To become a real estate agent how much does having a degree help?
You do not need a degree of any kind to become a real estate agent. I am not against any type degree you would want to get. For a real estate broker some states such as California will allow you to take the real estate broker test as oppose to taking the salesman (Real estate agent) test. If you plan to make selling real estate for a living you would have to have continuing education each year or two in order to maintain your license and keep it current. I would lean more toward getting a degree or at least getting a secondary degree in Sales and Marketing. This type of degree would benefit you as most real estate agents fail because they have little or no experience at marketing themselves To get a license in most states you simply need to complete a real estate school so as to be able to pass the required test administered by the state in which you reside. You should google real estate license (Your state) this will bring up several sites that will tell you the state requirements to obtain a real estate license in your state. Once you know the requirements to obtain a license from your state you may at that time make a decision as to what you want to do about getting your degree and what degree you would want. I hope this has been of some benefit to you,good luck. FIGHT ON
