These are definitely all excellent reasons to get into real estate sales, but it is not as easy as it appears to achieve success. First and foremost, if you want a career as a real estate broker, you must commit to it full time. Real estate is not a part-time job, and if you approach it as one, you will surely fail. If you view it as starting your own business and you bring an abundance of enthusiasm and dedication, you have a good chance to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real estate is strictly commission based, so be prepared to go months without getting paid. When I started in real estate as a new broker, I didn\u2019t receive a real, livable commission check for almost three years. I got by in New York because I was only 21, had a rent-stabilized apartment and was able to make ends meet on the bare minimum. If I\u2019d had the responsibility of a family or a mortgage, I don\u2019t know if I would have been able to stick it out. That is why the dropout rate for new real estate agents making it past five years is estimated to be anywhere between 60% to 80%. One thing they don\u2019t tell you is how important it is to be financially prepared to work without income when starting in this business for at least six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">READ MORE VIA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbesrealestatecouncil\/2020\/02\/25\/pros-and-cons-to-consider-before-becoming-a-real-estate-broker\/#42dcb0625ba0\">FORBES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOTO: Kaplan Education Selling real estate seems like the perfect<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/propertynoise.co.nz\/au\/pros-and-cons-to-consider-before-becoming-a-real-estate-broker\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[461747081],"tags":[478108867,478100586,478098828,478099824,478099418,478103976],"class_list":["entry","author-data123nz","post-23883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australian-property-real-estate-news","tag-commission-based","tag-commission-based-real-estate-agent","tag-real-estate-agents","tag-real-estate-broker","tag-real-estate-commissions","tag-real-estate-sales"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
