Getting a Real Estate License

Earning a real estate license isn't difficult if you know what to expect, and can fulfill the requirements.  The process varies from state to state, and usually involves minimum age requirements, certain education and/or experience requirements, applications and fees, and other state-specific details.  So you must be sure that you know your state's requirements before you get too involved in preparing for your real estate exam.

In most states and provinces, a minimum requirement to joining a real estate company as a sales agent is to have already earned a real estate license.  In some states, however, a new agent needs to obtain a sponsoring brokerage prior to pursuing a license.  Licensing requirements typically involve course work and passing a state test.

Most states also require that you be a high school graduate or hold an equivalency diploma.  You can check with your state or province to find the names of licensing schools near you.  Many states also require post-licensing course work immediately after you earn your license; and most states require continuing education throughout your career to keep your license active.
