I dont know what ACC is, so I will work on the assumption it is a Community College.\nI enclosed a link for you to get your license online but there are many others.\nIf this doesn't work for you, try calling your preferred real estate company (someone you want to work for) and ask them. In my state, the agencies all offer classes; days, nights and some weekends, too.\nHTH

I've worked with truck brokers, and I didn't know they had to have a license.  (Are you talking about brokering trips on trucks?  If you're talking about an auto dealer's license, you'll find that on your state-sponsored website under their department of commerce section.)\n\nThe biggest bearier to entry for these guys was contact with all the companies they needed to broker services with, a good managment system to keep track of logistics, and then a working relationship with the local manufacturers and wholesalers.

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.

Which in most states is 40-90 hours in a class room and two exams a background check, credit check,\nafter your licescens you need a Realtor broker to work under, then you just go to the local realtor asso pay so dues (about 400) take a all day morals class and a computer class on how to use the MLS system then a 50 fee to get your MLS key. \nexpect to drop about 2,000 getting you license and set up to become a realtor/real estate agent\nfirst closing will pay you back\nLook into joining Keller Williams!

First, take the Florida Real estate courses required by the state. Then take the Florida Real Estate Exam. FLorida does not have recip deals with other states. PS...you have to pass the exam to become an agent. You have to work with an established broker to hang your license. Otherwise, you license will be held hostage by the state of Flordia. A better question would be, why Florida?

Hi,\n\nEvery state will have different education and test requirements.  You will need to look online for each state's Dept. of Real Estate.  That will tell you what you will need to do.\n\nI used the Anthony Schools online real estate education courses.  You can check to see if they have one in your state.  Otherwise, some real estate agancies will allow you to take classes through their firm and then reimburse your fees after your first transaction.  You will need to call around to find out.\n\nMost states will have education requirements to include along with your state exam.  However, you may be able to use some of your college courses as substitutes (ie.  I had a business degree and was able to transfer some).  Check with them.\n\nYes, you can do real estate part time, depending on the firm.\n\nIf you still want to know some pros and cons about the real estate industry, read this real life job experience from a Realtor in CA:\n\nhttp://www.jobpodge.com/jobTestimonial.php?jobIndex=44&_real_estate_agent\n\nGood luck!

I am not sure what you are asking. Do you own property or want to sell property for other people?  I am going to assume that you want to be a Real Estate Sales Representive.  You have to be licensed in the state in which you plan to practice. Each state has it owns laws as to what classes and how many credits you have to take. You will have to pass a state exam. You will have to be sponsored by a Broker and work for a Broker.\n\nThe place to start is to look in your local newspaper on a Sunday and look at the Real Estate ads. Most companies are on the internet these days so you will want to look at both the newspaper ads and the internet website for a number of different companies in your area.  Which one do you like the sound and look of the best?  Which companies are the largest in your area?  Which have the best reputation?  Research all of this first. Then pick a few and call for an interview.  \n\nA job with a Real Estate firm is not like other jobs. You are not an employee. You are a subcontractor and you are paid a commission.  Some places you will have to pay all of your own advertising cost.  So make your decission carefully.  When you decide which company you want to go with, talk to the Sales Manager and see what you have to do to get licensed.  Wherever you go it is going to cost you quite a bit of money upfront before you start.  And you will need some money to live on for the first few months.

Did you want to be a realtor, or buy real estate as an investment?\nIf you are barely making it, it will be extremely difficult as a realtor.  If you go to a real estate company such as Century 21, and tell them you would like to be a realtor, they will send you where you need to go for training and help you get started.  You may find a broker who will carry you until you start bringing in commissions.  Look for at least a 55/45 split.  (55 you 45 them Anything less is robbery.  As you go, you will earn higher splits)   \nThen you pay her/him back.  It's all commission.  You make what you earn on your feet..  Be advised that it is also cut throat.  Lots of sharks in that field.  If you can deal with them, it's a good living in the right town.

there are two levels of license, an agent and a broker. It varies by state but they are all pretty close. You need to take classes that amount to 180 hours or so. Then you take a test and work for a brokerr. To become a broker you need lots of experience. You will also need refresher usually 15 hour courses every year to keep your license.

You do have to be a citizen of the US and a legal resident of the state in which you are living.\n\nReal Estate is a state regulated industry. Meaning, each individual state has its own different requirements for real estate agents.\n\nThe source below is specific to Texas.

