Before becoming a real estate broker and building a reputation as Yonce
has, you’ll want to consider points like the following:
- Education – Regardless of your location, you’ll be required to complete pre-licensing education to break into the industry. The requirements vary by region, though, so you should check local real estate commission regulations to verify what is needed to get licensed.
- Licensing – After completing your preliminary education, you’ll need to pass real estate exams for local and national regulations. These often include a background check, exam fees and a licensing fee.
- Portfolio – A well-built portfolio can be a real estate professional’s most valuable tool. The best way to start building your portfolio is to find a mentor and network in your personal time as well. Many mentors split commission checks and, at the same time, will help you learn the profession.
- Brokerage – Selecting a real estate brokerage is required for real estate agents and brokers to practice. Brokers typically require additional training and they serve as valuable resources during your early years in the trade.
