How do part time real estate agent make money when their not selling homes?
Q. I'm freshly into real estate. I'm curious as to how other people make a living when the market is down and you have no homes listed with you being sold. Even full time agents also. What type of ways do you find income rather than selling a home. I would like any experienced real estate person to answer.

A. I have been a Realtor for 22 years and have worked full time and it is my primary source of income.

How do you get a local real estate investment club to learn about your house for sale?
Q. I have a house for sale at an excellent price, no realtors involved, and want real estate investors to take note. How can I persuade the person in charge of our local real estate club to distribute my e-mail regarding my property? They get solicited all the time, I'm sure.

What is required to become a real estate agent?
Q. I'm thinking of majoring in real estate and had a few questions for this job. What are majors required to become a real estate agent? Are there any colleges that specialize in that major? How about the required degrees? How many years of education will it take? I also live in California to be specific.

A. You attend classes for 1-3 months at a "licensing" school. When you pass their test, you take the state test. You pay a fee to the state. You interview at realty offices. You choose one. They train you and you go to work. No education required. THink of Bill Gates; he dropped out of school..
