How do I get my Real estate agent license?

[Alex Marquez]

I need to get my real estate agent license so I can learn some more about real estate investing, and so I can save up money to purchase my first deal. Does anyone know any legit websites to get my real estate agent license? I found one called Allied but the guy on the phone seemed very desperate to sell me the program when I told him to give me time to do a little research. My last question is, is a real estate broker the same thing as a real estate salesperson? If not which one should I get my license for?

Before you begin to spend your time and energy on getting a license. I think you need to first ask yourself why? Becoming a real estate agent and going through the courses will teach you some things about real estate but nothing about real estate investing. To learn about real estate investing you need to spend time learning from other investors and there are plenty of those people here. 

A real estate broker is above a salesperson. A salesperson works for a real estate broker. A broker can start a brokerage and a salesperson cannot. You can only get your salesperson license right now. Then once you have had your sales license for two years you can get your brokers license.
