To become licensed, most states require that an applicant take a minimum number of classes before taking the state licensing exam. Such education is often provided by real estate brokerages as a means to finding new agents. In many states, the real estate licensee must disclose to prospective buyers and sellers who represents whom. See below for a broker/licensee relationship to sellers and their relationship to buyers. While some people may refer to any licensed real estate agent as a real estate broker, a licensed real estate agent is a professional who has obtained a real estate broker's license. The licensee is one who has obtained a real estate license and is employed by a real estate broker. Often, licensee's refer to themselves as an agent, but the true agent is the broker and the licensee is a representative of the broker, often referred to as the real estate salesperson. A real estate broker who works for another broker is referred to, sometimes, as a junior broker.

Q:So the house next door is for sale, and the real estate guy selling it had a open house today and he was really hot and I was just wondering how the whole real estate thing works and will I most likely ever see him again?

What do you mean how the whole real estate thing works? He's a real estate agent (I assume listing the home), so he is trying to help the seller sell the property. If the open house went well and he has an offer, it might get accepted. In which case, most savvy buyers would have contingency/subject clauses that have to be fulfilled. If this is the case, you might see the real estate agent when he's there for a few hours with the home inspector and also for a few minutes with the appraiser (or appraisers). Then you'll most likely never see him again. If you want to guarantee that you'll see him again, ask him out.

Q:I want to learn to art of real estate investing with no money down.

The Government has temporally slowed the downward spiral of truly property expenses by way of enacting residence purchaser credit and different tax incentives, however the decline will begin once more whilst the ones systems expire and foreclosure begin once more, this time considering the home-owner has misplaced his/her task.

Q:I just moved to a new city and have my real estate license. Does anyone have any advise on how to get my name out there and let people know who I am?

Q:I am thinking about becoming a real estate agent but I do not know alot about it and I haven't been able to find much on it. What are the risks and costs of becoming an agent? I am young and I would want to do this full time. What is the normal amount of sales and income a beginner would make? What all do agents do? What are my chances of failure?

Q:I have 3 more classes until I am fineshed with real estate school.Any suggestions or advice.I am thinking of starting out with apartment locators rather than homes!!I dont know.... I am married and 21 and I have been through a few other career choices and they didnt work out. I hope I will like real estate.Is it good money in Texas???HELP HELP!!!Thanks much

Real Estate is like everything else. You get out what you put into it. Never give up! Apartment locators will get you a little money really fast. If you need the income to survive than absolute start there to survive on. But you are not getting your license to survive! The best way to make money with a real estate license is to get listings! Listings! Listings! Did I say Listings! I tell every new agent that comes to my office if they want to make money in real estate to get listings. Make your approach unique. Pick an area you are already familiar with in a price range that most people are buying in. Get out of the office and hit the streets. That is where the money is found. Work the expired listings in the area. Work the FSBO's in the area. Check with your broker and see if they will let you offer a lower commission on the listing side to get you in the neighborhood. Don't short change the buyers agent's commission. Ex: a 6% would be a 3/3 split a 5% would be a 2/3 split, a 4% would be a 1/3 split. You won't make much if another agent sells your listing but that don't matter. The more signs you have in a neighborhood the more calls you get from buyers. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NAME RIDERS ON YOUR SIGNS! You are not just trying to sell your listings you are selling everyone's listings. As you get more experienced and more clients start calling you and you have less available time then your value goes up. If you decide to come to the New Orleans area look me up. I am always looking for new agents. Michael

Q:what does it mean when delinquent real estate taxes go to the state?

real estate taxes are entirely a county thing, if they become delinquent the county can seize the property and put it up for auction the state does not enter into the picture

Q:Do I need to graduate high school to be eligible for a license and career in the Real Estate Industry? I am almost 17, in 10th grade and school is extremely difficult for me. I am pretty sure I won't be able to graduate do to how demanding and hard the work is. I was hoping to be an agent seeing as it's just the perfect job for me and my personalty. I am also interested in design. The only problem is, I know I'm smart and I have great business skills/techniques. It's just the things they require us to learn these days is so unnecessary I don't see the point. So anyways, I live in Seattle Washington, if that matters, and was curious to see if maybe I have the slightest chance of being successful one day.

Law is the type of carrier that you will have to ALWAYS continue studying, updating, learning the new laws, etc. There are an insane amount of lawyers out there and the older we are the hardest it is to succeed in this field. Not to mention that like you said you will be in debt for something you are not sure you will get your money back for those loans + survive. I would go for the Real Estate or Loan Officer license because your investment is very little if any, most anyone out there can do it, the market is going to stabilize in about a year, and is very rewarding. (You won't have to defend a criminal knowing he/she is guilty) but rather help someone else fulfill a dream. Good luck!

Q:i have a internship who wants me to pay 149 dollars for classes to become one? im new into the world of real estate. Can someone please enlighten me

I's search for an accredit online course - that way you can go at your own pace, work if you want to while your taking the classes - I'd look into classes even after you get your license that are geared toward property management for investors and home owners are hiring them all the time and here anyway practically every agent does some management because the income of strictly sales can go up and down and during the slow sales times some do strictly evictions other do everything

Q:I would like to know everything there is about Real Estate from the difference from a broker an realtor and an agent. I also want to know school I could go to and the courses I should take so i can pass the Exam for the licensed also what are the best places for real estate in the United States right now. Everything there is to know . Any websites or if you yourself is a real state or a broker I would really appreciate if you could give me information on it thank you

Just google the Department of Real Estate for any State you want. Good luck. Broker = The person licensed and 100% responsible for all real estate activity that takes place in their office. Agent = A salesperson for a specific Broker. The AGENT is only an agent of the BROKER. The AGENT has no legal standing or authority on their own. Only BROKERS have legal standing an authority.
