This well-meaning accounting department rep is in for a ride. Whatever joyful sparkle of youth left in their eyes has begun to slowly extinguish.
This one is priceless
It’s so good. I suppose in the US anyone can become a realtor, but you require a license here and a modicum of sanity.
In the US the laws vary by state. In Kansas you must:
- be 18 years or older
- be a US citizen or legal alien (minor problem here)
- have a high school diploma or equivalent
- take a 60 hour class
- pass the Kansas licensing exam
- pass a background check
Kansas also has one of the easiest exams in the US. Other states are more strict and have more difficult tests. CA’s test has a pass rate of around 50%. Even the most strict only requires 135 hours of training, though.
I know you can get a degree in real estate, but anyone can be a realtor, right? Like they don’t force you to have the degree, do they?
Depends on the state, in some places you need to pass an exam. Degrees are not a requirement though.
To be a realtor, you have to be certified by the National Realtor Association. Anyone can be a real estate agent.
