The specific requirements for continuing education also vary from state to state, but most states require real estate agents to complete a certain number of hours of continuing education every year to keep their license active.<\/p><p>If you are thinking about becoming a real estate agent, be sure to research the real estate license requirements in your state and make sure you are prepared to meet them.<\/p><p>The requirements may seem daunting at first, but with the right preparation, you can easily become a real estate agent and start building your career in this exciting field.<\/p><p>Once you have your license, there are a few additional steps you&#8217;ll want to do right away including setting access to your local MLS, getting an electronic e-key to enter properties, and probably getting some electronic lockboxes!<\/p><p>You will have to renew your real estate license with some post-licensing course hours and some continuing education requirements.
