Yes becoming a real estate agent is a good idea and can be a great career if you're suited for it.
You need to be a good sales person and be able to sell homes and lands and you really need to push the sell of the home.
Because the more homes and land you sell as a real estate agent the more income you'll make.
Not everyone is cut out to be a good real estate agent and some new real estate agents don't make much money when starting out because they haven't really learned the ropes to sell a house or land.
Land is easier to sell than a house though.
A lot of real estate agents do make good money especially those real estate agents working in larger cities and areas where house prices are more expensive.
Real Estate agents will make a commission off the sale of a house so it's important for the real estate agent to do everything they can to get the house to sell.
If the real estate agent cannot sell the house then they lose the commission.
The average real estate agent makes around $100,000.00 per year and some make even as much as $200,000.00 to $500,000.00 per year.
The more houses you sell the more money you make.
You have to get your real estate license though so be prepared for that as well but if you can become a real estate agent you can make a good income.
People will always be buying homes and land so real estate agents will always be in demand.
