There are several on line courses that you can take. You will want to do a google search for your state's real estate agent requirements and it will tell you the amount of course hours and what courses you need to take. I am in Texas and it is required 210 hrs of these specific courses. Then you apply to take the exam. With in 6 months you must have taken the examination. You pass the test and tadaaah! Your a Real Estate Agent. You can also check with your local junior college and they too will offer and in class setting.It can be more expensive than the courses on line, just depends on your learning preference.

Each state has different qualifications. In New York State, to become a Real Estate agent, we take a 45 hour Real Estate Course and must be 18 or older.
You should Google Real Estate Schools (name of your city) and look at the requirements for where you live.

It doesn't require any college. All you have to do is take a course. It is usually offered at various real estate offices. Just b/c you take the course at that office doesn't mean you have to work for them. It is a universal course. There are different options on the duration of classes. You can go everyday for a week for 8 hrs a day (this is called a compound course) or you can go a few days a week or month. There are different durations b/c everybody has different schedules and a variety ensures everybody can make accommodations. Remember you still have to pass the real estate exam and your State's real estate exam. To get information go to a local agency and inquire or you can go on line and look up a well-known office branch and usually there is a link to what they have to offer. Good Luck!

Depends on what type of real estate job you want.
If you just want to be a selling agent, you don't need to go to college but you do need to take some specific real estate courses that are offered by specialized real estate schools, then pass the standard test administered by the state you live in to become a licensed agent, and then you can apply to be a real estate agent at any local real estate office.

I don't think you need a college degree. What I understood from my realtor is that you have to take some classes and pass an exam.

Realtors do not need an education, and most do not have one. They are required to take several classes and pass a test.
