    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.

    This link is to an on-line school that I am happy with for my Brokers courses. It also offers the required agent courses.I went to Anthony’s to get my agent license. It is probably a good idea to take an additional test prep course before the exam. Not sure if it is needed. The material will be extremely easy. Only the Law portions provide any challenge IMO. Getting you license, including online classes state exam and first registration is going to be around 1k+or -. Live classes are more. Check with Anthony’s.

    Marion I do not know anything about Tarbell. In terms of finding clients, they are out there. They do not come to you, you have to go get them. If you work hard you can. It doesn’t happen fast, it doesn’t happen overnight. It is not easy.

    Pretty much any and every large brokerage will indeed hire pretty much anyone because every agent has a family and friends and that means a sale or two each year regardless if the agent is great or an idiot.

    You know marion, if you wanted to fish for a compliment, you could just post a picture. For instance, I’d appreciate it if you’d all compliment my haircut
