Don't become a REALTOR, if...

Don't become a REALTOR, if...
You think it's EASY. The hours can be brutal and back-to-back days of work.
You think you'll get RICH quickly. It takes years and years for most Realtors to make a lot. Don't be fooled by the nice cars. Many Realtors didn't buy those cars with real estate income.
You think it will be fun because you like to SEE HOMES. Looking at nice homes is a very small part of the business and will not make you successful.
You think it will PAY THE BILLS. When you become a Realtor, expenses go up and income goes down. You not only have to pay your normal living expenses, but you have Realtor fees that can be significant.
You think you can do it PART-TIME. As licenses get harder to get and being a good agent takes more experience, part-timers are having a hard time justifying the costs.
If you want to be part lawyer, inspector, salesperson, negotiator,interior decorator, computer whiz, blogger, marketing expert, chauffeur and financial consultant...then you've come to the right place!
Love your job and you will succeed!
