I work at a dead end job. I want to quit and get into real estate. I know there is a lot of potential in that field. How does one get started? Is selling houses difficult? What are the requirements? What do real estate firms look for in a potential employee?
Looking for a ski-in/out chalet or Mont Tremblant Condo with Hot tubs and Pools? Try the the luxury Panache Mont Tremblant or Tremblant resort condos like the convenient Equinox Mont Tremblant or featuring the Bondurant Mont Tremblant or ski-in/out at the Altitude Mont Tremblant

Yes you need to contact your local Board of Realtors. Get a license. Alot of people think its an easy job and it’s not. Not to scare you….just a reality check. You CAN do it, but go in with your eyes open. You will need money upfront for starting out. Ask an agent about these costs. It can be expensive while your waiting to make you first sale, which can take awhile. It’s also a cutthroat buisiness with alot of 2-faced people. But if you can get through your 1st year, you can probably make it. I’d call some agencies and ask if they are hiring agents and if so, do they help get your license?

you don’t need a license to sell houses, but you do need one to be a real estate agent. Ironic, no?

Yes. Contact a real estate company in your area and ask them where you can take the course to become licensed.
