Introduction
So you want to become a real estate agent? Welcome to the book that’s going to help you become one. Being a real estate agent is an extremely attractive career for many people. If you like looking at houses and other kinds of property and enjoy meeting and working with people, this job may be for you. Add to that having a flexible work schedule, essentially running your own business, and being rewarded for working hard and smart, and you’ve pretty much described a career in real estate sales.
Somewhere along the line, however, you discovered that real estate sales is a licensed occupation. Don’t worry, though; I wrote this book specifically to help you get that license. Ready for the full scoop? Read on, you soon-to-be real estate agent.
About This Book
Every state requires real estate agents to have a license to practice their occupation. Every state, at a minimum, also requires that you take and pass a state examination to get that license. Most states require more than just an exam. After you’ve made up your mind to become a real estate salesperson or broker (brokers’ licenses usually are obtained after you’ve spent time as a salesperson), you need to find out what the procedure is for getting your license in your particular state. Because most states have an educational requirement, I assume that you have to take a course before obtaining your real estate license.
So how does this book fit in with your education? I wrote it specifically with the idea of:
