CONSIDERING A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE?

Why? Given a good work ethic, the proper motivation and good organizational skills, success is determined by the agent's sales related traits and aptitudes and the continuing development of the same. For example, certain inhibitions a person may have in dealing with people could result in poor sales performance. Real estate is a "commission only" sales position.
