SUCCESS AS A REAL ESTATE AGENT

Welcome! You’re about to move into the league of the most successful real estate agents. Real estate sales is the greatest business in the world. In my more than 25 years as a business owner and entrepreneur, I’ve yet to find a business equal to real estate sales when it comes to income potential versus capital investment. In any marketplace, a real estate agent has the opportunity to create hundreds of thousands of dollars in income. (I coach many agents and teams who earn more than $3 million per year.) An agent’s income is especially significant when viewed against the capital investment required by the business. Most agents need as little as $2,000 to start up their practices.Compare that to any other business and you’ll find that most involve sizeable investments and burdensome loans to buy equipment, lease space, create marketing pieces, develop business strategies, and hire employees-all to achieve what is usually a smaller net profit than what a real estate agent can achieve in the first few years. It’s almost too good to be true!

Because of technological advances, including the Internet and social media,a new agent can create the appearance of success, marketplace stature, and marketing experience, far beyond the early stages of a real estate career.This gives new agents better odds at carving out a career for themselves.The timing of your decision to enter the field of real estate or advance your career could not be better. The industry has just come out of a significant market correction, and the number of real estate agents has been reduced by close to 40 percent. We’re now reentering a growth phase in real estate where home values are increasing and the number of homes sold is starting to climb again.

Real estate sales paved the way for me to become a millionaire at a very young age. It has provided a solid income, many investment opportunities,an exciting lifestyle, and a platform from which I’ve been able to help many others achieve their own goals and dreams in life.
