How do you become a real estate salesperson?

Complete your state's required pre-licensing education, pass the state licensing exam, clear a background check where required, and affiliate with a sponsoring broker. Typical entry requirements are being at least 18 years old, holding a high school diploma or equivalent, and completing state-accredited pre-licensing courses. Every U.S. state licenses real estate salespersons; there is no federal license.
