Hi Lynn,
I just started. I am doing mine by coorespondence. My Mom is not in real estate anymore, she is 80. She moved out west to be close to me and should have continued but she had to get her BC licence and didn't want to go through the test again. If she knew then that she could have done it by coorespondence she would have done that, but did not know at the time. It does cost quite a bit other than the licence part. There are fees for belonging to boards, desk fees, advertising. I plan to take it slow and find an office with the lowest fees. My boyfriend works for Remax but he has been in it for a long time and gets a high commission rate. He advised me to go to a smaller office first until I get established.
