I am thinking about becoming a real estate broker is it very hard to become one ?
Depends on the state you live in. But be warned. In very many places, the RE market is in the toilet, and you'll have a hard time making money. Investigate before jumping in.
no, but competition is fierce you would be on commission only basis. Classes are easy to find and pretty cheap to get certified. This also makes a surplus of agents... But you would not get hired by a co, so much as you would pay them part of your commissions to be part of the windemere, Century 21 etc family
A real estate broker or real estate agent is a person who acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers of real estate/real property and attempts to find sellers who wish to sell and buyers who wish to buy. zoobia
You first have to become a licensed real estate agent, and then, depending on each state, wait a period of two, three and/or more years. It is not hard to become an agent, and it is not hard to become a broker, once you have learned the business. The tests are pretty much basic and can easily be taught to someone with average intelligence. The key to success in real estate, is you have to work hard at it and never become frustrated. It takes time and many that enter the industry drop out or never really do much. Ten percent of the agents and less than that for the brokers, ever really achieve the success that they envisioned.
