What are the requirements for getting a real estates license?

As far as education goes…also, if you have experience in this area, please explain how to go about obtaining your license.

Thanx

Depends on the state. One tip I can provide you for any state is that you should look into who is hiring and who you want to work for ahead of time. They will usually have a real estate licensing school of their own. If you sign up with them, they pay for post exam costs such as the fingerprinting, application fee, etc.

    Each state is different. Look up Dept. of business & regulation for your state & they should have links to info. in FL, it’s myfloridalicense.com

    There are two tests you’ll have to take. One is for everybody in every state, and the other is for your state only. You have to pass both of these tests.

    A general business education would be helpful, but you don’t need a degree or any other specific type of training before you start real estate school.

    You can go to a community college for real estate classes, but many real estate companies with sponsor you for classes then you work for that agent — i.e. he holds your license for you. There usually isn’t any kind of time requirement, so even if they paid for you tuition at real estate school, you’re not obligated to continue to work there.

    Start out by calling the big brokers in your area. They are your best resource for this.

    Each state is different. Look up your local college and/or local real estate school(s). They can tell you specifically what is required to get your license as well as continuing education courses to keep your license, what fees are required, etc.
