So You Want to be a REAL Estate Agent?

If you think becoming a real estate agent seems like a good idea, you’re not alone. There are currently more than 2.5 million active, licensed real estate agents in the U.S., with 1.2 million of those being REALTOR members, and for good reason. Real Estate professionals enjoy flexible hours, the opportunity to be self-employed, a network of interesting people, and, of course, the money.

Much of your success in real estate is determined by your personality. It doesn’t matter who you know, how old or young you are, or your education level. What does matter is that you are an optimistic, can-do type of person who is caring and interested in others. Successful real estate agents are detail-oriented, enjoy working with people, and are great problem solvers.

This booklet has been a collaborative effort of the local Board of REALTORS® ~ Association Executives, the Wyoming Real Estate Commission and Brokers/Agents throughout our state. We hope that it will successfully guide you through the process of getting your real estate career started on the right track.
