Real Estate FAQ
Being a real estate agent can be a great career if you’re self-motivated, want unlimited earning potential, value a flexible schedule, and like the idea of being your own boss. However, it may not be the right fit if you need a predictable paycheck from the start or aren’t interested in networking, sales, and building relationships to grow your business.
This would usually depend upon the firm an agent affiliates with. Some brokerage firm’s require that new agents commit to full time so they can attend the firm’s trainings.
