[quote=Anonymous]As a realtor for 20 years, I’ll say this: it can be a lucrative career but it’s a lot of work, sometimes without a payday. You only get paid if you close the sale. At the end of the day, you get out of it what you put into it. Also, you are working with the public on what is likely to be the biggest financial transaction of their life. People are super emotional about real estate. You are part agent and part therapist! It’s fun, unpredictable but definitely not easy. I have learned so much, made friends, and done well financially. The industry is also changing. 6% commission is a thing of the past except for some high end agents. Consumers have a LOT more information than they did 20, and even 2-5, years ago. They expect you to discount your commission because they feel they can do it themselves/know just as much/etc. I still think great agents are a value add, but I don’t think it’s going to be easy to get business in the future. Good luck to your son![/quote]
