I am 20 years old, instead of attending college straight after high school i decided to work. I've had enough of the Law Firm job (not that I don't like it) I just think its time for me to become something other than a secretary. I've been thinking about Real Estate for awhile but I don't really know much about it..I was wondering if anyone had any insight. I would really appreciate details..and which schools you attending to help me reach my goal as a Real Estate agent. Thank you. It would help if you were from Chicago, Illinois :) Thanks again!
Either one will paintings for fulfilling academic standards. So the query is, what are your pursuits? If numbers make your head spin, keep away from finance. If you do not just like the nuts and bolts main points of growth, keep approach from that. You would cross into industry management and nonetheless get a agents license. But truly property comparable publications will support you extra.
Technically you don't need a college degree to be a real estate agent. Some general business knowledge and an entrepreneurial spirit will get you started. You must take a course with an accredited institution, pass the course, AND pass the state licensing examination to apply to be a licensed real estate agent in your state. Different states have different rules. Look up Illinois Real Estate Courses and Licensing on google, yahoo, etc and see what comes up. I took a real estate course completely online for the state of Virginia and got my license within 6 or 7 months. I'm not doing anything with it yet... but I intend to in the next few years.
