You need to take pre-licensing courses either through a local college (recommended) or through a local real estate office. After you take the classes, you must take the state licensing test. You will then hang your license with a real estate broker and join a realtor's association. There are many up front fees involved. You have to pay state, local & national dues, plus quarterly MLS fees. Most places also charge a new subscriber/new member fee also. There are also fees involved with the electronic lockbox system. Then there are the charges associated with your office, like for advertising, etc. You need to make sure you have a comfort zone in your finances before you start this. It could be up to 6 months before you see your first commission check. Good luck !

Talk to people who are already in the business. Yes, you have to take classes and get a license. But that's not the hard part. In Texas, just to get started there are charges and fees that are unbelievably high. Quarterly MLS fees, security lock fee, monthly agency fees, and on and on and on.

If you're looking for this answer under "Fashion & Accessories", you're behind the 8-ball already.
Considered Wal-Mart?

You have to go to school and get licensed. Check your yellow pages -- and check your category before you post!
