Newbie Real Estate Agent

[Chukwuka John Umeojiako]

Greetings BP,

I would like to read about experiences of Real Estate agents in Dallas, TX. I am a recent college grad, and I am just tired of applying for jobs and also the rejection that comes with it. I am looking at getting into real estate in Dallas and would need to know how the market is performing for real estate agent:

Is it something you would encourage someone?

What would you do different if given the opportunity as a realtor?

Would anyone be willing to sit down over coffee to talk?

I am open to mentorship

I'm not in the Dallas but I will give you my two cents.

It is a high risk high reward opportunity. In Austin there are 13,000 Realtors and 80% of new agents quit after the first 2 yrs. Just in my class of 30, only 2 of them "made it". If you have a great network that helps, otherwise you may want to join a team where the splits aren't great but at least you will get some steady business.
