Study for the agent test, find a broker that’ll take you, pass the test.
Here’s one possibility (not a recommendation)

In Lousiana, our real estate class teaches mainly information that would fall into the categories of math principles and real estate law. Aside from that, I’d recommend you having finance, business, sales or marketing experience. These all can help. In LA you don’t need a college degree to be a real estate agent.
Procedures to become a real estate agent:
1) Take 2-6 weeks of courses at a real estate school.
2) Take two exams.
3) Pick a real estate company.
4) Start your real estate business.
Note, I’d interview with several local real estate companies to familiarize yourself with their commission plans and benefits. Then compare and choose.
Also, plan to have 2-3 months of living expenses saved up to give you time to make a sale or two… No need to stress out your first couple of months because the “money isn’t coming in”. Real estate deals generally take 30 days minimum from the contract, not counting the days you’re in the car with the buyer driving around or the days it takes to market a house.

they have prep courses at some colleges, jr colleges, or some brokers offices….you pass course and take the state sales exam. passing grade for sales in most states is 75. sales person must work for a broker for one year before they are eligible to take the brokers exam. same thing applies for brokers – take the brokers course, take your states test – passing grade is 80. then you can open your own brokerage
