You have to take a specific course, there are real estate schools that give them and typically the larger real esate firms give them also. After finishing the course you take 2 tests, one on general knowledge and one on info specific to your state. Once you pass those 2 tests (may take a few tries - the tests are pretty hard), you are not licensed. Next you find a broker to work under and sign up to work for/with them. They give you a place to work and review your work, you in turn split your commissions with them (according to a pre-determined split you work out with them). After a few years you can become a broker but this is a pain in the neck - gotta be real serious to go it on your own.
