I am thinking about starting a career in real estate. I just left my job due to too much time being spent away from home (4 days at a time). I don't need medical benefits and I really don't have many bills (probably around $1200 or so). So I guess my question is, is this something I can realistically do full time right out of the gate. I would be working with Prudential Realty.
you are one of the best agent, if you start a career in real estate and the place,location are also important
First, you'd better change your tag line. Marquis de Sade is not a catchy name which inspires trust in any business, but especially in real estate. Good grief. You can offer to do office work for one of the agents, but unless things are much busier in your area than they are in most parts of the country you won't have much to do. You can also work as a house sitter for open houses, work as a stager for new listings, put up and take down For Sale signs, work as a computer tech putting listings in the computer or updating listings and sales information. Get the basic courses under your belt and apprentice yourself to a good, strong agent. By the time you have the experience to work on your own, you'll be ready. First, though, change the tag line. Please.
I became a real estate agent 3 months ago in Canada, British Columbia. United states is on the Decline. I have been doing well finally after 3 months. Made a 3 million dollar commercial sale, but my first sale was a mobile home for 100 000$. A crappy mobile home for 100 000$ do the math and relocate my friend. Things are so hot up here its amazing. Vancouver, Okanagan, Island. Leave the states and start business up here. Im only 19 and even I can make a living at it. More than a decent one.
If you are looking to make a career change, we know that a lot of research must be done and many questions need to be answered. A career in real estate is not just a job, it’s a career. The interview process and qualifications are much different than most of the job postings that you see in the newspaper or on the various internet job sites. A career in real estate is more about you and your willingness to venture into an unknown field that you have no experience in. Real estate is much different than the normal 9-5 job. There are no specific qualifications that are required as many positions do. Some of the qualifications that are desirable in real estate are good people skills, determination, motivation, a strong desire to be successful and most of all, a genuine desire to help people.
