I just went back to work for a builder, I prefer new construction over general real estate, but everyone's different....I really like to sell homes starting from the ground up, but completed homes means faster closings, which means quick money....in general real estate you set your own hours....its easy to relax a little too much, if you dont have your time management and business plan in place. You also drive your clients around and may not close the deal.
You can take a week class, or longer if you wish. Financing knowledge is extremely important now.
The market is changing......I just sold a model home from home this morning.
I worked with my customer yesterday and they signing their agreement Saturday to close in two weeks, yeah!. So, here in FL, if the price is right, it will sell.
