Inspiring Quotes for Real Estate Agents

When it comes to selling real estate, motivation plays a key role in determining if a realtor can rise above the averages. In an industry where agents are faced with constant negativity, it can be easy to settle for “just OK” instead of great. 

Most real estate agents in the US make around $40,000 a year. However, you can bet that most people had strong ambitions to be more than “just OK.” Being a real estate agent is about having an exciting life-changing career that lets YOU help change other people’s lives for the better. 

When you consider the amount of time, money, and effort that candidates spend on getting their real estate certification, you have to wonder if being part of the $40k a year group is even worth it. It’s no wonder 87% of agents quit real estate sales within the first 5 years!

After all, there are plenty of other jobs that pay $40k or more, and many don’t even require any certifications.
