Being a real estate agent now, that left a $100k+/year career to pursue it, I can tell you everyone told me it would take years to build a real estate business. Or they fed me the same BS as ^^ that the first few years for anyone you don't make much money. That only applies to people that want to do this part time to "get started". That's a complete cop out. If you are a self starter, motivated, organized and have some marketing skill, you can make money right away. I had made the average yearly salary in the first 60 days of having my license in one of the worse markets in the country because I refused to fail and basically "wait out the first year". My area is notorious for agents that don't answer the phone, call back, or get out or bed before 10am. The first four or five months I had my license I was up at 6am writing email blast (before I had an automated system) posting ads online for houses I had listed, or for my services as a buyers agent, and designing my own marketing items because I didn't want to give someone else money for things I could do. If you want to do real estate, realize it is the perfect example of you get out what you put in it. If you want to work a full time job and do it part time, you're going to get part time money and part time client retention. If you treat it right, and see that it is yor own business and its all up to you on how much money you make your potential is limitless. I've been doing it for 18 months and I make twice as much money as I did in my previous career. Remember as long as you work for someone else you are just earning them all the money. A JOB is just that, Just Over Broke.
