I hear the first year is really tough.
I met a guy who graduated during financial crisis, couldn’t find a job so went to law school then joined a firm but got laid off and became a realtor. The first 12 months he made $16k
8 years later he’s breaking $300k-$500k a year
I have both, as well as a finance background. I’m thinking concierge-level service across the entire cycle. I’ve also explored modeling out the cost/benefit of Reno’s and green upgrades, like solar. Where I live there’s tons of rebate money out there but it’s hard to figure out exactly how much.
You’re joking right? It’s sales, straight up sales. So if you’re good at it, why waste time in RE? Plus, thanks to tech the commissions will soon be 1% net. So yeah, pay days will also be hard to come by

Exactly. Priced out renting vs buying our house and the commission to sell was astronomical! It’s a sellers market and I can’t imagine paying that fee when the house will sell in 3 hours.
How would the consulting skillset help?
Think less C-suite and more delivery/client relation.
We are really good at dealing with clients and finding/evaluating data for sometimes relatively unsophisticated clients to help them make informed, sometimes difficult and emotional decisions. We can influence them into making more informed decisions than they may have if they shot from the hip.

To make real $ at it you have to source the listings. If you have a strong local network that’s your best asset, otherwise you’ll be chasing after scraps.
Yeah, sellers agent is where you want to be, and that’s a great point. Definitely not a local in my adopted city.
Mate do you even know housing crash ?
Yup and prices are way over 2008 prices, and yet....
