This perhaps will contradict with most of what people will see, or perceive on social media about real estate agent. And by the way, I do not want to tease you or to intimidating anyone
But, I do want to let you know that is better to have option in life, especially if you are a real estate agent. Most agent has no options
If you don’t have option, you will have no choice but to show that buyer that you don’t even like talking to 30 houses on the weekend. You have to skip a family gathering, skip tennis, skip your kid events to do an open houses that you absolutely does not want to be there. It just broke my heart when i see people in their 50s and 60s working weekend, or being a sale agent at a new built.You can see it in their eye, they do it not because they like it, but because they have to.
Unfortunately people get into this industry for freedom, and it is the freedom that kill everyone.
What are our option to freedom as a real estate agent then?
You could work your way up from a buyer agent, to a listing agent, then become a team leader, then becoming a broker owner, and realize that you buy yourself into a job that you could never get out of.
You could start buying rental and regrets it the moment the AC went out.
What if there is a way to get pay owning investment property with out paying for it?
What if there is a way not to work on Saturday and Sunday?
What if there is a way to build instant equity.
What If there is a way to own the company you work for instead of renting your license from it?
What if there is a way to get pay like a broker without being a broker?
What if there is a way to travel the world for a year and come back with more money in the bank?
What if there is a way to inspire other and leave a legacy for you and your family?
Only if you are open to it.
