Pros and Cons of Being a Real Estate Agent
Looking for a new career? Wondering if you should become a real estate agent? Consider these pros & cons.
Pros
You are your own boss.
If you need a flexible schedule, which is one of the reasons I chose real estate, you've got it. You decide what hours you work, when you take time off, and how you want your business to look.
Limitless earnings potential
There is the opportunity to earn more than you thought possible with a career in real estate. Depending on how hard you work and your ability to leverage your time and resources, there's no one to put a ceiling, glass or otherwise, on how much you can earn.
Never the same thing twice
While you may work with the same client more than once, each time you work with a client is different. Each property is unique. Each client is unique. The client's needs are unique. The person on the other side of the transaction is unique. Agents say it all the time, "I learn something new every time."
Cons
You are your own boss.
If there is work to be done, if you want to earn a living, you have to do it. There's no one handing you sales leads. There's no one holding you accountable. If it's to be, it's up to you to make it happen.
There's not a steady paycheck
While there's no ceiling to your earnings, there's no floor either. It's possible to spend money being a real estate agent and not earn a predictable, steady income, especially in the early years.
Evolving industry
There have been a lot of changes happening in the real estate industry the last several years. Constantly changing markets. Downward pressure on commissions. Algorithms built to replace the interactions with real estate agents. A plethora of information available at the fingertips that explain everything homebuyers and sellers need to know. It's a bit unnerving.
Why Keller Williams:
Real estate is better as part of the Keller Williams family.
"I chose to join KW because of the incredible training opportunities and culture. After attending career day at Keller Williams North Atlanta I felt welcomed into the office and like there were many successful agents who would be willing to answer my questions and mentor me through the start of my real estate career. Also the training calendar was very robust and I knew that if I just showed up and listened I'd become a well trained agent. After being in Keller Williams for nearly four years I can confidently say that the training and relationships in our office have been key components of my success and rapid growth. "
Tim Baird

"Keller Williams has ongoing real estate education at no cost to the agent, so that the agent can offer the best in information, service, positioning, and results for clients."
