Here is the deal. Helping people buy and sell homes is probably only 20% of your duty. Much of your time is spent analyzing the market, updating your information on financing, keeping posted on current regulations, and being 'ready to serve' AND maintaining and feeding a database of prospective clients.
People with good work habits, who routinely put in 40, 50, even sixty hour weeks will have a head start in real estate. This means that you must be willing to show up and put in your time, especially in today's market.
Are you ready to challenge the mainstream? While most college graduates and career shifts seem to include trading a job for another job, real estate is about trading your job for your own business. With your own business there is no glass ceiling. It is up to you to do it. Your effort and skills directly affect your income.
If you like homes, dealing with people, and the idea of operating your own business on your own schedule, then please talk to an agent that has attained the income you are looking for. Contact a variety of companies. Don't pick one just because your best friend is there or it is close to where you live. The are good reasons to start your search there, but make sure you find the support and training you need. AND make sure as a new agent you are earning the highest possible commission you can. Not all offices of the same company are created equal. Look around and see who shares your values and goals.
