What steps and courses are required to get a real estate license? Do I have to be a college graduate? Roughly how much would the entire process cost me? By the way, I KNOW there is a test involved, I just want to know what courses/classes/books will help me in that process.

You just have to take a test. It costs about 300. No eduction required.
Edited addition: I am sorry. You did ask what was required, not what would help you. There are absolutely no requirements at all. A high school drop out can be an agent. Only brokers have education requirements. The real estae test is VERY easy, anyone could pass it.

Janet is right, you just take a test, but its best to study b4 taking the test. Most real estate firms run courses which teach you what you need to know. call up the firms and ask them if they charge anything to join the groups. Usually the big firms i.e. Century 21 won’t charge you if you become an agent for their firm.
