Robin Tommie: Technically you don't need a college education to become a Realtor. All you need to do (in most jurisdictions) is take some courses through your state's real estate board, take a test, and then you become a licensed Realtor.

Darren Heling: Actually you have to take a course which depending on your state regulations is however many hours long. My state it was 60 hours.

Byron Fortmann: First off, it seems like you have more than one question, so I will try to answer them all.#1 - What is a "license" to be a real estate agent: The license means you are approved to do business in real estate. I'll break it down, it is sort of like a driver's license, you passed a test, and now you can drive. You passed a test, and now you can sell real estate.#2- "What does it do" - It gives you credibility in the real estate community in most cases.If you don't understand this basic concept of real estate, this probably isn't the busines! s for you. From your sentence structure and spelling, I'm wondering if you can successfully move into this profession. Much is weighted on your ability to interact with people, and your level of education to succeed in this business is suspect in my eyes.Maybe you should explore other opportunities.............Show more

Lyman Gauld: Each state makes their own laws for licensing any professional, including real estate agents. Most require a test, and few if any waive the test for out of state licenseholders. I'm not sure if any require a course at all, even for first timers. I can tell you that the courses are designed to tell you the things you need to know to pass which are matters of law, not necessarily common sense, that will tend to vary from state to state. For example: Does the state require you to pay a buyer interest on the deposit/earnest money? Is it permissible to represent both the Buyer and the Seller? If so, what must you do to prove "informed consent! " of both? What is the minimum amount of time you must put into the con! tract for the buyer to obtain a licensed home inspector? Must you put any at all? Are "hubbard clauses" legal? Is the contract legally binding without earnest money? Take the course....Show more
