We've all wondered if we could make it as a real estate agent at some time or another.
We’ve all had those moments when we’ve said, “I’d be good at a career in real estate” and according to a recent Careebuilder.com article, “10 Stressful Jobs That are Worth it“, it is worth thinking about.
According to the article, real estate is considered one of the top-ten jobs with a heavy amount of stress that is actually worth the level of stress required.
Why is that?
- Own Your Own Business. My brokerage is Keller Williams Consultants Realty in Dublin, Ohio — but ask me about my business and you’ll hear about Ohio Home Team, llc. That’s because I OWN my own business. If I put in the time and build the book of business, then the money is mine. I share with the brokerage, but the majority of the money goes back into my business and helping my family.
- Unlimited Income Potential. You’re not on salary, there is no boss telling you that your hours are being cut to 30. Does this mean that every agent makes millions of dollars in a year? Of course not. The average agent barely makes the poverty level.
- Control Your Own Schedule. I’m not going to blow sunshine and claim you can make $1,000,000 working part-time hours. You can’t — at least to begin with. It takes a lot of time and hard-work to make money in real estate, but it is great when you have control over your schedule. I like spending time with my family, so I will clear a portion of my schedule to spend time with them. Or if you don’t really like your family, you can fill that time with more work and continue to build your business. Your call.
- Low-Cost of Entry. Try to start a coffee shop and you’ll be staring at least a $10,000 bill before the doors even open. Pick-up your classes at Hondros for $1,199 and get licensed by the state of Ohio. Then find a broker and join a board and you’ll be looking at about another $1,000. So for less than $2,500 you’ll be set-up and ready to start selling houses.
I rarely get to “drink the cool ade” on the site, because that isn’t why most people are reading this. But if you have been thinking about getting into real estate I would strongly suggest Keller Williams Realty — and in central Ohio Keller Williams Consultants Realty — as your brokerage of choice.
The difference in my mind is education. You come here to learn about the real estate market (second) and what is happening in Delaware (first). So you like to be educated on what is going on around you — and that’s why I love Keller Williams.
Head to our Dublin office, located at 5400 Frantz Road, Suite 100, and ask them to see the training calendar — or just drop me an e-mail — and you’ll see a schedule with at least one, but usually more, training opportunities every single day.
That’s enough spilling of the cool ade today.
