Thoughts about pursuing a real estate career

Jeb Armstrong

As of right now im a senior in high school and will graduate in 2015. I will graduate with my high school diploma and acossiates degree.  I have taken a sudden interest in real estate and its very appealing to me. Would it be a bad idea to become a realator at 18 years old? Would I not be very successful?

If you can demonstrate market knowledge, confidence and point to any successes you have, you will overcome most people's initial concerns.  The great thing about real estate is that the longer you are in it, the more referrals and people you will know making getting future business easier.  Starting at 18 years old, you will be a top broker in your twenties if you keep at it.

Good luck!
