Is Real Estate Right for You?
An honest conversation from a broker who’s been in the trenches for nearly 30 years.
If you’re thinking about getting your real estate license but you’re unsure if this path actually fits your life,
personality, or goals—you’re in the right place.
This free video isn’t hype. It’s not HGTV. And it’s not a sales pitch.
It’s the real deal.
Before you spend time, money, or energy on a license...
Most people think real estate is about showing houses, flexible schedules, and big commission checks. The truth? Real estate can be incredibly rewarding—but it is also:
Self-employed, commission-based work
Inconsistent income (especially at the beginning)
Emotionally demanding
Relationship-driven
Built by you, not handed to you
In this free video, Janis Benstock—real estate broker, instructor, and educator—walks you through what you actually need to know before deciding if real estate is right for you.
In this free video, you'll learn:
Why real estate is not what you see on TV
What it really means to be commission-based and self-employed
How real estate licensing works (and what school actually teaches)
The real biggest hurdle in real estate (hint: it’s not the exam)
The personality traits that tend to thrive in this business
Alternatives for people who want real estate but need stability
The most important question you must ask yourself before enrolling in class
