Is leasing not for me?

I joined a brokerage and have been doing pretty decent already have 5 deals under my belt. Past few weeks though I’ve had a lot of no shows or flaky clients. A few beyond rude ones. Despite always working in customer service my whole life, reminds me how I am actually not a people person.
The leasing exam I thought wasn’t going to be too bad from what I heard from others. Passed my class test first try with an 85%, and studied however much I could when I’m not working. School I was never a great test taker but still got a 3.77 gpa in college, never got below a B. Long and behold, I failed twice and my student permit expires next week. I told myself if I failed again I would look for another path that it would be better off financially and mentally.

However, I am struggling to figure out what else I could do and I generally like real estate and the quirks that come with it other than the people and commissions. And when I have nice client, I enjoy working with them. This week have been getting great leads which makes me want to stay.

I only plan on staying in Illinois for a year and most states don’t require a leasing license, so not sure if its worth the financial stress to pay extra to retake again and possibly take time off my other two jobs. I’m not sure what to do and am beyond stressed with this. I literally do not know what i could do instead that im good at has decent flexibility and pay. I am horrible at math and pretty bad at understanding technology so i feel that limits my career choices if i can’t do real estate if Im not a people person on top of that.

im looking for advice and also want to know is it uncommon to have to take the leasing exam three times? all i can find online is people giving advice about the broker exam which i know is definitely no nonsense.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
