Get Paid to be a Real Estate Agent

Imagine having a flexible career with $100,000-plus earning potential that you can train for and break into in only a matter of months. Real estate agents enjoy these benefits and more. No wonder becoming a real estate agent is such a popular choice with career changers.

About a Career as a Real Estate Agent

Real estate agents help people with buying, selling, or leasing homes, buildings, and land. Residential real estate agents specialize in working with homeowners, while commercial real estate agents deal with office space and buildings.

Real estate agents make sure their clients have all the information they need to set selling prices, make offers, and negotiate a great deal. Real estate agents are paid a commission which is a percentage of the sale price of each transaction, so your earning potential is unlimited.

Real estate agents receive enormous satisfaction from finding the perfect new home for their clients, or helping owners sell a home with little hassle and for a great price. If you love people and are rewarded by helping them, you have discovered a career that will allow you to turn your passion into a real way to make a living.

If you like to socialize, working as a real estate agent may not feel like real work to you. Much of the career involves meeting people, chatting, and building relationships. Also, real estate is not a 9-5 job. You'll have the flexibility to set a work schedule that works for you.

You can become a real estate agent right now. You don't need a college degree to buy and sell real estate, and the training for your license is readily available, even by correspondence or online.

There has never been a better time to become a real estate agent. There is always money to be made in real estate, whether the real estate market is hot, cold, or steady. With rising household incomes, low interest rates, and affluent baby boomers looking for an alternative to the stock market, the real estate market experienced unprecedented growth in the past few years. The strong sellers' market is now shifting to a more balanced one, so people who have been waiting to buy are now ready to reenter the market.
