I am thinking about becoming a real estate agent and was wondering what the good and bad points are from people who actually do this job. Is it a good career to have? why or why not?

Hi there, I'm a real estate agent in Southern California. Its a really great job, you have alot of flexability in your schedule and the money is good. The down part is you are paid on commission only and you do alot of work without being paid for it sometimes. It is also hard to budget, so I would recommend having some money put away until you can build up your business. Good luck!

Attend open residences. Also, choose up the neighborhood truly property books that they deliver out at no cost. Find a couple of residences you favor and contact the directory agent and ask to peer the condominium. That will deliver you a danger to satisfy a couple of neighborhood dealers and spot if there may be any person you mesh good with. We used Remax with our final acquire/and promote. However, I could no longer base my choice on a particular manufacturer title....each and every realtor is distinctive and designated. Try to stay with a manufacturer that has a extra good identified title (none of the ones discounted expenses areas or tiny corporations) so you realize you're getting probably the most correct knowledge viable. If viable, it could be excellent if the agent was once virtually your age, in order that they are able to relate to why you're watching for targeted points or places, and will bigger foresee different houses that can be superb for you that possibly you're overlooking as being relatively unfamiliar with the field. Good success! Look at a number of residences earlier than making any presents!

The good points are: You can make a lot of money and you own your own business
The Bad Points: It's a dog eat dog. They are ruthless people!!
You better not be a minnow and best know how to swim with the sharks (Great Whites)
You yourself must become RUTHLESS or else you won't make much money. And after being ruthless will you be able to go home at night and sleep well without wondering who is going to do it to you.
Best of Luck

A friend did it. Good money if you get hot properties to show. Downside, you can kiss your weekends/evenings goodbye.
