The rules vary by state. Check in with your state real estate commission and it’s association of REALTORS for sure. I am an agent in Texas and here you have to have graduated high school to become licensed. College just helps cut down on the number of real estate classes that you have to take before you can take your test.
Good Luck–it’s a fun field!

You don’t need a college degree to get a real estate license. In most states you just need to be 18, take a handful of real estate courses (either online or at a community college or similar), and pass a state licensing exam.
