Hi, I'm Jessica from Wisconsin. I currently work as a machine operator. I am considering a career as a real estate agent. I joined this forum to hopefully learn more about the field. I welcome any information/messages.

Welcome Jessica!

This is a great place to learn basic information about real estate... I did!!

I think that you will find many useful resources and a lot of useful advice from many of the members here.

Hey Jessica,

A good friend of mine, who is now my agent in OR, had the same aspirations as you. We both worked at a Call Center while going to school. What he did was simply work this job and did RE on the side until he had enough of a client base, and income from RE, to switch to it full-time. For awhile, he was literally seeing clients on his break and lunches still wearing his cheezy call-center head set.

Hi Jessica,

Hard time to get in these days...but if you can make it now, you'll make it forever. Just don't give up....and...training, training, training...
