In Florida we're required to be a sales agent for a couple years before we can become a broker. It's going to differentiate from state to state. First thing that you want to do is make sure you have your required licensing. You can do this by contacting one of your local real estate schools. The best place to find them would be on line. Simply do a search on Yahoo or Google and type in 'real estate education' in whatever your desired location or city is. That's going to accumulate a list for you to look at. Contact those local schools and ask them what their schedule looks like when the classes are being offered. And sign up for the classes accordingly whatever works for you. Once you've completed that course, you're going to be required to take the state example. It's very important that you study hard. And once you've passed that exam, is when the real fun starts and you're ready to start working on your business plan. Okay? I'm Richard Blake in Clearwater, Florida.
