I am not a realtor. But I know a LOT of them and my dh has considered getting his license. My dad is a broker (on the side, he's usually an attorney), but right now is not a very good time to be a realtor. Although, I will say, that things always change and it's a really good thing to have in your back pocket. If you intend to make money, intend to be available almost 24/7 for your clients. Where we live, there is SO MUCH money to be made (or maybe, USED to be....it was like a feeding frenzy here for a LONG time, but now, I'd hate to rely on that as my livliehoood), and if you work at it ALL the time, it's really amazing how successful some people are. But when you look at how many people have their real estate license and how many people are really making a lot of money, it's a big chasm. So I would say, get your license, know what you're doing and go for it....just be aware, that you're probably going to be a little slow for a year or two (or three....you know how the economy goes). Good luck to you....it's a great thing to know how to do when the time is right and I know tons of people who they and their spouse work as a team. Must be a good deal!
