Being a real estate agent comes with a cost.
“There are more costs associated with being a real estate agent, and especially a Realtor (which is a trademarked professional organization that you have to pay for separately from getting your license) than most realize. Between license fees, realtor dues, MLS fees, splits/desk fees with your brokerage, and marketing materials, it’s pretty difficult to even make a living as an agent, let alone get rich.“
