Interview several managers in the different firms in your locale and see how much "hand-holding" and education they provide. Bigger firms put out the large advertisements and you don't have to pay for it if you get a listing. Advertising can take a big chunk out of your gross pay. There are lots of other costs associated with being a realtor...ask your manager for the details. Don't expect to make big money for awhile. I know many agents who barely make one or two sales a year the first year or two. Depends on your area and how many other agents there are. The ones who have stuck it out throughout the various real estate markets are usually the ones who get the real $$$. You may consider getting on a team with a seasoned agent and do the "schlep" work and get some experience that way. You shadow them and see how they get the listings and buyers. Good Luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>Been there, done that. Its a VERY tough business and don’t expect other agents even in your own office to be much help.
