Absolutely! Many new agents think it's glamourous and you just walk through pretty houses all day. You have to be knowledgable in so many areas and very business savy. Many are also shocked at the expense of being a Realtor. There should, at the very least, be a section of the course that clues you in to the money you will have to spend out of your pocket before you even close the first transaction. I believe this would "weed" out those who are not serious. - Fri Apr 25 2008, 11:36
I think you are telling the public that you have chosen this as your career and expect them to pay you but you don't support the profession yourself. It gives a negative vibe. - Fri Apr 25 2008, 11:14
While reading these answers I found it funny that everyone has their picture on the side, ha! I like seeing the person to whom I'm speaking, or in this case, reading. I have found it helpful when the client is a female from out of town that will be spending the day with me inside my vehicle. If she is previewing before the spouse gets involved, she may be more comfortable knowing what the person looks like before committing to getting into the car. Some crazies look normal but I've seen some agent pics that were scary from the start! - Fri Apr 25 2008, 11:05
There is a listing for $29,900 in Sheffield, Alabama. It is 3 br, 1 bath with a fenced yard, 86x100 lot, 1050 square feet, hardwood floors under the carpet, vinyl siding, detached storage building, public sidewalks. Sounds close to what you need so it is possible. Hope this helps! - Fri Apr 25 2008, 10:11
