What are the startup costs to become a real estate agent? How much are the fees? How much does a real estate license cost?

This video will show you where your money is going and how much you should save to become a real estate agent.

To become a real estate agent, there are expenses and costs that go into starting your career. There are three main areas where these expenses will come into effect:
- Getting your real estate license
- Starting at a brokerage
- Business expenses

Getting your real estate license is an exciting opportunity. To meet the requirements of California, you must pass an accredited real estate educational institution and pass the state exam. That means you need to finance:
- An accredited real estate school cost
- State examination fee
- Real estate license fee

When you sign up for a brokerage, there are also fees and expenses associated with the brokerage. These fees and expenses also come with benefits. They will help you perform more effectively in your job and give you career resources. These resources will help you develop professionally and earn more leads. You can expect to pay for fees and expenses such as:
- Brokerage desk fees
- Joining the local brokerage board
- A multiple listing service (MLS)

Then after you pay these recurring fees and expenses, you will also need to finance the business costs. These are costs associated with running your business. This includes:
- Advertising
- Website hosting and maintenance
- Business cards
- Travel
- Open house expenses (bottle waters, open house signs, etc.)

So, how do you afford all of these costs? There are a few ways you can afford all of the expenses and fees associated with your job.
1. They can be tax write-offs
2. Make one sale
3. Work part-time and ease your way into your carer (another job to finance these expenses)

Becoming a real estate agent comes with the expenses and fees needed to start your career. But, when you do, you will find that these expenses will wither away when you start selling property. It's a small price to pay for a lifetime of fulfillment.

I just want to THANK YOU! I recently passed my exam here in MI. I was so lost trying to figure the rest out. I tried a couple brokers but had zero support. I didn’t know why I needed to join a board or MLS, until your videos! I am now a member of a board and MLS and know why I am lol. Thank you for all your support. It’s vital in this business and you are literally the only one I found willing to talk about and explain so much of what is newbies need to know!
