Great career and industry! To become a real estate agent you need a license in your state to practice. There is residential (people) and commercial real estate (businesses), explore one or both categories. Key traits for real estate agents are:
-Organization
-Sales skills
-Presentation
-Negotiation
-Building Relationships
-Industry Knowledge
-Networking
Business fundamental classes will be helpful, public speaking, research, finance, etc.
Good luck!

To become a real estate agent, specific high school classes aren’t required, but some can be beneficial. Focus on math to understand commissions and finances, and consider business or economics for a foundational grasp of the market. Communication and English classes will enhance your speaking and writing skills, which are essential when working with clients. After high school, you’ll need to complete a real estate licensing course and pass an exam, but for now, focus on building these foundational skills.
