In order to become a realtor, you need to take a course which is two weeks in duration. You can find a list of approved schools on the Indiana Professional Licensing website at:http://www.in.gov/pla/bandc/estate/preed…
After that she would take a test (there is a fee for that, not sure how much probably around $100). It is easy to find a job as a realtor since they do not pay you. Most agencies will take you on and some even will reimburse your cost of schooling. As for income in the first year, most realtors will tell you that the first few years are very lean. You have marketing expenses, gas, etc. It is a business in some ways just like any other business. You have to build for the future. If you do it properly and are good at it you can build a successful business. Many fail at it just as any other business. Some tread water for many years just making enough to get by. It varies. When you look at real estate magazines you will see realtors with multi-page ads of listings, with a full staff. These are the people that are making a lot of money. You will not see the people that have one or two listings and that drive buyers around town all day long.
