You're doing it wrong. You should be finding houses to sell that are owned by recently widowed millionaires. You go there to seemingly pitch your selling skills, but are actually there to pitch your bedroom skills. The rich, old lady takes a shining to you and then makes you her boy toy. You put up with old lady sex for a year or two until she croaks and then inherit her place and money.
If people want to become realtors, bartenders, etc. and think there is so much money in it, and it's so easy, there aren't many barriers to entry. If you want to be a lawyer, accountant, engineer there is schooling and articling to go through that take a lot of time, and it's not likely a 40 year old wants to start at the bottom in these professions. These people should just become a realtor if they think it is that easy. It's like pro golfers that think the long putter is an unfair advantage. These golfers are also allowed to use it. There is literally nothing stopping them. Instead of complaining about all the money you think a realtor is making, go make it yourself. I am meaning the general "you", as clearly you are already a realtor. I think I would make a good realtor, as I am good at sales. I choose not to be because I don't want to work 7 days a week, I want to take a holiday without feeling like I am losing money, and I don't want to build a brand/client base. There are some very successful realtors out there, but there are also a lot of miserable ones.
