Debating going into the Real Estate Agent arena.

I'm debating a career changed from my current w-2 into full time real estate. I'd like to go full time right off the bat, and give it my all. I'm ready to invest heavily in marketing and anything else that may work right off the bat. I'm looking for any tips or advice from anyone who's started in the last few years on what has worked well for them.

Are there any marketing avenues that work best?

Have you found it better to specialize in a niche or be general?

What else should I keep in mind?

    Start part time. Consider the average time homes are on the market in your area. Even if you had a client to buy a home on the first day or a listing, it will not guarantee a quick sale within 30 days.

    Identify a niche. The more specific the better.

    I hope this helps.

    I wish you all the best.
