How to Become a Real Estate Agent

You’ve come to the right place if you’re wondering how to get your real estate license. The steps vary from state to state, but usually involve minimum age and education/experience requirements, as well as application and other state-specific fees/details.

Most states and provinces require a sales agent to have already received their real estate license before joining a brokerage while, in a few, a new agent must obtain a sponsoring brokerage prior to pursuing a license. Licensing requirements involve extensive coursework and passing a state exam.
