3 Steps to Becoming a Real Estate Agent
No matter which state you live in, you need to follow these basic steps to get your real estate license.
Step 1:Complete your pre-licensing education
Step 2:Pass the real estate exam
Step 3:Launch your real estate career
After completing your pre-licensing education, you’ll take a final exam to test your understanding. Most states require passing both a national and state-specific exam portion covering real estate principles, practices, and laws. Choose a school with exam prep courses, review study guides, and understand testing procedures to pass on your first try.
After passing the state exam, finalize your license application with the state, including any required background checks, insurance, or broker forms. Next, choose a licensed broker to work under. Research brokerages carefully—consider commission splits, training, and resources to find one that aligns with your goals. Then, start selling real estate!
Most states require real estate courses to qualify for the licensing exam. You'll master essentials like contracts, property valuation, and real estate law—skills to help you pass the test and succeed with future clients. Choose an accredited online program that fits your schedule and sets you up for success.
