How can I start a real estate business. Do I need a broker?. What does a broker do. Do I need a special licence.

What do you want to do in RE.
If you want to invest you should go to

www.hopehousing.net then go to RE investors on front page

there you can invest in Nashville TN for No money down. If you want to get with a lot of RE professionals you should go to

there you can do a custom search for RE professionals all around the world and they will set you up with everyone you need to learn everything. Its free, I find all my business associates there. Very helpful welcoming group, take a look.

Every state will be different... but the basics for Texas are...

1. Agents need to be licensed
2. You get licensed by going to classes and taking the test(s)
3. You can't take the test unless you are sponsored by a broker

Try searching for "your state real estate commission or agency" and see if you can find the governing body.

:-) Well you need both, a brokers license or a broker who is licensed and a license to practice real estate.