There are several different ways of gong about getting educated to be a stock broker.  The best way would be to get a degree in finance and or economics at a university.  However, you don't actually need a degree to become a broker.  All you have to do is pass the NASD Series 7 and 66 exams to be one.  The test prep books that are sold for these exams cost a few hundred, but should suffice in getting you the license, but without a good education your effectiveness at giving advice will be a roll of the dice.

The qualifications for a real estate license differ by state.  Here is a typical scenario:  you take a 60-hour course (online or through a real estate school, often run by brokerages) and take the test from your state department of licensing.  Some states require a high school diploma.\n\nA real estate agent and a REALTOR(r) are not technically the same.  A REALTOR(r) has paid dues to the National Association of REALTORS to be a member of their trade organization.  Most people use the term generically, but this drives NAR's attorneys crazy because they are afraid they will lose their trademark.

Here is the best advice you will recieve. \nBefore you even step foot into a realtors office I would suggest you get approved for a mortgage. You can get an official approval, competitve rates and programs at my company site www.JustGetALoan.net. Getting approved does two major things for you: 1 it lets the realtor know they have a real client, I know it sounds lame but they will treat you 100% better when you have been approved. 2) Being approved gives you buying power. Imagine you were the seller if you wanted to sell your home for $300,000 and i walk up to you and said Ive been approved for $285,000 and can close within weeks they are more willing to take that official offer than trying to hold off for people who they do not know they can really buy the home. This creates a better situation for you becuase now you have equity or money in the home. If you would like further assistance feel free to contact me at 866 530 7300 ext 7305 or email me Jenold Freeman at jfreeman@justgetaloan.net

I'm a broker. \n\nBroker= more education, more experience and more liability. \nAgent= less education, less experience and less liability.\n\nBrokers can work under other brokers as an agent to the broker. usually they call themselves broker associates in this case. \n\nAgents must always work under a broker. \n\nI always suggest you look beyond this terminology and find someone you can connect with. It is also important to find people with additional education. Things like a GRI or CRS designation. These are the top two educational enhancements that a realtor can get. they will tell you more then broker or agent. \n\ngood luck,\n\namir

CHECK OUT BELOW TO BECOME STOCK BROKER :\n\n- A stockbroker invests in the stock market for individuals or corporations. Only members of the stock exchange can conduct transactions, so whenever individuals or corporations want to buy or sell stocks they must go through a brokerage house. Stockbrokers often advise and counsel their clients on appropriate investments. Brokers explain the workings of the stock exchange to their clients and gather information from them about their needs and financial ability, and then determine the best investments for them. The broker then sends the order out to the floor of the securities exchange by computer or by phone. When the transaction has been made, the broker supplies the client with the price. The buyer pays for the stock and the broker transfers the title of the stock to the client and performs clearing and settlement procedures. The beginning stockbroker’s first priority is learning the market. One broker said, “First you have to decide whether you have an interest in the stock market. This will determine how well you’ll do. If you’re just interested in making money you won’t get very far.” Stockbrokers spend their time in a fast-paced office, usually working from nine to five, unless they are just starting out or have to meet with clients. The new broker spends many hours on the phone building up a client base. Sometimes brokers teach financial education classes to expose themselves to potential investors who may then become their clients.\n\n- A college degree is not required, but most brokers have one. Brokers have to be licensed. A license is obtained by passing the General Securities Registered Representative Examination and, in many cases, posting a bond. Individuals may take this test after they have been employed by a brokerage firm for four months. Firms use these four months as an on-the-job training period to prepare their workers for the test. Many states also require the candidate to take the Uniform Securities Agents State Law Examination. These tests are designed to ensure the candidate’s knowledge of all aspects of the stock market. After passing these tests, an individual is considered a trainee. While working full time, he takes classes and trains for up to two years. Employees are expected to take training courses throughout their careers to keep abreast of developments in the field. Those with prior work experience have the greatest opportunities for becoming a stock broker. Few people become brokers straight out of college. Most employers seek applicants who have already succeeded in other fields, such as insurance sales. If you know your interests lie in the market, study economics, finances, computers, and business management in college. Many employers view ambition as the most important quality a candidate can possess.\n\n- The sales aspects and the need to build up a client base are similar for stock brokers and insurance and real estate agents. Financial planners create and execute financial plans for people or businesses. They ascertain their clients’ needs, resources and goals and use this information to draw up a financial plan that suits the individual or the company. Traders are the people you see in the movies yelling on the chaotic floor of the stock exchange. They perform the actual exchanges. \n\n- All the best.\n--------------
