Why Most Realtors Quit (And What It Means for You)
Becoming a realtor sounds exciting—flexible schedule, big commissions, helping people find their dream homes. But here’s the reality: most realtors don’t last long.
- 75% quit in their first year.
- 87% are gone by five years.
Why? Real estate can be tough. No steady paycheck, unpredictable market, and a lot of learning on the go. If you’re thinking about starting, you need:
- Good training or mentorship
- A financial safety net
- Patience and persistence
Success is possible, but it takes preparation and grit. Don’t be surprised if the road is harder than you imagined—but for those who stick with it, the rewards can be big.
