Furthermore, Can I be a real estate agent and work for an insurance company at the same time, and what are the stipulations thereto??
All states are different but google your state real estate commission. There you will find what's required. Good luck
Each state/province has their own rules regarding real estate licenses. Where I live for example, you have to take a course and pass all the tests, then take the licensing exam, then take a whole week of post licensing classes and then a brokerage signs for your license and then you start working. And of course every 2 years we have mandatory courses we have to take in order to keep our license. Again, each place is different. And real estate doesn't have to be your full time job (unless your brokerage requires you to). You can do other jobs. But most clients I deal with will NOT work with part time realtors because it means they're not as accessible or concentrated on their clients. Also, there are monthly fees involved with being a realtor, so do you think you can make enough working both jobs to cover those fees?
The first thing is learn how to lie.
