I want to become a real estate agent?

Question

What are the pros and cons of being a real estate agent these days. i heard the market is not good right now. After doing some research i know a few things about the annual fees and the fees to join the top 3 organizations. What hours do realtors normally work? Is it good to work a full time job and do real estate part time? How do people work from home doing real estate? These are my top questions i have. Feel free to add more information too. I live in oklahoma if that helps.

Answer 1

This is a very bad time to choose to go into real estate. Sales are off on both new and existing homes.

Realtors do not work set hours, but may be required to put in phone time at the agency they're affiliated with.

Some RE agencies will not mind if you work part time. Others will not take you on unless you work full time.

To work from home, you need a computer with an Internet connection, a telephone, and a lot of drive.
