I have always been interested in commercial real estate. Mainly just the part of helping business owners find the right property and help them get into it by working with the owners etc. What type of education or background is best in order to enter into this market? I would ideally someday like to own my own commercial real estate leasing company
Education – obtain your real estate license
Training – work for a commercial real estate brokerage firm
No formal background or even high school diploma required to work in real estate.
Most states require you to attend a real estate vocational school for a couple of months, then take a state test to get your license to sell realestate.
After working as a sales agent for a few years, you can take a couple of classes on being a real estate broker and then own and operate your own company. You must have 3 yrs sales experience in my state before you can apply to be a broker. It varies with each state.
