Is 2023 a Good Year to Start Your Real Estate Career?

Is this a bad time to start your real estate career? There are so many stories about what's happening in the market, what's going to happen to the value of homes, and opinions that the market going to fall apart and agents are going to be jumping out of the industry.  

Despite the fear out there, I believe it is a great time to start a real estate career. Agents who started in the past two to three years may not have had to learn the vital skills needed to operate in a different market.

In the recent years, it seemed one could easily find people looking to buy or sell homes without much effort. As the market shifts and changes, those skills will become increasingly important to success. Therefore, realtors starting their career now have the opportunity to learn those skills and build their business from the ground up with a strong foundation, rather than having massive success and then trying to identify and fix problems.

All in all, I believe any year is a great year to start in real estate, so long as you have a plan in place, systems in place, and are willing to do the work.
