Becoming a RE Agent..

[Steven Nguyen]

Hello, I’m looking into changing my career path and becoming a RE agent. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this and what steps I need to take to become an agent?

What state are you in?  Go to the state WEBsite for the REA (real estate agency) and they give requirements.

Usually (in order):

1) Need class hours from state-certified instructor

2) Need to pass the test

3) If first time, you'll be considered a junior and need to do some time-served under a Principal/Managing Broker (again read the REA requirements)

4) After your time served, you can apply to get a Principal Broker (whatever your state calls them), get it and hang out your license as a sole practioner.
