A man first becomes licensed to be a real-estate agent whenever a real estate salesperson's permit is obtained by one in the state in which he/she selects to practice his build. For the person to obtain a license, the possible nominee must take certain subjects and required class work, and then must pass a state licensure examination on property law and practice. Salespersons should must eventually be connected with, and work under the power of an accredited real estate agent.
