If you are planning to go into real estate, I suggest you become a broker because a broker is top dog of the real estate food chain. \n\nHowever, there are a lot of jobs with numerous titles. For example: loan originator, loan processor, Agent assistant, etc. \n\nBasically real estate is broken up into 2 parts, property and financing. Each part has numerous titles and responsibilities. What exactly do you want to do?\n\nRegards...

Below is a link to a career page about Real Estate agents and brokers.  After reading this general information, you'll want to visit the CA Board of Realtors website at http://www.car.org/ for more information about local Real Estate schools and what is required for licensure.  Good luck!

There is a terrific resource called "score" which has a local office. They can guide you. Their staff is mostly volunteer, and they are retired folks who assist people with aspirations like yours, perhaps even aligning you with a previous restaurant owner. Contact me if you need a real estate agent!

Yes, I know of a real estate office that is like that.  The owner is too old to continue the business and wants to move out of town to be with his children.  He is the broker, and there are three agents that work under him. The problem is that none of them wants to work as hard as he did to keep it up.\n\nThere are probably businesses like this all over the country.

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.

Go into real estate investing. You can apply your current skills, and stay at your current job until you're making enough money through real estate to quit. Visit success.org and review the Master Real Estate course.  Every thing on there is free. I've been listing to the pod cast and have been getting into real estate.

Before I can answer this, I need to differentiate between three types of professions that are confused with a 'Mortgage Broker'. 1) A Loan Officer is not a Mortgage Broker. Loan Officers may work for Brokers, and a Broker may originate loans as a loan officer. 2) Real Estate Agents are not Mortgage Brokers. Real Estate Agents facilitate the transaction between the buyer and the seller of a property. Mortgage brokers facilitate the transaction between the buyer and the lender. Real Estate Agents are not Mortgage Brokers. Mortgage Brokers may be Real Estate Agents. 3) A Mortgage Lender is not a Mortgage Broker. A Mortgage Lender underwrites a mortgage loan for an investor, then lends the money to the borrower for the purchase/refinance of a property. A Mortgage Broker brings borrowers to the Mortgage Lender.   Whew!\n\nMost states require a Mortgage Broker to have at least three years experience in the mortgage industry. Most states require you to be licensed, and to have a 'brick and mortar' office location in their state. One infamous state that doesn't is Colorado. Most people who become brokers started off as Loan Officers. Loan Officers generally work on commission and are the 'sales people' of the mortgage industry. They are the ones making the cold calls, doing the footwork and selling the loan products offered by the Mortgage Lenders.

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.
