You need some verified documents like your SSN, your driving license, business or job pay slips, etc. that's all. There is a real estate agency in Mobile,Al, which you will find interesting because they also helps you if you have some problems, related to these also. Hope this information will be of some use to you.

Q:How do i become a real estate agent? Im a junior in High School so I would really prefer that areal estate agent answer. I would like to now all the steps, if any that I should take now, How old i need to be to get my liscence and all.Thank you!

To be eligible to become a licensed real estate salesperson or agent, you must: 1.Be at least 18 or 19 years old (depends on the state) 2.Have legal US residency. 3.Complete your required prelicense education (number of hours required depends on the state) 4.Pass your state real estate license examination.

Q:I'm a sophmore in High School, and I'm pretty sure I want to become a Real Estate Agent. 1. What texas college/or out of state college is best for real estate?2. What high school classes should i take now?3. I'm going to do the upper class residental houses; what city? houston?4. Any other tips?Thanks :)

Residential real estate does not require a college degree. In Texas it is about the equivalent of two years of college but a lot of people do it much quicker than that is a private school. I wanted a college degree. I felt like it would help me communicate with clients that have a degree. Almost any state college would have the appropriate classes and would be fine. High school classes would include any classes to do with business. Balancing account books and such. Which city to start working in depends on where you have contacts- where you are most familiar. If you go to U of H maybe you could work at a real estate company in some secretary position or assistant position and see how things work while you are going to school. Being a real estate agent is not a job. You are contract labor and that means that even though you are working at a brokerage company- you are pretty much starting a business. You must be self driven- no one will have a financial interest caring if you succeed or fail.

Q:So my boyfriend and I are looking at a potential house nearby so we can be homeowners. He works for a contractor that remodels houses and I, on the other hand, am currently working nearly full time as a waitress. I heard some real estate companies won't sell a house to someone who works as a server/bartender. Is this true? Or does that depend on the company?SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!! NO RUDE RESPONSES!!

I have been a real estate agent/broker full time since 1978. I sell homes to people all the time that have all sorts of employment. The only problem with servers is if the income reported to IRS is not enough to qualify for the loan. That would not be my decision but the mortgage company investors.

Q:is it good time to be into real estate? is it bad now and if so when do you guys think it will be come better? i am currently a freshman in junior college and really like real estate. i plan to relocate to los angeles, california. is real estate good there in california?

It is a horrible time to get into Real Estate now, as the market is crashing in America. That being said, I would expect(and don't hold your breath for this as I'm for from an economist) that the government change will assist the economy to turn around, as well as all the interest rises, et cetera. Essentially, you should be fine by the time you get in the market. My biggest advise though, would be to take note of this: You don't need to study real estate to get into real estate - it's sales, or the entry roles are sales anyways, and if you're good at your job you'll climb up the corporate ladder very quickly. You simply need to charismatic and influential (could you persuade one of your friends that blue is the very best color int he world? Are you good at debates?). For example, if you were to do a degree in business, you could follow that career path if you decided that you enjoyed it, or if the market is still average. At any time though, you can go into real estate....just know that if you move at a later stage, you may have to take a pay cut and start back at the bottom! Best of luck!

Q:Is there any way to find complaints that were filed against a particular real estate agent?

It relies on which state you're in. If I bear in mind effectively in California you cannot get a license below specified stipulations so there is not any have to take the truly property categories.

Q:I have always wanted to own my own business and be an entrepreneur. I plan to travel the world in the future and I know I am going to live in a big city when I'm older. I have been thinking about going to college for Communications because I want to work in the entertainment industry or something with traveling. BUT if I chose that road, I wouldn't be really owning my own business...So, I've recently been taking an intereste in REAL ESTATE and I know that they can make a really GOOD income. If I chose that route, I could own my own business, work when I want, and when I do work I would be getting paid a lot more.SOOOO my question is...Do Real Estate Agents in NYC get paid alot of money? How would one go about starting THEIR OWN real estate business?

they get paid commissions on sale just like every other realtor in the nation. They have to work for listings as well as sales

Q:i thought i'd ask in a different context...are real estate prices in boulder, co going down? if so, how much and for how long (in your opinion)? i looked at valuations at zillow and they seem to be all over the place...i'd love to hear from folks who are familiar with real estate prices in boulder proper. thanks!

From what ive heard, prices are still going up but i bet they will start going down within the next couple of years. I really dont understand the desire of boulder but a lot of people do and that is what jacked up the real estate. but everything that goes up must come down, right?

Q:I'm considering going into the field of real estate inspection and would like to know an estimate of there starting salary's for a r/e apprentice.

It is hard to answer that, since most beginner real estate inspectors / appraisers are not able to find a paying apprenticeship, or what they find is really not worth the money. In the first year or so, you are doing it more for the experience. I have heard of pay as little as $8/hour. :( I would have to say this is also not the best time to get started, but if you have the time, take the course, learn it well, and start building relationships within the industry. That way when the market picks up, you will be ready to start. The best way to go is to establish relationships with independent realtors, and try to get them to refer clients to you. You will make much more money (once you are established) than you would if you worked for a company. In general, working for a company as a licensed inspector / appraiser, you would make $40K to $70K. When you are a free agent, your earnings can be close to $150K. My friend with 12 years of experience makes that much now, and he loves his job. Good luck!

Q:I would like to know how the whole process of buying real estate works. What I mean by this is house does buying a home to live in work. Also, I would like to know how buying land works, and where would be a good place to look to find inexpensive land. I have had a general plan for some time, now. What I am looking to do is buy some land and build my own house, myself. The only problem is that I do not know how the whole buying process works. I am sure there are taxes, and the buying process might be different in every state. If it helps answer my question to a finer degree; I live in Florida. Thank you.

Hi Cam, How do I say this and sound beliveable? I'm NOT a spammer, NOT affiliated with Carleton Sheets, NOR make a penny by saying this but I actually began my career by watching late night infomercials by him and Russ Whitney and bought these programs and the returns over the years are incalculable. I'm sure you can find these free somewhere now on the net, library etc. but suggest you buy since I think in those programs (I have the bank account to show it). Just seems fair for their time. Anywho, the biggest thing to remember is DON'T use banks if possible. I found partners, angels (private investors), creative financing, even trading a truck for a down payment on a rental, etc... and never borrowed a dime from a bank. It's common sense. Building/buying a personal home is TOTALLY different than investment real estate. I'll make it simple. EDUCATE yourself (I started before the net and now there are TONS of resourses available). I believe in basics. Beg, borrow, steal, buy, whatever Carleton Sheets course and just read it first. You WILL know where to go from there because it will open your mind. May sound corny but it sure worked for me. Good Luck
