Do you have a family member or friend who is currently working as a real estate

Do you have a family member or friend who is currently working as a real estate salesperson (or broker)? If so, have you consulted them for advice regarding a possible career in real estate? If you do not personally know any real estate agents, please consider dropping by an ‘open house’ in your neighborhood and mention to the salesperson on duty that you are a real estate student and you’d like to know some of their thoughts on a possible career in real estate. If you do attend an open house, please do not stay too long as the salesperson needs to spend time with a potential buyer or future client.
If you do not know any real estate professionals at all nor have the time to stop by an open house, please post some of your own thoughts about going into the real estate business. Or as a last resort, post a meaningful response to any of your classmates posting.
