How to sell a real estate fast?

I’m planning to be a real estate broker but I don’t have any idea how to sell it fast. I heard selling one is pretty hard but if you sold one, you earn a lot of money.
I’m a college student by the way but I want to earn money for my future plans. Can anyone teach me how to and if you have a book that will teach me, it would be great. Thanks.

Being a *broker* takes a lot of time and money, and requires a license above that of a realtor. To become a realtor you need to take several classes off the bat, and more if you college credits don’t transfer. If you quick about it, and smart, it can take you less than 6 months and a total of about $1,000 to get your license, pay dues and membership fees to become an active realtor to be licensed to sell property.
Many people think it’s easy money- but it’s not. You have to pay plenty of money up front, and you don’t get paid until the home sells, which could safely be several months. I can’t tell you how many newbies come through our office thinking it’ll be a piece of cake, only to quit after a few months. It’s a career, not a part time job. It can easily turn into something "small on the side" but only once you are established, you simply cut down your clientele.
Otherwise your only other option would be to become a property flipper. But again this is a field that requires a lot of knowledge and experience to make money at. So if you have bigger goals than becoming a realtor, I suggest you try to find something else.
You need a license to sell real estate. It is not a part time job.
