Business Q&A

Question:
I am a sophomore in college and i am interested in being a real estate agent. My major is construction management, and i will graduate with this degree program. I can wait till after college, but I would actually love to try to become an agent soon, so i can pay my way through college. What i need to know is:

Do you NEED to already have a degree?

And what are the educational requirements? I have read that it is like 160 hrs.. Thats about 6 college classes, correct?

I just need to know what i need to do to get started. Thanks!!!!

Answer:
In most states, you do not need a degree. You do have to attend and pass Real Estate School. Joining a local MLS is pretty expensive, depending on what state you're in. Young people come into the business all the time, and find out that it costs more to be an agent than what's coming into your bank account. They usually last a year or two.
There are so many fees involved…

Joining the MLS or local board
Desk fees
Key fees
Lockbox fees
Continuing education fees

Continuing education classes will consume your money and a great deal of your time…

Just some things to consider - I have seen too many people come and go…. only to leave with empty pockets.
