It's like that in the States too? It's not just that, there are also allot of part-time agents or agents have a license. It doesn't make sense to let my license lapse (although it does cost something to maintain it) because I do occasionally make something from time to time, and at the time I got my license, which was 1997, I don't regret the decision, in the circumstances that I was in, to obtain this license because having more options rather than less is never a bad decision. I gave it a try but it doesn't work out for me but eventually landed in residential type Real-Estate and even that hasn't worked out very well (i.e. still living at home and straddled in a bankruptcy process).
I think women do well in Real-Estate. They can advertise they are in Real-Estate and get away with being successful. With men it's different. Unless you are really successful, you might be failing badly. If you look at guys profiles how many guys do you see who is in Real-Estate and bragging about that? Maybe Real-Estate is like the dating market. Only Chad-like white salespeople really make a killing or hot women because people love working with them. Average looking guys end up living with their parents because they can't find people to work with properly. You are in sales. Do you think that's why you are at home too?
Having no active users is better than being rejected by most of the active users so whatever you are saying doesn't sound so bad. It's not an ego-hit if there is no woman around to approach since you can't get rejected.
Around here I literally see no men real estate agents in this area! It's mostly women around 45 to 60 it seems. It almost makes me wonder then if they even make that much money around here.
At my part time job we have one of those. Great personality, cute for her age and her age can relate to the older locals, and overall very very extroverted perfect personality for an agent and she only had a couple sales. The market very saturated here with most agents being middle aged women and extroverts. All the realtors say same thing too much competition.
The realtor we used up north to sell our house was a guy in his 50s. Extroverted and hyper. He sold a lot of houses but hustles a lot. Hed be up until 2am working. And working like 7 days a week trying to pump houses out. He did alright but a huge amount of effort on his part.
Again the work he did was a lot and makes you even wonder if it's worth the hours.
Commercial real estate seems to be better if you can get in it.
A lot of those women realtors likely just making enough to get by.
You can have a fancy job title like realtor doesn't mean you're making money.
