I am currently a sophomore in high school. I am planning on becoming a real estate agent when I graduate. I live in Texas, but really want to move to New York. Do I have to be a residence of New York in order to sell houses there? What classes should I take in high school to be prepared for the real world of selling houses?
either call your state's Department of Business Professionals or ask a broker (who runs a real estate office). Some states have online classes and some don't. Some have classes in their real estate office, and some students get their pre and post courses at the local community college. Taking the online classes for real estate means you don't get the connection you'd need to other students (who you'd be working with later). Sure later on you'd have your own business but you'd still have to work under a broker and still you'd need to contact and negotiate with other agents. Get to know them in class.
Consult your guidance department and your local real estate companies. Be aware that your accent may place you at a distinct disadvantage in New York
Real estate is one of the best investment that any one can make. You have to take proper education in order to become a good real estate agent. This education teach innovative advanced techniques to survive in this very competitive industry. You will find two options for your real estate education. You can take courses online or take classes from traditional school. I think internet can be a great choice when it comes to real estate education. All the Best.
