Become a Real Estate Agent

A career in real estate provides flexibility and freedom to set your own pace. Income directly reflects your efforts, with few limits on what astute, hard-working men and women can earn. Successful people in real estate are goal-oriented, persevering, self-motivated, ambitious and people-oriented. The rewards of a real estate career are a potential for high earnings, status in the community, autonomy, time freedom, helping people, the intellectual challenge and the satisfaction from those accomplishments.

Considering a career in real estate?

To get your real estate license, you must take a 75-hour Salesperson Pre-license course (or equivalent college course or reciprocal out-of-state course) and pass an examination set by the Georgia Real Estate Commission.
