Real estate is a good field to enter at any age. You must be able to pass your local real estate exam. Once you get your license you will have to find a broker in which you can go to work for. It is extremely hard work with long and exhusting hours. You are not normally free on weekends as most other individuals are. The career field is very rewarding and the financial rewards are good if you make good decisions about your finances.

Your broker will do the things necessary to point you in the direction to join your local MSL board as well as real estate association. There might be some fees involved in joing these organizations. Some you are required to join others you may not be required to join, but they will help you in the long run.

The first thing you should do is get help in writing a business plan. You also should determine a method to market yourself so you can put yourself in the best possible position to get listings so you may sell them as well as put yourself into a position to find buyers for houses. Marketing is key to being in this business. A good marketing plan will solve a lot of your long range concerns, put you in the best position.

The next thing is keep current with the lastest techniques in your business, attend local colleges for real estate courses and continued education, because one day you might consider becoming a broker after being in the business for awhile and learning the trade.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck to you.

It's a good career, but you got to be persistent. You need to sell and keep selling. Some people are made for that, others well...

real estate might seem promising now, but you really need to think about your long term happiness. what is going to fulfill you in every possible way? if its real estate then go for it. I would investigate before deciding.

they say real estate is either the easiest low paying job you'll ever have or the hardest high paying one.

you can make a lot of money, but there are no guarantees. it's all commission. so if you aren't able to sell anything, you won't get any money. also, you'll need to have some money saved up. it costs to advertise and if you don't promote yourself, you won't make it. you have to be prepared to go months without making a single dime.

if i were you, i'd finish college first. that way you would have something to fall back on if real estate doesn't work out. also, you're only a young college guy for a few short years, but you have the rest of your life to work.

more advice: when you get your license, start out part time. having a part time job on the side will help you pay the bills when things are slow.

sure why not? its a good career to have BUT its competitive because you have to have the skills on talking to people

It's pretty lucrative. I worked in the loan business, which you can start doing without your licence. Depends what your major is, what interests you most, and where you live/how the market is there.


heavnonearth
yes, any form of sales is a great step for a young person to take. You just have to have the tenacity to be a real go getter the harder you work the more money you make unlike your typical 9-5 job. the harder you work is just the harder you work!!!!

The market here in California is turning flat right now.
Houses are still selling, but they are taking longer. Some owners are not having any luck selling becuase they are pricing high becuase they are so used to the recent increase and market growth. I'm new in real estate myself. I can tell you my daily duties are cold calling(making phone calls randomly), going door to door, and managing my leads and contacts. It's a lucrative career. You just have to get over the fear of talking to people you don't know.

I spent 10 years selling Real Estate in Minnesota...working 80 hours a week, but making very good money while doing so. But, some things to consider: The more people you know, the better your chances of success. Real Estate is a a referral-based business. It takes time to get started, and I recommend to everyone considering a Real Estate career to have at least 6 months worth of income (if not a year) in the bank before you start. In the alternative, some other means of support is necessary, like a trust fund, wealthy family or spouse. Otherwise, you'll probably starve.
