Whether you’re just finishing high school or thinking about making a career change, you may want to consider earning a real estate broker license. There are several advantages to this career field, many of which you may not have considered before.
Flexibility
For many people the best part about being a Realtor® is the fact that they can essentially set their own schedules. Planning a vacation or chaperoning your child’s field trip won’t be a problem, since you are in charge of scheduling your own appointments. While you do have great freedom when it comes to planning time off, you’ll still need to be available when your clients need you if you are to meet your sales goals. Many agents do this by developing a partnership with other Realtors® who will “cover down” for them in return for a promise to do the same.
Growth is Unlimited
In many companies, salary is limited by corporate budgets. As a result, workers often do not get the raises they deserve. Real estate agents on the other hand have unlimited possibilities for growth, and the amount of money they can make is virtually unlimited. Hard work and dedication will definitely pay off in this line of work with higher commissions and awards for being a top producer within a given firm.
Independent Businessperson-but not Alone
Even though they work for brokering firms, real estate agents are nonetheless somewhat of independent businesspeople in their own rites. This doesn’t mean they are without a support network, as everyone involved in this line of work tends to pull together in order to help one another out. The result is that real estate brokers can feel good about their success, yet not be overwhelmed by their work whenever things become a little difficult.
