Have you ever had anyone ask... "What is it you actually DO as a real estate broker?" Can't you just see the endless list that starts going through your head only to respond with "It's different everyday." Broker/Owners and trainers how often do you have new or prospective agents come in the first day and look around thinking"so, what is it that I do?"
There are some really wonderful statistics and information about the occupation of Real Estate Broker posted on the U.S. Department of Labor Website (Bureau of Labor Statistics). They have done an excellent job of putting a definition into what a real estate broker does.
They start out by letting the reader know that real estate brokers often work on the evening and weekends and that their income is sensitive to the economic shifts. It also warns that although there is a low entry level there is a lot of competition from experience agents.
This seems to be a great resource for those that have people in other fields considering a career in real estate.
