What are the pros and cons as a real estate broker?

Telecommunications and the Internet make it possible for real estate brokers and agents to work from home. Most construction executives have the freedom to make their own schedule. People who enjoy interacting with and helping others may find this construction career rewarding. However, most real estate construction executives do not work a standard, 9-to-5 workweek. In fact, agents and brokers often work more than 40 hours per week. Evening and weekend work is common to accommodate their clients' needs. The field is competitive, and the technology investments required to start can be expensive.
