If you're new to the real estate profession, here are some worthwhile expectations in order to avoid surprises.

• Be prepared to reap the full benefits of your chosen career only if you are truly motivated and committed. Many companies falsely assume that only self-starters become successful real estate agents. At Park Regency Realty, because of our established and proven systems and support, we are able to guide people who were otherwise thought of as non self-starters.
• There are highs and lows in any sales career and real estate is no exception. Some months will be higher-producing than others.
• Consistency over time is really the key to your success.
• If you're currently in the decision process to join the real estate profession, expect to invest $1,000 during the first three months as your startup costs to cover licensing, education, initial marketing materials and other fees.
