Real Estate is not the easiest business to get into and actually stay. So many think it is an easy job that pays well but that is not the case at all. In fact, the stats of how many will leave within the first year after entering this profession is pretty alarming and NAR shows that the average REALTOR only makes $45k per year.
Here are some tips from the pros on how to make your real estate career long lasting and prosperous.
Act & Prepare as a Business Owner - Run your business like a business! Consistency, Staying top of mind, staying in touch and putting systems in place for post closing. Making sure to constantly stay in front of your sphere!
