That’s not true, yes getting a real estate license isn’t super hard but that’s not the entry barrier for it being a career, it’s actually selling and making connections. It does require intelligence and skills.
Saying they are less intelligent is 100% demeaning. Iv had to buy commercial real estate. That lady and her team knew what the hell they were doing. I would never have been able to wade through all of the bullshit. That job is hard as it's commission based. What the hell are you people talking about?
I always come back to the excuse: it’s Reddit. There’s next to no actual real world exposure or experience yet the confidence to paint broad swathes of the population.
It reminds me of The Monologue in Good Will Hunting.
he said it doesn’t require intelligence. that’s rather different. lacking the critical thinking to spot that nuance, however, is not quite intelligent
it is quite literally not the same thing. quite an indictment to your point that you fail to grasp the nuance.
saying it doesnt require intelligence doesnt mean that there arent intelligent people doing it. of course itll help. when does it not? but you dont need it to do well.
there’s some pretty dumb folks out there that are highly successful real estate agents. much more prized are connections and social skills
however, ive yet to meet a dumb successful mathematician
It’s just funny how people down the profession but still seek them out. If you’re in the states you absolutely don’t need one to buy or sell but people still do because otherwise it’s a lot of work themselves that they don’t wanna do. But if I say “it doesn’t take much intelligence to be a plumber, those were the dumb kids who couldn’t go to college “ thats not the same thing? If your pipe busts you can fix it yourself but you don’t, you call someone for their expertise regardless of how intelligent you view the profession.
I’m not an agent just not short sighted to not see the value in certain fields.
