(which is mostly 19 years) and educational qualifications (which is mostly high school). Once you know that you satisfy those license (pre-license) eligibility criteria, you can go ahead and enrol for a pre-license training. There a number of schools that offer license training. Some schools offer online training for license. Choose a course that is spread over a sufficient duration of time e.g. 1 year so that you are able to grasp the concepts properly (after all you want to become a successful agent and not just another agent). You will be taught a number of topics as part of your license training. All this will help you develop a basic understanding of and various aspects related to (e.g. law, deeds, contracts, ownership transfer, etc) Once you have undergone this license training, you will be required to undergo a state exam. After you pass this exam, you will generally need to undergo another training on state approved courses. And that’s it, you can now get a license which is worth that effort (as you will find in a couple of years of starting real state brokering). Most states also require you to go for continuous education after you have received your license. However, this is a just a few hours every few years. So license is what you need to start your career as agent. But your success after that will be dependent on how seriously, ethically and smartly you carry out your job.
