Hello everyone.
I am a Realtor in NC. My 9-5 responsibilities are for property management, however in the slow seasons I help my clients find suitable investment properties for the extra commissions. I make just enough to handle the bills with the property management salary. This job is set up to encourage sales and add to the company's investment portfolio. When not dealing with a divorce & custody battle, I've sold $1 million worth of properties adding about $25,000 to my salary.
I should be debt free by the end of the year, assuming no more hiccups in the custody battle. I'll establish a real emergency fund after that to get me through any hard times.
I just had a client who had found his house, seen it in an open house, had already gotten all of his loan info, and had his inspector ready to go. He did all of this through Google & sites like Zillow.
He just didn't know how to submit an offer. I make $2,000 when this closes for 30 minutes of work (unless something goes wrong). Which is great, but I can't imagine this will be a position that's around long term when it's becoming easier every day for the consumer to navigate this field.
My question is, how do I start the transition into another field? What fields should I be looking into? I don't really love tech work, but I'm not going to be the type who fights desperately to hold on to an outdated job. Does anyone have helpful resources on the subject?
