text: what do you need to do to become a real estate agent?? i'm young so i have plenty of time to start taking classes and get started but i just want to know what step in need to take to get into this business? well i did work experience with one estate agents, that would help. the company i worked for was fairly large, so once you enter the company, they will give you training and advice on what qualifications to get. the best thing to do is to go into their offices and ask them.
