Great job Tara. Bless you for truly tellling the story as it is. In spite of the ‘fairy story’ about the new agent that gets 5 closings in their first month - the hard truth is that for the vast majority - 99% - it takes at least a couple months to get that first check. And even after years in the business there will be months with no pay. And thank you for encouraging people to make serious consideration before deciding to work in real estate. I’m in Florida where the bar to entry is far too low. Sadly the results of that are all too clear.
