It's a good time to start a career in real estate
Real estate offers independence, control over income and dynamic, exciting work.
Agents are earning more
More homes on the market and higher prices mean real estate agents’ incomes continue to be on the rise.
Top performers are reporting a 20%+ growth in income over the last three years.
A happy profession
Fun fact: In a 2015 CareerBliss survey of 65,000 people in dozens of professions, real estate agents scored significantly higher than average for career happiness. They gave the profession an average rating of 4.25 out of 5 stars.
Why is that? Work-life balance, independence and control over income were commonly cited.
A dynamic business
For many, real estate is not just about making a living — it’s about pursuing a passion. Imagine being able to see, market and sell a wide range of residential and commercial properties day in, day out.
Rather than sitting behind a desk or in meetings all day, real estate professionals are constantly on the move.
I have called the McKissock member service team with questions about courses and have always had a friendly, knowledgable person on the line to assist me.
- Cynthia G., REAL ESTATE, Indiana
My competency improvement after taking McKissock courses allowed me to accept assignments I wouldn’t have felt comfortable with before.
- Evan N., APPRAISAL, Connecticut
Time is my greatest resource. And I don’t have time to sit through a class, or spend large blocks of time studying. I like the McKissock courses because it allows me complete my continuing education at my own pace, and on my own time.
- John M., APPRAISAL, New York
Because I work on a variety of assignments, McKissock’s new class material has been very helpful to me. No one wants to take the same course material every two years.
- Lara D., APPRAISAL, Illinois
I enjoy the ease of McKissock, and have used them for years. The things I’ve learned through their courses help me provide proper knowledge and service to my clients.
