Depending on your state, the criteria might vary. I am a realtor in Southern Caliornia where you can take Real Estate Principles and take the exam. If you pass you will have a provisional 18 month license; thereafter, you must take two additional courses within 18 months to make your license permanent for four years. However, as of October of 2001, the Department of Real Estate will require Real Estate Principles and two additional courses BEFORE taking the real estate exam. Once you pass the exam and sign up with a good firm, they should send you to ethics training (about three hours) , you take an exam and this is where you earn the "Realtor," designation versus just being an agent.
Hope this helps.

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. You need to have a mentor who you can trust and follow for making your business a success. You can offer to assist a renowned broker so that you can learn about nuances concerned with Real Estate. In the process, you will learn about title insurance, deeds, and everything else related to the domain. You will be more confident in the future when handling transactions single-handedly once, you will have experience working under a broker. You will feel capable about knowing all nitty-gritty of real estate.

Becoming Real Estate Agent is not difficult at all. If you are a beginner, you need to get in touch with a experienced Real Estate Agent to grab the knowledge about Real Estate.

Becoming a realtor isn't really that difficult. I am a licensed Broker Associate in Indiana. Which Indiana actually has some of the hardest testing for Real Estate. I personally went to a class instead of doing an online course. Like SoCal Realtor wrote you are not actually a Realtor until you join NAR. There are fee's in doing this but once you pass the class and the state exam it shouldn't be that hard. Here in Indiana you are under a lot of the same guidelines as California now. Really you will want to go talk with a Managing Broker of a company you see a lot of. They can guide you through the reins and possibly pay for some of your schooling as long as you sign with them once you are licensed. Here in Indiana I think start to finish it was about a $2000 total investment to get started.

If you want to become a real estate agent, make sure you research what is involved in your state. Some states have easier requirements than others, but it is difficult to get your license in most places. It costs a lot of money to become a real estate agent, but it is well worth it in my opinion. Becoming a real estate agent saves a ton of money and allows you a better opportunity to buy properties below market value.
Good Luck :)

To be an real estate agent is not difficult. But you have to take care of certain things into your mind.
1. You should have accurate information about all the property where your business is.
2. Data should not be manipulated,should not try to cheat your own client.
3. Person needs to be polite in the society.Because it will help him to gain more customers.
These three things will help to win over most of the situation in the real estate business.Else it is not a cake walk.

Real estate professionals are tied to the development of our society in a very direct way and participate in decisions that will shape the way we live for centuries. Work in real estate is personally rewarding, ever-changing and challenging. Take some time and consider your potential in the field of real estate. One of the exciting things about real estate is that it can be approached from so many different ways. You can be a white-collar worker projecting and analyzing cash flows from new developments with spreadsheets; an agent in the field with heavy contact with customers on a day to day basis; or an entrepreneurial property owner/manager looking for undervalued real estate buys and strategies for creating value.

If you have enough financial back up then you can think of becoming real estate investore. Before investing any money study the real estate market where you plan to invest. Start with a small area of a town or city and concentrate your investment efforts there.
