What are the qualifications to become a leasing agent for an apartment complex?

Do you need a college degree or is a high school diploma sufficient? I've worked at a bookstore for nearly 3 years now and that's the extent of my sales experience. I'm wanting to get into real estate development though and I'm going to college to pursue in regional planning, with a minor in business management. Is anyone a leasing agent that can help me out? What about leasing representatives for shopping malls or office buildings? Is that the same or is there more involved to it?

1. You probably have to start off in apartment leasing and then can move on to bigger things. If you get some experience and show success, companies will hire you no matter what your educational background.
