A real estate agent!!???!!??!!??

Everyone has to do something crazy in their life..
Well, I'm not crazy enough to drive 500 miles a week so I will have to settle for real estate.

I will be starting my classes to get my license in May.. It will last for 9 weeks.
One reason I'm going for it..
I will be with Coldwell Bankers.
They teach the class.
Then you take the test to get your lisence.
Then you take a 5 week class (company pays for it) that is hands on.. They teach you how to find people.. Make you go out and find people.. Then come back and talk about those people.
They also have a kiosk at the mall. New agents sign up and work the koisk and can get leads that way. They also have a time where you work the floor and you have an opportunity to get leads.

He stated that IF you are willing to do everything the teacher says then you will have a great chance of succeed. HOWEVER, some people take off and go and make money off the bat. Others (and this will be me I'm sure) endure and endure and then see results in a few months..
The nice thing is that they will allow me to start part-time and go full time once I get anough leads to not starve..

I've got to get a new job before I go crazy.. My owner does nto want me to do my job and discipline my employees however he does not want me to keep those who are bad.. WHAT EVER>>> How can you fire someone if you can't write them up.....

Hey Misty,
Well, good luck with the real estate agent experience. I found one frustrating thing about running the store to be knowing that my financial success depended on other people being willing to spend the big bucks. Which means the economy needs to be doing good. Of course, in the end, a crappy economy will adversely effect everyone anyway. Atleast the Caldwell banks really seem to want to support you during the beginning. That's a good sign. Besides, you probably only need to help with the purchase of one or two homes a month to be financially successful. Live free! adam
