Real estate agents (sales licensees)must be licensed by the state's Department of Real Estate. The process is similar for each state, with some major differences. For one thing, real estate laws vary from state to state. In some states, real estate transactions require the participation of an attorney. That is not the case in Arizona, where a licensed real estate agent is able to prepare a sales contract and complete the transaction without the assistance of an attorney. But first, they need to be licensed by the state of Arizona.
