Becoming a Real Estate Agent in Michigan

[William Patsalis]

I was wondering about the process of becoming a real estate agent in Michigan. I'm currently a Junior in college but very interested in obtaining a license but not sure if right now is the right time. I know you have to take a class to obtain the license, take a test to certify, and then be with an established real estate agency to start practicing. My questions come after you become part of an agency to start practicing with your license. Do most agencies require a quota/number of clients to let you keep practicing under their name? Can I obtain my license and not actively practice selling houses? Any help would be appreciated!
