Agents or Realtors vs Lenders or Loan Officers

Obviously both agents and lenders have the potential to make millions, but I am confused on which to get into. I am passionate about real estate and want to get a career path which has the most potential. Both of these fields are commission based but which one will have the most income potential fastest and highest. It’s been hard for me to decide because both paths have the potential to earn 6-7 figures within 5-10 years. Any thoughts?

Yes - probably a bit higher potential on the realtor side BUT way more competition and saturation, as if its easy for you to jump in and have big potential...that means its easy for everyone else too


This was an interesting article that came out today on the massive oversaturation of real estate agents out there
