How hard is it to get your realestate license ???

Question

I have a bachlors degree in business managment and want to further my education by getting a realestate license. I am moving to Arizona from Alabama. Can anyone help ?

Answer 1

The requirements may vary from state to state, but if you complete a real estate course (which takes a reasonably short time and which isn't difficult to do) you then take a test in order to get a license. At least some states would then require a person to work for an established real estate agency for a certain amount of time before he/she can become a licensed broker.

Answer 2

Getting a license is not that hard. You have to take a few classes and pass a state exam. The number of course hours varies from state to state.

Now making a living in the real estate business is another story. Only a few are at the top, most don't make as much as their would if they got a regular job.

Answer 3

Let me point out that you need the ethics of a saint or those of a rather evil person due to the inherent conflict of interests in the business. For example: You do not make money if a client does not buy - will you have the moral courage to tell clients not to buy when it is not in their best interest? Can you remain unswayed buy bonus money offered by sellers for certain homes? Can you look at yourself know you sold a person a asset that is going to continue declining in value? Can you enthusiastically support a buyers offer in presentation if you loose money if it is accepted? You can see where this heads to If you really represent your client's interests - you make little to no money and if you make money you did it by screwing others The national association lies continually in their statements and has from the beginning of the housing downturn Real estate sales are using a completely outdated system that is not longer needed in the days of web searches. Being paid to file paperwork on a house the client comes in wanting to buy is not worth the commission your get.
