Breaking into Luxury Properties Sales as a New Agent?

[Account Closed]

Hi Everyone,

I am an MBA Professional changing careers in my early 30's and currently working on my Real Estate Sales License (Agent) here in Austin Texas. I'd like to start off working with higher end homes, preferably in the $800s and up. Not being familiar with the phases of Real Estate Agents, my question is this: Does every agent have to start at the bottom or can they pretty much choose their entrance level? Also, what are the most important factors that determine at what level each Agent operates at other than personality? Thanks!
