Kind of late reply but thought I'd throw in my two cents anyways.

Personally I wouldn't recommend anybody going into Real Estate anymore, talked one of my friends out of it.

The lower mainland "Real Estate Boom" is long gone. The market has in my opinion plateau'd and there's no way our prices will keep rising. I predict there will be a decent drop coming soon.

80% of all Real Estate money are made by 20% of the Realtors. Being a new realtor you struggle with clientbase whereas all the big realtor names already have a huge list, and usually their clients will always spread word of mouth to their friends who are looking to buy/sell their home.

As mentioned before in this thread if your immediate network of friends are 25-30 and under you will also struggle big time with networking.

I do B2B with 3 realtors and all of them say its a tough market to tap into right now.
