Is it long hours and does it require a lot of work? I am thinking about changing my major to real estate but is it hard to get jobs in and do you have to be really smart like way above average?
Are you worried about commissions? The seller pays all of them. What you need is a decent Real Estate Lawyer to close the deal.
very logical questions! a; intense focus, yes. Long hours? Maybe. YOU need to understand tort law and finance; both will be taught to you. b; a lot of work, probably. c; RE has few jobs..Developers hire staff, builders who are subs need staff d; you have to be able to think---what is a good solution for this client or customer? e; what might be an ideal house or business site or sq footage..... f; for those buying--where? size of house? what actions RE agents take are safe, or legal and which would not be legal? --what are landlords permitted to do and what are they not? RE licensees are ADVISERS to buyers or sellers --like an attorney but not quite. and if you go this route, and seek to list houses or deal with franchise RE agencies, you must FEED NAR and become a realtor. available to guide you
