My mom teaches The Principles of Real Estate. She's been an agent for over 18 years.

I have my license, but I don't really do anything with it.
 Long story...but basically my line of work is kind of real estate management related so
there is always the chance I could help someone buy or sell something.

That would be a crap job I would think here in Indiana. We have houses everywhere that are for sale and no one is buying.

housing bubble burst. My certificate was only good for 2 years so I needed to take it before June 25th. I have a job so I have no intention of actually
pursuing it anytime soon. It's nice to have though just in case.

I am a real estate agent in Florida. I work with mainly REO properties which is a booming market (unfortunately or fortunately, however you want to look at
it.)

I'm not a realtor but I'm going for my license soon. I don't know if I'm going to like it but the agency pays for the class if you work for
them for a certain amount of time so it's worth a shot and it might be great for some extra cash. The market might suck now but it'll be nice to have
the license when it turns around. I also live in an area where real estate is ridiculously overpriced so I'm sure the pay would be decent if it's
commission based.
Speaking of pay, what is the commission that realtors usually get? |
