To become a successful Real Estate agent, you need not just focus on completing your studies cleaning tests. If you don’t plan well beforehand, you will fail miserably in the game of real estate.

When beginning with the domain of real estate, you need to have a backup plan. Do a part-time job or save some amount of money as you might have to work without any commission for some time. You should be able to pay your bills, even if it requires you to work part-time as an agent. It might not have been your plan to work part-time, but you still should do so if you want to be successful Real Estate agent in the future. You might not have to go through all this, if your relative or family member is willing to buy property then you can survive for a long time without having to worry about income.

Real estate agents usually are independent sales workers who provide their services to a licensed real estate broker on a contract basis. In return, the broker pays the agent a portion of the commission earned from the agent's sale of the property. Brokers are independent business people who sell real estate owned by others; they also may rent and manage properties for a fee. When selling real estate, brokers arrange for title searches and for meetings between buyers and sellers where details of the transactions are agreed upon and the new owners take possession. A broker may help to arrange favorable financing from a lender for the prospective buyer that often makes the difference between success and failure in closing a sale. In some cases, brokers and agents assume primary responsibility for closing sales; in others, lawyers or lenders do this. Brokers supervise agents who may have many of the same job duties. Brokers also manage their own offices, advertise properties, and handle other business matters. Some combine other types of work, such as selling insurance or practicing law, with their real estate business.
Working Conditions
Advances in telecommunications and the ability to retrieve data on properties over the Internet allow many real estate brokers and sales agents to work out of their homes, instead of real estate offices. Even with this convenience, much of their time is spent away from their desk-showing properties to customers, analyzing properties for sale, meeting with prospective clients, or researching the state of the market.

Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement
In every State and the District of Columbia, real estate brokers and sales agents must be licensed. Prospective agents must be a high school graduate, at least 18 years old, and pass a written test. The examination-more comprehensive for brokers than for agents-includes questions on basic real estate transactions and laws affecting the sale of property. Most States require candidates for the general sales license to complete between 30 and 90 hours of classroom instruction. Those seeking a broker's license need between 60 and 90 hours of formal training and a specific amount of experience selling real estate, usually 1 to 3 years. Some States waive the experience requirements for the broker's license for applicants who have a bachelor's degree in real estate.

State licenses typically must be renewed every 1 or 2 years, usually without examination. However, many States require continuing education for license renewal. Prospective agents and brokers should contact the real estate licensing commission of the State in which they wish to work to verify exact licensing requirements.

A real estate broker or real estate agent is a person who acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers of real estate/real property and attempts to find sellers who wish to sell and buyers who wish to buy. In the United States, the relationship was originally established by reference to the English common law of agency, with the broker having a fiduciary relationship with his clients. A real estate broker typically receives a payment called a commission for successfully matching a seller's real estate with a buyer such that a sale can be made. This commission can be divided up with other participating real estate brokers or agents when applicable.

An estate agent being used as a term in the United Kingdom means a person or organization whose business is to market real estate on behalf of clients, but there are significant differences between the actions and liabilities of brokers and estate agents in each country. Beyond the United States, other countries take markedly different approaches to the marketing and selling of real property.

In the United States, however, real estate brokers and their salespersons (commonly called "real estate agents" or, in some states, "brokers")[1] assist sellers in marketing their property and selling it for the highest possible price under the best terms. Crucially, in the U.S. each state has their own laws defining the types of relationships that can exist between clients and real estate professionals and those relationships, such as brokerage and agency, can vary markedly.
When acting as a buyer's agent with a signed agreement (or, in many cases, verbal agreement, although a broker may not be legally entitled to his commission unless the agreement is in writing), they assist buyers by helping them purchase property for the lowest possible price under the best terms. The real estate broker is obligated to provide fiduciary duties to whomever that broker services as a client.............Property Management

I'd call a larger real estate agency close to home and ask them (many of them always want more people, and are willing to pay for or subsidize the mandatory class).
You could probably even take the class before you finish high school, since they are usually offered at night (and if your high school is cool, they might offer credit for it too).
