Real Estate Brokers and sales persons..i have a few questions?
I am interested in a real estate sales license for several reasons,least notably would be actually making money off of real estate sales, I do not expect to make a living from selling real estate and will not be interested in pursuing real estate sales as a full time profession, at least for the time being i want to participate part time, learn and get a feel for what its really all about before quitting my day job and plunging into possible financial disaster.because i am not actually expecting to MAKE any money for a year or two i am concerned about the actual cost of just having the license.
say you were to have a sales license,be associated with a broker and pay whatever monthly fees are involved in being a Realtor but you wind up selling zero homes because you are terrible at selling things and dont have a clue…
1) how much would you be doling out just to be a “realtor” on as monthly basis
2)do you have to agree to any yearly terms (such as paying a fee to a broker every month for a full year)or could you just stop paying monthly fees at any time if you were making no sales at all or found you did not want to continue in real estate sales
3)will a brokerage “fire” you if you are only working evenings and weekends when you can (this is not to say any client would ever be neglected just that an aggressive pursuit of NEW clients might not be taking place at all times because of my current career obligations)so basically if you arent selling much or anything does your broker dump you.
4)do you enjoy real estate and does it feel like you work for yourself and have freedom with your time? (those are the reasons i want to be involved in real estate, i want to work for myself using my own talents, i want freedom to do thing when i want to do them,like go my my childs ball games if i want to and i want to look forward to working everyday.
Thank you for answering!
