In other words, not the traditional way that real estate is transacted.

I’m looking into getting my real estate license and wanted to see what the process is. Should I find a class and then take the exam? Do I have to take the class or can I get away with the study manuals? I’ve been buying/selling houses for a couple of years now and wasn’t sure if there was too much info, besides real estate laws that I would need to learn.

After that do you just have to find a brokerage to work under to list properties?

Thanks,

Happy New Year.

I am looking for the best place to work at. I am getting my real estate license soon and would like to work for a great company where they provide training and don’t just throw you out there. Oh, I have a full time job as well. Thanks!

I have been in the real estate market for about 7 years. I started as a Loan Coordinator, then credit officer/assoc. underwriter, call center manager, Product manager. The market is slowly disappearing, I’m unemployed now. I think I should try another field, maybe Financial planning. I don’t know if this market is already saturated, with other fellow real estate professionals. The market is only going to get worse, what should I do?

My fiance is considering becoming licensed to sell real estate. I am a first year law student. I have learned a little about real estate transactions and how they work. I understand the roles of both the broker and the attorney, but I’m wondering if my husband-to-be and I will be able to use our skills together to start our own business. Will I have to have a separate practice, or can the real estate lawyer be a part of the broker’s company?

I’m purchasing my own home and in about 4 or 5 years I hope to be able to purchase one or two more – and grow from there.

What do I need to know to begin a real estate career? Is it better to rent houses out OR try to sell them for a profit?

What are some of the best resources (especially online) for real estate beginners?

I’ve recently become interested in real estate appraisal as a career. Can anyone give me the exact requirements for certification in California? Also, does anybody know what the job market looks like for appraisers in San Diego?
