You have to be cold, calculating, tight-fisted, talk bollox and not give a damn about anyone (that includes your mother) and you'll sail into the job.

No specific qualification required, what all you need is a good communication skill . But some basic legal knowledge is required, this helps you when ever a litigation arises. Best suggestion I can give is, join a reputed estate agency. Do job for about one year. By that time you will knowing all in and out of an agents job. Then start your own estate agency.

Depends on what level you want to achieve.
I'm a sales negotiator in an Estate Agency. I started as a Weekend viewing person (just showing people round houses) and helping in the office, booking viewings and giving information about houses.
Now I do pretty much all aspects of the job, having learned as I go along. There's loads that I don't know, and I'm not trained as a valuer, but there are more experienced, and more highly qualified people in the office to do that.
The manager has done lots of courses and has a string of letters after his name - I don't aspire to that, I just enjoy doing what I do.
I would definitely recommend this route, as when you start there's no pressure on you and you can learn by watching others and gaining hands-on experience.

Very little to be truthful...
Obviously when applying the more qualifications you have the better...
Its a whole different kettle of fish if you want to OWN an estate agents.
For this you must have be chartered and take a basic training course to clue you in on the ins and outs of property sale.
Just to work for an estate agent...
Good english/maths skills
Good grammar and good communcation skills.
thats about it...

You need to get a Real Estate License..which normally only takes 2 weeks - 1 year..depending on how much time you are willing to commit too.
If you live in australia, i know that you can apply online at the REIA website...or youre individual state's REI website.

if you mean that question exactly how you've phrased it then the answer is none at all whatsoever.
you need skills, but not qualifications. it's just like the funeral service where all you need is a telephone number and some contacts to call yourself one.

none - it's the type of thing you learn on the job - you need the gift of the gab and a lot of guts!
