Becoming a real estate agent at 18?

You have to be 21, But you can get a job as a secretary and offer them to sit on a open houses if you do the sale office will pay you a bonus. Good Luck!

You do not have to be 21, or at least not in some states. I received my real estate license at the age of 19 and have been/and will be working as an "assistant" until this summer when I will start being a full time real estate agent. Most likely a company will take you in, but keep in mind that selling "expensive houses" and gaining "respect" will be harder than you originally imagined, especially if you are just selling as a side job.

Being a Realtor is a great job, but either you like it or you hate it, there is no in between. If you can, go into a Real Estate office where you live, pick the "oldest" and "nicest" Agent there and ask him or her if you could shadow them for a little while. Then you see how they are working and what they do. You might be even able to help and do some searches for them, you see how contracts are written and what they are doing on the phone.

Then you can decide if you would like to become a Realtor. On top of it, if you decide you just love it, you will learn a lot what will help you for your future carreer, for your Real Estate School and for your state exam.

If you find an experienced Agent who would give you this opportunity you will not have to deal with your young age and respect, you have always the "older" agent to fall back on if problems should accure.

Ideally, the tips we've given you will offer you some assistance with getting off to a solid begin. Be that as it may, as any prepared veteran will let you know, this is in no way, shape or form a thorough record of the potential difficulties you'll face as a land operators. It might be a while before you begin letting the big dog eat consistently, and you can make sure you'll have your offer of disappointments and clumsy or humiliating minutes. Be that as it may, don't get disheartened. In the same way as other employments that require a high level of social association, land is best learned by doing, by connecting with whatever number leads, customers, specialists, and representatives as could be allowed. So get the opportunity to work!

Go work with your contact as a TRANSACTION COORDINATOR once you get licensed.

This is an EXCELLENT way to learn the business from the ground up.

LOL indeed thinking you are going to sell a few expensive houses.

The people buying said expensive houses have dozens of friends to sell them those houses.

Unless you have a close personal relationship with the buyers of big, expensive houses it's likely you will sell NO expensive houses.

You have to realize that real estate is not really a "job" and it's very unlikely that you will make money trying to do it part time. It's hard for full time agents to make money. There is a lot more to learn about real estate then you think.

If you feel you have "a calling" for the business, then go for it and do it.

There's nothing wrong with

A] getting "a foot in the door" - getting a little taste of the business;

B] getting your education, accumulating the credits to sit for your state's real estate sales person's exam,

C] training with a first-class organization,

D] and then when you pass the exam,

E] you'll "hit the ground running" - ready to make your mark.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

VTY,

Yes. Im 19 years old now, but was 18 when I got my license. I attend college full time but I plan on activating my license with a broker this summer.

Dear Young one,

You can do real estate business, If you have some legal formalities, local govt. property rules and regularizations and Negotiable Instruments Act etc., and you have to attain minimum 21 years

Sorry, but in most states you have to be 18 years old (21 in other states).
