How long will it take to get my license?
Depends on your location.Â

What are my expected costs?
You’ll have low to no expenses. Most real estate agents spend 40-90% of their commission on expenses to run their business.

What will my schedule look like?
Your first 6-12 months will be very busy! And it gets better! In year one, you are learning, shadowing, absorbing, and doing.
