The real estate business is a one man show. You are the boss of your own company. Some REALTORS? don't do well and others do. It really depends on your personality, how hard you work, how well you network etc. If you need inspiration, this industry is not meant for you. This is a self motivating industry where it's no one's job to keep you hyped up and perky - you have to do it yourself. The market will always be unpredictable. What goes up must come down and vice versa. No one can accurately predict the market. There are always new REALTORS? that come in when the market is booming but most of them aren't around in such a stagnant market. It really depends if you have the finances to stay in the game long enough to turn over a few deals during the year to stay afloat. You have to calculate in your administration fees, franchise fees, board fees, errors and omissions insurance etc EVERY MONTH. If you can't cover those fees, then you're going to be drowning.
