I was hoping some other ontario real estate agents would share how they got started, what they put in, and what they got out of their careers.
Hi: Whitch ever profession you pick, most commonly the succes or failure in it hinges on YOU. I am now not very knowlegeable approximately the state of economic system there in Ontario. If the situation is the equal as in USA, it's rough time to make well cash as a truly property agent. Certainly there's no assurance to make cash at any place at any time. You need to have additionally heard approximately the eighty : 20 legislation. eighty % of the men and women in so much fields of undertaking simply get by way of whilst 20 % take advantage of cash. If you get your self correctly expert and are disciplined to head the additional mile, you've gotten extra probabilities of good fortune. I might additionally recommend that you just seek advice the sellers on your field after which come to a decision should you desire to make a plunge. CHAUD K
Not a real estate agent, nor do I know where you are in Ontario, but in Windsor, the housing market is in a pretty serious downfall. In my neighbourhood, there are a lot of houses for sale, but that's mainly because of the massive layoffs from GM/Ford/Chrysler--the highest employers by far. I actually bought a house a little less than a month ago for $220,000, when the original price was $280,000. The real estate agent said that the house was for sale for about 4 weeks, and she had been dropping the price by $10,000 every week--the people selling the house were also in a rush to move, so she accepted a low price. The economy will pickup again soon though, because it's not the first time that this has happened. I'd say in a couple of months, some positive signs will appear, and within 2-3 years, the economy will be more or less where it was a couple of years ago.
