Greetings,

For the past several weeks now, I keep coming across this ad (below) on Craigslist, and I am wondering if any of you seasoned real estate agents think that this might be too good to be true or if there is some type of financial catch? Yet seeing the way that the real estate field has not really been thriving over the past year or two (due to sub prime mortgage mess and housing bubble burst), yet making about 100K per year/8K per month (as their ad claims) sound too good to be true as a new real estate agent.

I live adjacent to Los Angeles California, and the ad is from a Century 21 office in Long Beach (a city near Los Angeles).

I would appreciate any comments and or feedback. Thank you.

Wilson
