Becoming an agent during the pandemic

[Jonathan Perez]

I want to get licensed and become a real estate agent. Only two concerns I have is 1) would right now be too tough a time to become one?

2) I was planning a move to Jacksonville Florida. I’m waiting on my job to give me the ok to go. It could take months before they call me even a whole year...

So I’m trying to decide whether I should stay in my current city (Columbia SC) and build my real estate business here since I already have a network of people here and some knowledge of the city or wait till I get the call and when I go to Jacksonville start that it there.

If I wait till I move, I know I would have to start networking and learning the area which could be a lot more challenging than just staying and starting where I’m already at but maybe not? What do you guys think?
