A few years ago, my wife decided she wanted to go into real estate. She got her brokers license and started out with a local real estate company. She was making good money for a while, but when the market turned sour, she hit a rough patch like everyone else.
I was surprised when she left the agency she was with. It wasn’t really the right time to start her own business, but she’s really turned it around. I honestly don’t know how she does it. She hasn’t sold that many properties, but she’s making tons of money doing “consulting services” for buyers.
I didn’t even know this was a thing, but she gets people to pay her just to show them houses and apartments. I guess it’s mostly people who want to invest in real estate, guys that are looking to buy an apartment or a house and rent it out. She said that’s why they always come alone–their wives don’t need to see the place.
She gets a lot of repeat business and tons of referrals from happy customers. They pay her a few hundred dollars and she’ll spend an hour or two showing them all sorts of stuff. One of my coworkers even used her a few times. I feel bad for taking his money, but he said it was totally worth it and he’ll use her again soon.
She’s gotten so busy that she’s even been able to hire a few of her friends, turning bored housewives into real money makers!
