A career in real estate can offer variety, independence, and great earning potential. You can train for this career at home with online courses, making it an attractive option for many people. Some people earn a real estate broker, managing broker, or leasing agent license with the intent to practice part-time, and others make it a full-time career.

Real estate is a highly challenging, commission-based job where your position is classified as “independent contractor” rather than a company “employee” working regular hours with a regular paycheck. Your financial success ultimately depends on your business plan, self-motivation and a lot of hard work. Is this career right for you?
