Real Estate is a big business loaded with profit but also loaded with risks. Nothing happens without the risk factor but if you want to bet as successful as Tim DeCapua in the real estate business it’s wise to learn what he did to get to where he is.

Get educated. You must take pre-licensing courses to even begin your journey into the real estate world. Understand that the requirements vary depending on the state you reside in. Idaho, where Tim DeCapua lives, requires two courses totaling 90 hours of education. You’ll need to contact your state’s real estate commission for your state’s requirements for licensing.

Find a brokerage. real estate brokerage is the agency where real estate agents and brokers work. Since working with a broker is a requirement in order to practice as a real estate agent, you will need to contact a broker before graduating from your training course. When you search for a broker, think about its reputation and if they offer any additional training. Check broker reputations by reading online comments, asking friends and neighbors who they’ve had experience with and getting advice from your instructor on choosing a brokerage.

Getting Licensed. Getting licensed means passing the tests and exams needed. One of these exams may be a background check and be ready to pay at least $200 give or take depending on your state for exam fees.
