Getting your realtor license is much like getting your insurance license. Yes?

[Joe S.]

 So a number of years ago, I obtained my license to sell health and life insurance. I work for AFLAC for a time and it was a whole lot of door knocking.  basically  prospecting. Later I worked for another company and it was a whole lot of prospecting and trying to chase down potential customers as well. All of which was 100% commission based. ( I no longer sell insurance.)

Being 100% commission is a job in my opinion. being a realtor, for some people could be a good income depending on how hard they work being a insurance sales person can be a good income depending on how hard they work. Neither job equates to owning real estate. Both jobs if you made a lot of money you could invest into real estate.

I had one gentleman tell me four years ago that he was a real estate investor because he just got his realtor license. I didn’t even take the time to correct him .
