Get Your Real Estate License?

I just got finished reading an article that stated that 1 in every 52 people in California has a real estate license. 1 in 52! That’s incredible. It’s also interesting.

I’m not sure what the breakdown is here in the Kansas City area. But I’ve heard we have 13,000+ agents here ourselves.

But what I really want to know is; How many are working and earning a living?

I run into the same agents over and over again. Here and there I run across a new name for the area I work. But by in large it’s the same names I see again and again. You see real estate is no miracle job. You don’t get rich by passing a two week course and the prescribed exam. It takes work.

10:00 pm phone calls. Canceled weekend trips. Did I eat lunch today? Should I spend my money on marketing or the Worlds of Fun tickets? These are some of the things that you should be dealing with if you are going to rise from the 13,000 here in Kansas City to be known as a producing agent. Heck, even in my own office I think we have 130+ agents and about 20-30 good producers.

If you are thinking of getting your license, give me a call. I would love to discuss this business with you. It’s not for everyone. But it could be for you. I will leave it with this…it is by far the most rewarding and frustrating profession I could have ever imagined…and I’m glad it’s mine!
