It's called real estate first of all. Get that straight and go from there. |

Real estate sales is not for the faint of heart. If you are "terrified" of selling, then I strongly suggest that you investigate the sales training programs that companies offer their agents, evaluate them and get as much training as possible to help you increase you confidence. More confidence = less terror.
Being "great" at it is one thing -- but remember that for the majority of agents, either it's a full-time job, or it's a part-time job that fizzles after less than two years. It's full of women who think that it's a great "part time" job to "stay at home with their children", but don't realize that, especially if you are a buyer's agent, most of your time on weekends is spent showing properties. It takes a lot of discipline, organization and time management to be a good agent AND carve out that time you want with your children. And if an inspection has gone bad -- your seller's don't give a flip if you're at your son's T-ball game.
It isn't just showing houses and then showing up at the closing to pick up your check. (Although every once in a while, you get lucky!) If you are a listing agent, then you must develop expertise in marketing properties -- good agents are able to show their clients exactly what they are doing and what kind of results they are getting. If you are a buyer's agent, then you are researching homes, showing homes, and spending a lot of time getting into your buyer's head trying to figure out what the heck it is that they DO want!
To succeed, you are going to have to treat this like a business, which means having a marketing plan, goals, and ways to track progress. A good real estate office broker who specializes in training new agents is a MUST, if you don't know what you're doing in this regard.
Good luck! |

You have to work smart and be patient.
Work Smart - be organized because real estate transactions means lots of details but you still have to spend time prospecting for listings, taking care of existing customers and transactions, and making sure you take time off for you and family. Make sure you plan time every day for all of your activities.
Be Patient- Like another says, it takes many months before you see any meaningful income, and the first 12-24 months the income can be very spotty - make nothing one month then $10,000 the next. You need to be patient with your prospects, your clients, your listings and your income. Make sure you are init for the long haul. There are a lot of people who get into real estate and get out because they are impatient, and try to take shortcuts that don't work. |

being a real estate person is a people's person, and usually start with family and friends.. i started like you, and selling scared the heck out of me.. but after you start picking up that phone and make the first call, the second and third will be easier.. for personal encounters, start the ice breaker by complimenting the other person's outfit or personality to get the ball rolling.. talk about families, because everybody has one.. and when you ask each other what you do, you go from there..
if you want to hit 2 birds in one stone, be a mortgage loan officer too.. they're the perfect match.. i know some realtors are, because it's an added service to their customers, which the homebuyers actually need and appreciate since they won't go anywhere else anymore.. makes sense?
you'll be fine.. i can feel your enthusiasm as i was like you before.. you just have to socialize more often, because that's how you can get sales - both from home sales and loans.. now if you're serious to become a loan officer (dont worry, no experience needed, you can train online), here's the way to go- |

you go for it but do not forget you have a lot of competition
and the market is not in your favor for listing property.
but you can be better than others that are trying and do not accomplish anything. just be honest and respect the rules and regulations of real estate and remember do not quit your job for now you will not have income for some time. |

Make sure you have at least 1 years worth of bills in your savings. Remember always talk to people, let them know what you do, stay organized, and don't quit.
Good Luck |
