Looking for guidance
Hello everyone!
Hope everyone is doing well. I am currently taking real-estate courses to pass a state exam. I wanted to get a sense of what it is like to be in the business of real-estate, from every spectrum. My questions are: How has the experience of real estate changed your life? During this historical moment in history how has the real-estate industry changed for you all? Lastly, If you were in your 20s what are the first steps you'd advice your former self to consider before committing to the real estate community as a career path? (Last question applied to both younger and older individuals)
Thank you in advance!
