How can I become a Realtor?

To become a realtor, you need numerous qualifications. The minimum requirements include being 18, completing a course of study in real estate, and passing a real estate exam. Some states allow prospective realtors to substitute a bachelor’s degree for specific real estate courses. All states require that realtors be licensed in order to sell property. Not all states recognize other state’s licenses, so if you move, you may need to complete that state’s exam. State licenses typically must be renewed every few years.
