Many people think being a real estate agent is a glamorous and well paying position. And yes, it can be, but those stories are harder to find than they used to be. What most people do not realize is what it takes to become a Real Estate Agent, not to mention what it takes to BE a Real Estate Agent.
After all the studying, taking and passing the exam you then have to find someone who will allow you to work from their office. Not to mention, the telephone duty and the long hours, including every weekend.
For an independent contractor, there is very little independence involved. Now with the down turn in the industry in many areas, the competition is heavier than ever and the customer loyalty can easily become a thing of the past. You can spend your time showing someone home after home, only for them to stop at an open house and buy from another agent.
Those long hours also include a lot of down time. Totally non-productive time required of every agent. The Sunday afternoons at open houses or the long days pulling "phone duty" at the office.
If only you could use that time more productively and make money while you are doing so.
But there is a way. The Home Based Business industry is one of the fastest growing segments of the economy. The hours are flexible so you can just drop what you are doing and show a home when you need to. You can work anytime you choose and from ANYWHERE, since all is required is a cell phone and a computer, which you probably have with you everywhere you go anyway.
Even though it is called Home Based, it is anything but that. It should be called, Anywhere-Based Business. Instead of wasting time waiting on clients to show, you can use the time to actually generate an income, a real and substantial income.
For those who work on commission, there is no better way to supplement or replace your income.
You can have the lifestyle you deserve and provide a wonderful lifestyle for your family. Working with Real Estate Agents directly, I've been hearing a lot of complaints lately. The question is do you want to be a whiner/complainer who is reactive or a doer/earner who is proactive? The only "excuse" that remains is YOU! Don't get in your own way.
If you are already implementing this strategy, then KUDOS to you! If you haven't found something that works well withing your business and your lifestyle, maybe I can help. Please understand, however, that I work only with those who are serious about committing themselves to their goals. If your goal is big enough to get you excited, then get in touch with me.
Success in business and in life is up to you. Take a chance, make it happen. You and your family deserve it!
To Your Success...
