Question for agents

[Account Closed]

I am thinking of getting licensed but I a disability that would provent me from showing most properties personally (mainly those with stairs or other access barriers do to wheelchair use).

My question is....would I still be able to find success?

At this point it would just be for the education and to help others sell (referal fees, etc) but I want to know if I could still be an effective agent if I wanted to be

Not sure the education will be worth it. The licensing info is outdated and minimally useful for day-to-day RE business as an agent.

I think you could be successful if it's what you are all about. You could also bring a unique perspective to the business that most agents without disabilities do not understand and with the huge baby boomer population there is a high demand for single story, no steps, etc. properties. You probably have a large network that you could tap into as well and serve their unique needs.

As for showings you'd probably have to hire an assistant and cut a deal with them for the showings you can't do. Or, you could go to work for a high producer and cut a deal again with a fellow assistant or the main producer on showings you can't physically do.
