After you have met the eligibility requirements (typically 90 hours of classes) and passed the examination, you may apply for your real estate salesperson's license. You must submit your application for license to the Missouri Real Estate Commission within six months of the date of your school completion.  Proof of satisfactory completion of BOTH portions of the required examination must be completed within six months prior to the date the application for license is submitted to the Missouri Real Estate Commission. \nContact Missouri Real Estate Commission for more specifics on approved schools to attend, fees, etc. 573-751-2628

I did a real estate class and they said teachers make excellent real estate agents.  Must be that patient hand-holding and explaining!  You could make big bucks doing that, the process to get a real estate license isn't that difficult, you could be licensed by the end of July or so if you get crackin' now.

I was a Realtor for a while.  In order to become a Realtor, you have to take and pass a state test and a national test covering the basics of real estate laws and terminology.  There are many classes for this, offered through Realtor associations and independently.  You will need a broker to back you, so one way to do it is to go to a local brokerage, tell them you're interested in becoming a Realtor, and get information from them about local classes.  \n\nIn the classes, you'll learn what you need to know to pass the test, as well as where to take the test and what to expect.  There are a number of fees involved and you'll need to pay the brokerage for office space, phone services, etc.  So have a several hundred dollars at the ready.  It's going to take a while to get started, clients will not just fall into your lap.  Be sure you have someone else to lean on that first year.  I know someone who made $40K her first year, but that's unrealistic for most starting Realtors.  Get ready to make around $20k the first year after putting in twice the hours you would for any other job.\n\nOnce you become established, it can be a great career and there's plenty of money in it.  It can be fun, and it's fulfilling to help people find the home of their dreams.  And that happens.  Age is not a concern, as long as you are knowledgeable and personable.  That said, older Realtors probably don't have to work as hard to gain a client's trust and respect, as they may seem to have more years of experience even if they don't.\n\nThe key is dedication and long hours combined with a great personality... you're really selling yourself more than you're selling property, as people need to place their faith in you.  I didn't have the passion or the drive, so I switched careers.  But if you really want it, it can be a fantastic career and I have several friends doing quite well for themselves in the industry.  Good luck!  :)

A good Realtor will act as a transaction manager for all aspects of buying or selling a home.  They take listings, create brochures, ask for showing feedback, present offers and help sellers with negotiations, help find a lawyer and inspector, answer questions, give listing reports, work open houses, show homes to buyers and more.\n\nYou can search for classes in your area by typing (your state) Real Estate Classes into yahoo.  That is how I found the pre-licensing class in my area.  Some community colleges also have real estate classes.  You can also call the broker/manager at local offices and ask them about classes.  A number of brokers also teach at their office.\n\nKeep in mind these classes teach you the law and ethics or real estate.  They don't get into much detail about the day to day life of a Realtor or how to find buyers or sellers.  You learn all that on the job.\n\nAfter you pass the class you will have to take an exam in order to get your license.

1.  You will need a REAL ESTATE CONTRACT, suggest a Real Estate Agent might help for a few dollars to write one for you.\n\n2.  You need an AMORTIZATION TABLE, (creating a mortgage) which Excel can help with, look up downloads on MS Excel.\n\nThis can be attached to a "Promisory Note" or you could do it as a "land contract" or "bond for a deed."\n\n3.  You will need Notarized Signatures.  Banks and Lawyers have notaries.\n\n4.  You will need to record the Mortgage at the county Registry of Deeds, along with the promisory note.\n\nGiven how important these papers are, and how difficult things can be if the buyer skips payments, you should have a lawyer check it all over, or just pay to have it written in the first place.

It depends what you want to do. If you want to work as an agent with a multiple listing service you will need a licence. You can also buy foreclosures or power of sales and try to sell them for market value. You can rent property out. You could try to gather some investors and start a real estate investment trust, a REIT. The internet has opened a massive potential for for sale by owner websites. You could do all of these. \n\nBe frugal and take things slow. Learn to understand interest rates. Are rates currently rising or falling? Why?Learn about insurance, taxes, utilities, upgrades, etc. Learn to perform the duties of a home inspector or hire one!\n\nGood luck!

