She starts her Jr. year of college this August and she is making real estate her 'career' and has changed her major from nursing to business. Incidentally you do not need to have a license to buy and flip houses.
