If you want to work in real estate in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Rochester, or any other city in Minnesota, you must first obtain a Minnesota real estate license. To get your Minnesota real estate license, you must be at least 18 years old, complete Prelicensing Course 1 and the state licensing test, pass two more courses, and apply for your license. While the process of becoming a real estate agent is comparable in most jurisdictions, each state has its own set of requirements. The following are the seven steps to become a Minnesota real estate agent:

· You must be at least 18 years old.

You must be at least 18 years old and have legal residence in the United States.

· Sign up for Course I. Before taking the test, you must first finish Course I.

There are three 30-hour courses (Course I, II, and ll). However, just Course I is required before taking the test. Therefore, we provide four educational choices that meet the 90-hour requirement.

Despite the start of the COVID-19 epidemic last year, the Minnesota real estate sector recovered swiftly. Markets in the state are expected to continue their upward trend in 2021. With increasing demand, dwindling unemployment rates, and fast-rising house selling prices, real estate brokers throughout Minnesota should brace themselves for another successful year. The average home in Minnesota was priced at $274,571 in November 2020, a 5.8 percent rise year over year. Prices, meanwhile, show no signs of slowing, with Zillow predicting another 7.6 percent increase over the next year. Rising prices reflect the steady recovery of the state's economy, indicating that this year might benefit both agents and sellers while low-interest rates keep purchasers within reach.

Along with rising property prices, statewide home sales increased 15.8 percent year over year in November 2020. However, during the same period, days on the market decreased by a substantial 25.5 percent, from 51 to 38 days. Minnesota is a seller's market as 2021 unfolds, thanks to long-term low borrowing rates and unusually high demand.
