Summary: Real estate agents can have a long successful career as long as they take several steps to do so. A potential real estate agent must take the state-approved licensing course. Once you've gotten your license, a new real estate agent must get a job with a broker who can hold the license. After a few years with a broker, the real estate agent can go out on their own and get their own clients, launching their successful career.

Q: I have always had a great interest in being a real estate agent or working in the real estate field. Where can I get the best training for this career?

A: Being a real estate agent can be a great career, if you're willing to put in the time to really learn your stuff.

Education-wise, your state will require you to take a state-approved licensing course. You'll then have to sit for your state license. Next, you'll have to get a job with a broker who can hold your license for you.

What you should try to do is get one of the top firms in town to hire you. You should also try to get hired as an assistant for one of the best agents in the firm. There's no better way to learn about the business than watching a master up close.

After a year or two of working for a top agent, you'll probably be ready to start fielding your own clients. Good luck.
