Q:Is is best to have some sort of college degree when getting into real estate (especially when going for a broker's license)??

A majority of people in real estate don't make a lot of money. In CA, the average is 25K a year, but for many it's way less. If you're going to invest the money into a college degree, I would pick something with a future and higher pay.

Q:1.Do you need a college degree? And if so, what kind of degree would you need or is there a real estate school for this?2.How much do they make a year?3. Is it a good career to get into?

You don't need a degree to become a real estate appraiser, but you will need to be licensed which will include an education requirement specific to real estate appraising (often offered by real estate schools). Where I come from Appraisers that work for someone else's company get paid about $100 to $150 per residential appraisal and appraisers are able to do up to 2 residential appraisals per day. But the question is would you be able to do 2 appraisals per day given the lower demand for appraisals due to market factors. I recommend you interview at a couple of appraisal companies to see if you can even see a likelihood that you will be able to get hired if you got licensed. I did this very thing early in my career and the owner of the company frankly told me that there was no way I could make the kind of money I wanted to make as an appraiser and talked me into becoming a Realtor instead. I took his advice, and he was dead right.

Q:I am selling a house in probate sale. I signed a big real estate company to sell it. The agent went to a realtor who buys houses for low cash offers, and then told me he couldn't get better offers so I would sell. The two realtors are flipping properties. I just found my house on the buyers internet site and he doesn't own it. Escrow closes in 3 weeks. The escrow guy is in on it too. I apparently found a bunch of bad guys. The internet site has millions of dollars in property for sale, and probably most of it, they don't own. People who were calling his number off the sign, were getting bounced to the buyer. suggestions? numbers to federal agenies?

get rid of this agent and hire a real estate lawyer. its worth the 5oo.oo you might pay the lawyer, trust me I am in this process now. good luck and dont sign any thing without consulting a lawyer

Q:I've had a recent growing interest in real estate. Where do I start? I've heard that you can make considerable profit from flipping houses and such. Any suggestions? I really don't have much exposure or experience w/ this stuff at all. I was thinking about taking a real estate class at a community college in my area...

real estate classes mostly just help you pass a real estate license exam. It does not sound like that is the way you want to go. Based on what you say you want to do I would strongly suggest you find someone that does exactly that and go to work for them. Don't worry about how much salary you make- consider it an education. You will either learn how to do this or learn you don't want to do this.

Q:I'm looking into being a real estate agent in TX, after my enlistment is up in a few years. What was your education for the job like? How is the pay off compared to the work demand? Benefits? How far should i take my education for the job? How stable is it, if buisness is bad can you still stay afloat? Is it a comfortable living for a family of three with spouse making around 35 annually.

As a former realtor, I can let you know that almost all commissions are 7% or a minimum of they have been years in the past. We will use your illustration of $10,000. First of all a million/two of it'll bought to the directory dealer, so now we are all the way down to $five,000. You are proper in assuming that the the rest might be divided among the 2 dealers. Maybe she is solely looking to preserve the complete quantity for herself, which particularly would not shock me. So if she can not discover a purchaser herself she is going to arise with excuses to not proportion it with any one else. As for what a realtor does... that is plenty that would possibly not are compatible right here. There are plenty of bills worried equivalent to promoting, indicators, contracts, getting a identify manufacturer to ship you information at the condo... after which there are the hours spent on the workplace, and the hours spent riding men and women round, a few of whom are simply sight seeing and now not particularly fascinated by truthfully shopping some thing. Then there are the hours spent keeping open residences. There is plenty worried and a realtor does not receives a commission a unmarried cent till AFTER the identify clears, the sale closes and the budget are published from escrow. Then out of that $2500 she is going to nonetheless need to pay industry taxes, individual taxes (double the quantity incidentally for the reason that you need to pay your proportion and the companys proportion for the reason that you're an impartial contractor) social safeguard medicare, and malpractice coverage. By the time they get performed there isn't a lot left. Most most likely much less that $900! And now that $900 has to hide all of her bills that she paid out earlier than the condo offered.

Q:ok so im was wondering how does a real estate agent get assigned a house to sell?i was thinking do they buy the house? or is it first come first serves

Krissy, they aren't assigned. As a Realtor you prospect all the time, and from that you gain clients that either list of sell.

Q:I've been considering going into real estate off and on for some time now and I'm looking for some advice from people currently working in real estate.What is your job like? How are the hours?Was the licensing process difficult?Is it worth it?Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Real Estate sales in not a job. It is starting a small business. You set your own hours the way a store sets its own hours- the more you are available- the more you could sell. The licensing process is sort of like trying to weed out people that can not memorize stuff or do math. It does not help you become successful- just gets your license. Find a broker/company that will provide lots of good training and maybe mentoring- because that is where you actually learn to sell. I have done this for 32 years so far and really enjoy it. I really can't tell you how many hours I work. I was at church this Sunday and two separate people walked up to me about listing their homes- I sure don't intend to work at church and only took down a short note to call them later- but I did not do anything that would make them feel uncomfortable about talking about real estate. I just can't tell you for sure that I am ever off the clock. Even on vacation- I sometimes find myself looking at how real estate sales are done in another location- or how houses are built in another area.
