If your New Year’s resolution is to be your own boss, a career in real estate could be the right fit for you.
Here’s a clear breakdown of what it actually looks like.
First, make sure it’s the right fit.
You’ll need self-motivation, strong people skills, and comfort with sales and negotiation. As an independent contractor, you’ll manage your own clients, expenses, and taxes, so organization and accountability are key.
Next, complete the pre-licensing education.
In Indiana, you’ll need 90 hours of approved real estate coursework, covering laws, contracts, finance, and real estate ethics. We recommend the Tucker School of Real Estate. For more information, visit Tuckerschool.com.
Then, pass the exam and choose a brokerage.
Once you’ve completed the coursework, you’ll schedule the state and national licensing exams and select a brokerage. Training opportunities, brand reputation, and company culture are all important factors to consider.
