I'm guessing this person has not heard of Google.
Here are some of their past posts (verbatim):
- "I am moving to Austin and would like to know where I can find African American Muslims"
- "Does anyone know where I can buy some land in the delvalle or bastrop area?"
- "Does anyone know where I can apply for a home based job in Austin, tx"

awesome. they have success written all over them.

There are R.E. schools, cost varies but you're looking at maybe $500 - $800 and up depending on coursework and if you want other certifications. There is a state exam you'll have to pass. You might check the Community College system to see if there are any other alternatives that way which may cost less. Contact your state Real Estate Association or Austin R.E. Assn for info, they should have links.

Do a web search and you'll find plenty both classroom and online courses. Make sure they'll be accredited for the state(s) you're interested in being an agent.

Good Luck.

Try Austin Community College. Sounds like you need to take actual classes. Be prepared, once you get your license, to have at least a year's living expenses saved up or have a spouse with a job that will support you both for that year.

You can get information at the Texas Real Estate Commission on approved providers of education, as well.

Hello you might try contacting the Austin Board of Realtors, I'm looking to relocate from the Northeast and pursuing a real estate license is one of the first tasks I'd like to achieve when I'm relocated. Austin here I come.
