• Nov. 15, 2006 - Choosing A Real Estate Career

So you've been at this business awhile. You've survived the first few years, when most agents fail, and have proven that you've got what it takes to make a career out of real estate. So what happens now? People start coming up to you and asking about the business. We both know that people who aren't in real estate think that it's a simple job with big paychecks. They've got the paychecks right, they are big sometimes. But then again, when you calculate the time and expenses you put into getting that check, it's not nearly as much money as everyone thinks.

So what do you tell someone who thinks they've got what it takes? Tell them to go get a copy of Your Succesful Real Estate Career by Kenneth W. Edwards. Amacom just released the updated 5th edition a couple weeks ago and it's a great source of information for anyone who is thinking about a career in real estate.

Dave Liniger, founder of RE/MAX called a previous edition, "A hard-hitting and comprehensive guide for anyone looking into a real estate career.

So why tell you about a book that will help others compete against you? Because if more people understand the difficulties and stress involved in a career in real estate, especially the effort to get started, maybe the less unqualified, unprofessionals there will be in the business.

You can buy the book direct from the RealtyU bookstore for $18.95 or follow the link to Amazon and get it for $12.89.
