So You want to be a Real Estate Agent?
Today, the world stock market went downhill, with 2 banks in the US
into bankcruptcy. It is a wrong time for the real estate market ( to
Sell and Buy) as the mortgage interest rates are near 7%. However,
personally I have plans to downsize and list my home beginning April 1
and maybe moved to a smaller place to be near my oldest daughter, so I
would not be living alone. It appeared this may have to be moved perhaps
another month or so and hopefully the real estate market will improve.
I have hired a realtor from Coldwell Banker and he appears to have the
personality of an excellent real estate agent. Today my blog is about
Real Estate Agents.
A recent article from the NY Times discussed that the pandemic had inspired many to be come a real estate agents. The reasons are discussed in this site:

Several
months ago, I also had a heart to heart talk with a close relative. She
plans to retire early from her high pressure job and planning what to
do after early retirement ( only 62 years old). She has a friend who is a
successful realtor. This friend had been mentoring her about real
estate( how to prepare for closing cost documents etc..) and she likes
it. Her friend is making good money as a realtor. She told my close
relative she paid $75,000 in taxes last year. Her realtor friend was
smirking on the $750 dollars that Lame Duck President Trump paid in taxes in income tax a few years ago.
Knowing the personality and abilities of my closed relative, I believe she will be a good and successful real estate agent. However, I was curious of what is in the Internet on this subject. Here's what I found on the qualities that you will need to be a successful real estate agent( see link below). Here's a video of the 10 traits you need to have to be a successful realtor.

Looking forward for spring and the end of this torrential rain here in Northern California.
