Jobs in real estate for MBA graduates

[Account Closed]

I'm looking to transition from a career in sales to real estate. I have been working in the concrete industry for the past six years. I started out as a sales rep for a concrete producer and I am now working for a chemical company as an area sales manager. The company I work for supplies admixtures to concrete producers. I have a civil engineering degree and an M.B.A., and wondering what the best way to transition into the real estate field would be? I'm not looking to get my real estate license but I'm not opposed to it if that makes the most sense. I'm not sure of what positions I would qualify for. Does anyone have experience with transitioning into real estate from outside the industry?
