Can a 17 year old take real estate classes?

In the US, some states allow students under the age of 18 to take real estate classes, which often leads to a required license to get into the real estate business. If you are under the age of 18, you may need parental consent to enroll in real estate classes.

For example, North Carolina requires that students be at least 18 years old to enroll in a Real Estate Broker or Real Estate Salesperson Education course. However, some states, like California, allow students to take real estate courses as young as 16 years old.

To be sure about the requirements in your state, it is best to check with the real estate licensing board or the educational institution offering the classes.