Each state has to have an individual licence to practice and you must have a brokers Licence. Or work under a broker.\n\nFor example agents that work in Lake Tahoe often will have a licence for California & Nevada.\n\nSome state that border one another often will have an reciprocal agreement to make it easier to have both.  As an example Mississppi & Louisiana.\n\nEach state has a department of real estate and they would be the final authority.

I would suggest taking some courses or getting a degree in business.  I would at the least, get your real estate license.  The best thing to do would be to work your way up.  You can ask local property companies about interning with  them, or job shadowing.  Ask if they need a receptionist, or an assistant.  Property management requires knowledge of lots of laws and regulations.  You'll need to gain a lot of experience.  Good luck.

Probably not much, typically a few hundred dollars depending on how you do it. It depends on what state you want to license you. You should start by finding the website for the state department of real estate in your state and read the requirements. \n\nYou will need to get some training, which you can get from junior colleges in many states, or correspondence courses. Once you have this training you will have to take an exam with the state and they will charge you fees for this. If you pass you will likely have to pay some more fees and may be required to get more training within a certain time period. Sometimes I see brokers who will reimburse new agents for their training after they make their first sale.\n\nThen, once you have a license, you can be a licensed real estate agent, or if you join your local board of realtors and pay the monthly dues you can also join the National Association of Realtors and call yourself a realtor. Only members of NAR are called realtors. \n\nYou could also study to become a licensed real estate appraiser, or a loan representative. In some states the loan officers are licensed by a different department of the state government. There are specialized courses and schools for these professions. \n\nThe two links below are to the California Dept. of Real Estate, and an example of a licensing school in California. You should find these for your state. Good luck.

I can help you, I think.  I am a ne agent in AZ myself.\n\nFirst visit the AZ Department of Real Estate's website @ http://www.re.state.az.us/ and click on licensing information.\n\nFirst you will have to take 90 hours of classes at an accredited school. Then take and pass their test.\n\nThen you will have to take and pass the state/national exam given in two parts.\n\nThen you will have to find a broker to hang your license with. Essentially this means that you will have to find a firm to hire you.\n\nLastly comes the fun part.  You will then need to find clients who want to employ you to sell them a home.\n\nGood luck in your new career choice. If you have any other questions drop me a line

In most states you have to be licensed in Real Estate to Manage other people's property.  Getting your Real Estate license is a great way to learn while you are getting some credentials.

In PA you must take two classes.  There are lots of places that offer them.  I took mine through Polley Associates and I know they offer them across the state.\n\nAfter you pass those two classes you must sit for a state exam.  Once you pass the exam you are elegible for your license.  You MUST find a Broker who is willing to let you hang your license with their company however, you can NOT practice on your own as stated by the person above.

Go to your local real estate office and inquire of their classes.  Coldwell Banker or Century21 are good choices for starting your real estate career.

You could go to a traditional school for your real estate school needs, or you could try what I did and do it all online.  Online is a great way to go, you can get through the required material much faster than you would sitting in a class room.  I took classes thru United Educational Services and Allied Schools (both are licensed by the state of CA).  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Allied.  Their materials are much better and they have great customer service if you run into any problems.\nGood luck with your real estate stuff.

First, I don't know of any online pre-licensing course. Please check with your state Real Estate Appraiser Board to make sure that the course qualifies towards your education hours requirement. You can find your appraiser board website through the Appraisal Subcommittee website (below). The state site will have a list of approved courses and schools for PRE-LICENSE or CORE coursework.\n\nIn teaching appraisal, I have found Henry Harrrison's course book the most readable for adult learners. His books can be acquired through his website, Forms and Worms, or through Amazon.com. Dearborn Publications also has a fairly good guide.\n\nGood luck. I usually advise students to start looking for a supervisor for their apprenticeship while they are still in school. It is probably the hardest part of getting into the profession. You can download a list of licensed appraisers from the Appraisal Subcommittee website. Just click on the National Registry tab. Then click on custom reports. Be sure to select your state and select "Active" status for your list. The list is available in Excel, which can be tied to Word's Mail Merge Tool. You can then mail your resume to all available, active appraisers.
