I am planning on getting my RE license at the beginning of next yr. What I haven't thought about is, Will I have to work in an office after I get my license or can I continue to work on my RE business from home?

@Account Closed My broker doesn't offer office space and I love it!

My office space is my car, laptop and cell phone. My costs are minimal and it works great for me as I still have a full time 40 hr a week job and sell RE. Personally, with RE the best place to meet listing clients is a their house since they feel the most comfortable there. Anything you need to discuss with buying clients can be done on the phone. The up and coming Millennial generation prefers to text anyways. I have sold several houses where I have never once talked on the phone to a client, all communication is text and email.  Agents that spend a lot of time in their "office"  are obviously not out in the field selling. Not having an office keeps me motivated to stay out there selling!

Good luck
