smbarz80 | Starting a career in real estate...? |
I am thinking of starting a career in real estate. I know the housing market is in a state of decline and credit standards are becoming tight. As a result, commissions are going to take a dive for agents. I know that getting a good portfolio of listings will help, but marketing them will be expensive. I have a good connection with media sales and marketing. I am in vehicle sales now and just want to move to a more profitable field with more autonomy and a more professional environment. I have the time, dedication, and a very handy wife with a good eye for staging homes and design. I think that starting with a larger company will be beneficial, but are more experienced agents usually forthcoming with guidance and advice for rookies. I consider my self a good looking, charming young man with a silver tongue. Bottom line, is it a smart move to go into real estate (in Memphis, TN) right now if I have to make at least $40k/year? |

I have been in real estate home sales for almost 30 years. I started in a boom time and learned nothing in the beginning- no one had time to teach me.
When things slowed down I actually learned much more about the business. No matter what the market is there are people that need to sell because of a divorce, death, job loss, or job transfer. There are investors and people that have great income that want or need to buy. Your job is to find these people and put them together.
I don't know what you will make because real estate is very local and very much self driven, but I love this job. (I am an old geezer and only sleep with my wife. So much for the first guy's theory) |

There is always the guy that really makes out well. If you turn out to be one of the other 99, you will have some trying times in real estate. The first big difference is that the customer is not going to come to you like in vehicle sales. The other "get use to it thing" is that one never knows when one is going to get paid. You will find that the vast majority of agents have someone paying their bills. (remember this, it will help you) In real estate "payday" is defined as an "act of God." Every agent comes to the point where they have to commit to it or get out. OH, dont forget the almost universal misunderstanding that real estate is easy work and big money. Let me end by saying: its a fun way to make money, I absolutely love it! |

First, it takes as much work to sell a house as it does to sell a $5 million strip mall.
Second, a "silver tongue" is a liability. A successful agent is one whom clients trust. No a fast talker. Everyone has a bull detector, some more accurate than others. If you're hoping to make commissions from those with poor detectors, you won't be a good salesman in the long run.
Third, you'll be successful if you're doing what you love. The best agents are those who love their job, not those trying to make commissions.
Find a field that you really enjoy rather than thinking about the money first. |

What you need then is 2 years worth of living expenses banked to live on until our business get's going. Do you have that? Sure you can make $40,000 per year, but most real estate agents don't realize this is their business and it takes discipline to make it earn money. You'll have to take classes, and probably pass a state exam. I suggest you work with a Coldwell Banker or other large national firm because they have the right training. Understand that as a newbie, you only make a small portion of the commission. For example 45/55, you get 45% your broker get's 55%, and that is after you've split it 45/55 with a coop broker. I'm assuming you meant $40,000 gross per year? You might want to consider keeping your day job for awhile. |

I am a real estate investor; and happen to believe that some of the best opportunities are available when the market is "down". However, as with anything worth having, real estate requires work, dedication, perseverance and a few missed recreational activities. Please bear in mind what has been stated before. There will always be investors, who will always be looking for a new investment. Best wishes to you. |

A few years ago I went into the real estate business I made 4k in 5 months and had to pay more than that in fees. Insurance, desk space, license, etc I ended up quiting after 7 months I had a full time job just to pay for my real estate career. The seasoned pros weren't very help full with the company I choose they didn't want anyone getting good enough to take their deals I guess. Good luck. I don't think that is a good switch full time, if you start at part time it may be very easy for you to get a client list and slowly build a rep and switch to full.. I just don't think you will make 40k your first year. |

I became a real estate agent 3 months ago in Canada, British Columbia. United states is on the Decline. I have been doing well finally after 3 months. Made a 3 million dollar commercial sale, but my first sale was a mobile home for 100 000$. A crappy mobile home for 100 000$ do the math and relocate my friend. Things are so hot up here its amazing. Vancouver, Okanagan, Island. Leave the states and start business up here. Im only 19 and even I can make a living at it. More than a decent one. |
