Yes, most states do not require a college education to become a real estate agent. Instead, you do have to comply with the requirements of your state for licensing, finish the necessary training and pass the exam for licensing. The key to being a real estate agent is not getting a university degree, but getting to know how to do it yourself by studying professional education, legal matters, and the nuts and bolts of real estate sales. Many agents have achieved success without attending college or university, by building connections with other agents and great service to clients.
