My mother in law was lured into becoming a realtor about a year and a half ago. I will not comment on whether it was because she was “pretty” or not.
Point is that she sold two houses: her own investment condo and my house. Thankfully she found a broker who is willing to pay her MLS fees and other carrying costs for a while.
Point is: you need to be able to find clients. You’ll pull one or two sales from family and friends. What after that? Is someone willing to cover your MLS and workers comp costs while you try to find clients?
So- either have a plan to find clients quickly, or find a VERY generous broker who is willing to be patient. Or be ready to put out some of your own cash to stay in the game.
