Has any one transitioned from being attorney to realtor? Any tips or thoughts? I have several years of litigation experience. Some of my experience early on was in real estate lit. I live in a high demand/desirable area of the country and the market still seems very good. That said, tons of realtors.

Congrats you’ve found the only profession that is more of a drain on society than lawyering

That’s an interesting pov. I’ve never thought of realtors that way

I know that if you’re barred in NY - there’s a very streamlined process to get your real estate license. That might be true elsewhere. You could check out my interview with Marni Blank on The Lawyer’s Escape Pod. She’s a lawyer who moved into real estate (first as a broker and now owns/runs an Airbnb and an event space).

That’s helpful - thank you. I enjoyed the podcast. I’m not in NY. My state makes me take the whole course.
