Q:Is there really any difference? The past boom in the housing market has lured every scumbag on the planet in to become a real estate agent / realtor. Here in Charleston, SC they will LIe, Cheat and Backstab anyone in thier way to get your business. Why would I trust someone like that to help me find a home, let alone sell mine?

If you work with a REALTOR than that person must adhere to a certain code of ethics

Q:What courses should I take when I go to college if I want to be a real estate agent?

If all you want to do is obtain your real estate license you need not attend a college to do this. There are many on line courses that you might enroll in to obtain your license from your state. To find these sites you should google your state followed by real estate license. This should bring up information about your state requirements to obtain a real estate license in your state. Once you have seen this information you should have a clear idea of the requirements, therefore you will be able to make an intelligent decision as to what method you would want to use to obtain your real estate license. This site should give you a list of real estate schools and college courses that are required to obtain your license in your state. If you decide to attend college you should check with your career counselor about the necessary required courses necessary to obtain your license. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON

Q:Thinking about getting a real estate license, but I don't even know what to major in community college yet.. Any ideas?? Maybe a major that's related to real estate... Oh and one last question.. I'm thinking of dropping my collaborative statistics class because i don't know if it has to do with anything, is this needed in any way??

Anything about business and sales will help. But depending on what state your in, you probably don't need to go to community college for a Real Estate license. Real Estate is all about clientele. Check with some local Real Estate brokers to see if they offer Real Estate classes to prepare you for the Real Estate license exam. Also, Real Estate can cost thousands of dollars to get started, and you may do a lot of free labor before you get a check. It is commission only so make sure you have another job or support to back you up while getting started. It can take years to become successful. Real Estate can also be very stressful, so be prepared. It's a good idea to talk to some other Realtors first to make sure that's the business you want to go into.

Q:I am a residential real estate Broker in New York. I've sold a few commercial properties (although I was met with resistence) and get clients from time to time looking for commercial listings but I find it difficult to help them as the commercial real estate industry is like this secret society. Certain companies will only work with other commercial real estate brokers, Websites ALL require passwords and paid memberships and half of those websites are inaccurate on multiple levels. WHat is the point of this? Wouldn't it be easier to just make this information readily available to all??? Wouldn't more deals be done? If joe wanted to buy a space fr his clothing store wouldn't it get done quicker if all he did was type in commercial real estate for sale and 30 free websites popped up??? I just struggle to see the point.

It isn't secretive, it is just completely different from residential real estate. Generally speaking, residential agents have no business thinking that they know enough about the commercial side of things to represent someone. There is a ton of stuff that applies to commercial real estate that residential brokers are never exposed to and trying to work with a residential broker is frustrating because they don't understand a lot of what is going on. Would you use a commercial broker to sell your house for you? Of course not.

Q:Ok, I'm thinking about changing my whole outlook on a career, mostly because i HATE my job and it's going no where fast. I want to get into real estate because after applying for job after job that I know I'll hate, I've decided that would be interesting. Here's the thing, I don't know how to start. Should I get the license first? Would companies hire you and train you while you go to classes? How does it work traditionally? I've been on the big companies websites and requested information, but haven't received anything yet. Just need a little inspiration from someone who's been there. THANKS!!

Q:Real estate agent

There are many different independent countries and protectorates with different home countries in the Caribbean. What this means is you need to specifically narrow down which country/island you are interested in because each will have different rules and regulations with regards to who can work on the island and for how long. For instance, in Grand Cayman, there are some very strict work rules for non-citizens. You should check with the consulate of the island nation you are interested in working at, and then proceed to research the specifics of become a real estate agent on that particulary island.

Q:We're just beginning our home buying journey, just spoke a realtor, starting to look at homes at this week, etc.. Very early in the game still. At what point should we get a real estate attorney? And what should we expect from one? Do they walk you through the fine print, can I expect him/her to be available to answer any questions I may have? Or are their services limited to just the closing? Please feel free to offer any additional information in regards to a real estate attorney and what their job includes.. Thank you.

Kim gave it to you in a nutshell-- and the Loanmaster expressed his Grand Mastery--take heed and Good Luck-- and make sure there are no other hidden liens and encumberances on the property before you close. Sometimes the previous owner will take a loan against the property just before they move out and the paperwork has not yet gone into records and this may not get noticed until you have already moved into the house and then later--are notified and demanded to pay for something you didn't know about
