What kind of educational background do you need in order to go into the real estate field?

There is no formal education background needed to go into the real estate field, I personally know High School graduates who have done very well in Realty sales and Real Estate Investing.

Courses such as Economics, Marketing, Accounting, Paralegal, and Law certainly would help, but not compulsory

However, A lot of things have to be learned to go into the field, there is a formal training offered by most brokerages to pass the licensing exam that is required in most states/countries, In the USA there are also specialized schools for real estate and real estate investing.

Things such as real estate law, contracts and obligations, bank mortgages and financing procedures are necessary to be successful in the field.

Mentorship programs by older agents or offered by brokerages is a better form of formal education background as most of the things that need to be learned are from experience of agents on how to do listings, showings, security, negotiations, marketing, and contract closing.

Deciding to become a real estate agent is a major move in anyone's career journey. People enter the field of real estate from various occupations and careers  and at various stages of their lives. Everyone has different reasons why they think real estate is the correct career choice for them. But, one question consistently comes from people looking to enter the real estate industry: "How do I become a real estate agent?"

The simple answer is, “it depends.” It mostly depends on where an individual wants to practice real estate.

To be eligible to become a licensed real estate agent  in DUABI, you must:

1.     Have a valid residency Visa

2.     Have to pass RERA Exam

3.     Have to join with a Licensed Broker

i dont think there is educational background required for real estate

all depends how good you are to keep a good relations with your customer.

But this is the biggest concern right now because there should be an education system , there should be only professionals who have worked hard and smart should be present in the field.

RICS and some other top institutions have started providing specialized education in these unorganized sectors with a view to create a change and deliver only tailored professionals, Luckily I am one of them.

There are some of institutes and academies present a courses in this field as subjects,  Evaluating Real Estate Markets, Commercial Real Estate Development , Global Real Estate Markets, Real Estate Management for example, market need has created the concept of academies and institutes to find some specialist people in this sector. and from important this sector and his effect for Economic sector . and global and local market . At the end, any courses in Real Estate sector will lead to support and reinforce The real estate professionals.

The course to study is estate management, this course will give one everything one need to know about all that concerns real estate.

In any Industry, Patience, Perseverence & Determination are the key factors affecting your success.

Real Estate is no Rocket Science & even a Matriculate person can earn millions, if he is street smart, sharp & agile in his dealings.

One needs to keep themselves updated with all the ongoing developments in the market in order to be able to, not faulter in front of a prospective client.

Practical Assessment of a situation, under a given scenerio is of more relevance in any field, rather than any set formula for success.
