Real Estate Agent in California?
I am still 17 years old, in my senior year of high school. I know you cannot take the liscense exam until you are 18 and must take courses. I am wondering if you can take courses whether that would be online or class courses, while you are 17? (my birthday is in may). I am going to college next year majoring in business with real estate emphasis, and minoring in international business. Any help or suggestions into becoming a sucessful agent and starting young will be great!
Thank you
Follow you dream and study now. Take the test once your 18. While you’re going to school, refer deals to another realtor. You won’t have time to do it yourself. And clients want to work with full-time Realtors. This way, you can concentrate on school and gain some real estate experience at the same time. Tell your family & friends what you’re doing. You can’t be shy about this. Ask them to keep an eye out for people they know looking to buy or sell. Refer the deals to your full-time Realtor partner. They do the rest of the work, but you still get paid. For licensed real estate sales people or brokers, the usual commission for a referral is 25% of the company’s commission. On a $500,000 sale, for example, 25% of 3% is a cool $3750.
Do that once once or twice a term – not a bad part-time job that can turn into a career. The real estate market is cyclical. By the time you’re done college, we might be experiencing another real estate boom. Good luck!
