rewarding, yet tiresome occupations out there. Whether the
rewards outweigh the downfalls of the position really does
depend on the person looking into the career. If you are a
family-oriented person or someone who likes to spend a lot of
time to themselves or enjoying the more leisurely things in life
and you are really not looking to give these things up (at least
for a while), real estate may not be the right gig for you.
Generally, getting settled into the real estate business can
take up to six months, or even a year! Of course, a year does
sound like an extremely long time to get into an occupation, but
if you think about it and take into consideration all of the
steps that are involved, that time frame is fairly reasonable.
All real estate agents start out in pre-licensing schools. Pre
licensing schools are basically classes that teach prospective
real estate agents the ins and outs of the business itself. In
such classes, laws, dos and don'ts of the business, basic rules,
and sales tips are all discussed in detail. Pre licensing real
estate classes can take up to three whole months to complete,
and successful completion of the classes should lead to a

successful passing of the real estate examination. Passing the
real estate exam is nothing like the SAT however; it takes long
hours of studying minute little details as well as broad, more
general real estate information to successfully complete the
course and pass the exam the first time. And passing the exam on
the first time is always the goal! After completing the required
pre licensing courses and passing the real estate licensing
exam, there is the actual time frame that it takes to get into
business to consider. Of course, you are going to have to decide
if you want to go into business for yourself or go to work for a
real estate company, such as RE/MAX or Century 21. Do take into
consideration that it might not be the smartest idea in the

secretary? I didn't think so. The best advice is to start out at
