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.
