Real Estate License, becoming sales person?

xoxoxo: Real Estate License, becoming sales person?
I want to become a real estate “sales person” but I have lot of questions…
Should I get it through a community college, or is there a way I can go to a real estate company like century 21, Cold well Banker, Prudential, or first team, and have them train me for free, or pay but be able to automatically become an agent there, and is it HARD to get into a company??
I KNOW it is a crappy market, but it is really what I want to do, and I live in a very dense area so I don’t think it would be as hard, but I don’t know much about it…
HELP!!!

a; the most expensive, slowest way is how I stated; via
a community college.
b; the RE firms offer to finance RE schools normally but now,
I am not sure.

it is a piece of cake being accepted by one of those firms as
it costs them nothing to hire you and they almost always
gain from it.

you should go to an attendance RE school in your area,
and interview RE brokers/office managers and consider
both paying for your own ed and
consider whether you want join a split [commission] office
or a 100% office.

also a few RE firms offer desk fees of 25-50 a mo, much
better than the big companies who want 800-1500 a mo.

finally, you need to decide if you wan to rep sellers or
buyers. YOU will find that while still legal in most states,
dual AGENCY IS AT MINIMUM immoral and likely unethical
even WHEN THE other party permits it.

NO buyer can get the best deal possible when the
same agent rep’s the seller and this is the biggest
thorn in the side of AGENCY. Being obligated to BEING
FAIR is not the same as doing the best you can do.

[lastly, most chain firms require membership with
NAR which I personally think is a violation of
Sherman Anti trust laws.]
