The process to become a real estate agent will vary from state to state. It will usually involve a minimum age and pre-licensing education requirement, and for brokers some type of experience is standard. Additionally, a background check and real estate license application are standard requirements. Most states (but not all) have more than one type of license (salesperson & broker) and the definition of what one can do with those licenses will also vary.
