Cons
Commission is a tough life, in real estate 30% of income needs to go to taxes. You can never count on income from a sale until it closes. Many things could derail the sale, that are out of you and your clients control- job loss, divorce, huge repairs needed to foundation or plumbing or something you won't know up front etc... Plan on working nights and weekends. You can't expect buyers and sellers to take time off work for contracts, they need that time to move. You will be guiding them through a stressful time, always answer their call/text, give bad news fast. Don't take it personally when they lash out in stress or frustration.
