What route would one take to become a real estate agent or broker and possibly more in the future?

ppmaggoo asked:


I would like to futher my education in college with a base in business b/c I hope and plan to own a business one day. I have always been interested in Real Estate and I love architecture, design, traveling etc and enjoy working with people. What route should I take if I want to go to college but at the same time I know I dont need college to become a real estate agent. AND are their other professions dealing with real estate that in fact need a higher education to qualify for those jobs?

    Seems like I’ve answered this a few times. I’m a Realtor who used to work in Architecture. I would recommend a study in business or marketing if you want to go to school but want something that will give some flexibility down the road. Their are careers in real estate where a real estate focused degree can help. Usually they involve pushing developments through local city governments for approval. I wouldn’t recommend it though. Also, some commercial real estate jobs require schooling but you’ll find they don’t pay as well as being and agent or broker.
