Ok, International realtors are usually incredibly successful (they only go international because their working limitations aren't currently met in their current country). Also they usually have realtors that work for them (who have a great sense of specific local areas), while the international realtor will have a good sense of the local area. Also international realtors will usually sell more expensive properties (as in multimillion dollar homes).
You don't actually NEED any qualifications to become a realtor (because in reality, anyone can do it - however to be a good realtor is something else). Most agencies will probably require you to have an MBA or some business degree (so they know that they aren't letting an average ho show their preciuous homes to their precious clients) & also some great (as in very very high) knowledge of the places who will be working.
Many interior designers, architects and experienced salesmen (e.g. car salesman, etc) become realtors - so if you really want to become a realor you should pursue one of these routes first to gain experience.
Also by the way, the term 'realtor' is only used in north america and is unknown in europe - instead use 'estate agent' (assuming that you want to go to a english speaking country).
