I was a Realtor for several years. Hardest job I ever had. You work every day....or you should if you like money. Someone calls during half time of the Super Bowl and you get off your ass and show the house. It could mean $10k in your pocket. Some buyers look for months on end and never end up buying. So many hours spent for nothing. Then you get someone that buys on the first day of showing them homes. You just never know. I had a good partner and we did just fine, but I didn't like it very much.
