Pm me. I am a private investor in DFW. Looking to add some staff to help with the day to day operations. I am not a broker so she can't hang a license under me, but she can learn the ins and outs of real estate from the investment side. Which I think is far more exciting than the realtor side (no offense realtors)

Had no idea you were investing. What kind of assets do you own?vette said:Copp said:

Just conversing with my realtor while we were driving around from place to place when I was looking... She said when she started off, working under someone at a larger firm, it was 3 years before it started getting "easier." She still represents buyers, but is now established enough that sellers come to her as well. But when she was getting her name out there, she pretty much represented buyers only. So for every commission, how many days driving all over everywhere showing homes?HomeFinderCody said:
It's not as easy as most people think...there is a reason so many new agents decide not to renew after a year.
Be prepared to work hard and hustle every day to procure clients...again, most people think it's easy, not hard, and schedule will be completely flexible. These are the same people that don't renew.
Don't expect to make a lot of money your first year...if you NEED the income right away, get a 9-5 job that has a salary.
If she is willing to work hard, loves working with people, loves solving problems, is willing to hustle for business, is willing to work hard, and is willing to work hard (did i mention that one), then it can be extremely fulfilling and you can make a very good living. I wouldn't trade my job for anything....

I recommend having her "shadow" an agent before committing to a realtor license.
Agents work nights and weekends, especially at the beginning. If she's used to spending most her time with your kids it may not be what she's looking for.
But who knows? Maybe she'll find that's her calling
