Thinking About a Career in Real Estate?

Are you thinking about a career in Real Estate?

Here are the 8 top reason why you should follow through.

“The best part of my job is when I deliver keys to the new home owners and they are so excited and start sharing all the plans they have to make this house into their home.”- Linay Lencioni

1. Real Estate is a field that is continually growing, while other fields are becoming obsolete. Real Estate based careers are predicted to experience a 5% growth between 2014 and 2024. A lot of other fields have recently been downsizing employees and switching to a more technology-based field rather than human interaction. It comes with security of always having a job.

2. Starting a career in real estate is less time consuming than other careers, as far as an educational standpoint. Realtor school on averages takes about 2-3 months, where people with similar incomes in their first year of working, have spent around 24 months or more on schooling.

3. Schooling for a career in real estate is low cost. Education cost for real estate are lower than many other careers that have similar earnings potential. Real Estate careers don’t put you in a mass of outrageous student loan debt. The average cost of going to a realtor school is around $700 (one time) and the average cost of education for an Associate Degree is over $3000 (per year).

4. There is no limit on the amount of money you can make. Income in a real estate career is based on the amount of work you put in and the relationships you build. As your expertise in the field grows, so does your income.

5. You’re making a difference in people's lives. One of biggest decisions someone will make in their life is purchasing a home. You get to be a part of that decision. Not only do you help people find their dream homes, you give them a place to start their families. This strikes home with our realtors at BOLD Real Estate Consultants. Chris (Realtor) state, “I love the feeling of knowing I am helping people move on to their next step in life.” 

6. Real Estate offers more schedule flexibility. Whether your child has practice, or you’re going to a personal appointment, scheduling appointments with clients and setting up house showings are easily fit into a busy day.

7. There is something new every day. Think about the people you know that complain about how mundane their job is. That won’t be your fate as a realtor. You’re constantly seeing new places and new people. There is never a dull moment in real estate.

8. You get to look at houses. I don’t care who you are, where you are from, at some time in your life you’ve probably driven by a house and thought, “I’d love to get to see what the inside of that place looks like.” In Real Estate, you get to. You don’t just sit there watching HGTV and wish that you got to tour these beautiful homes, you actually get to go out and live it. 

If this sounds like a career that you would love, stop daydreaming about your dream job and make it happen!

If you’re considering a career change, the BOLD team might be the perfect fit for you. 

Chris Moscarino, one of our agents, was once in the same position. When he was switching careers, he looked into many different industries. After meeting with us, though, he decided that real estate fit him the best and offered the most opportunity. Another factor in his decision was that because we are a real estate team, we already had a network of support that he could leverage to start his career. 

Overall, our vision was in line with his. We have structure, a training plan for new employees, and a growth model that other brokerages he interviewed with didn’t have, and he didn’t feel like he could achieve his ultimate success without these things. If some of these principles sound familiar, it’s because they’re the same ones outlined in the book “The Millionaire Real Estate Agent.”

In the five months Chris has been with us, he managed to follow the 100-day plan we formulated for him very tightly to hit all of his benchmarks and goals. Having this plan in place accelerated his path to becoming a successful agent. His initial training and mentorship were closely monitored, and in the 60 days since he’s been on his own, he’s been experiencing a pace and level of success that’s rare for first-year agents.

Who you become is up to you.

Like everyone in our office, Chris is held accountable to his own goals and the activities that will achieve those goals. There are expectations of things he must do every month along with these goals. These expectations are put in place as a guideline to what he must achieve to be successful. Many agents experience a roller coaster ride of business when they start out because once they get a few sales under contract, they’re too busy to continue their lead generation. The standards we have in place allow for a consistent line of business. 

Moving forward, Chris feels like there are endless opportunities for him and the sky’s the limit as far as how much he can grow as an agent. We have an organizational chart to help our employees create opportunities, but as Chris knows, our philosophy is that it’s up to you to achieve those opportunities. Part of his responsibility in that regard is sitting down once a week to make sure he’s hitting the benchmarks we’ve outlined to help him achieve those opportunities. 

If this type of experience sounds like something you’d be interested in or you already work in the real estate field and think we might be a better fit for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be happy to sit down with you and discuss how we can take you to the next level.
