I’m currently a wedding photographer looking to move into real estate photography/become an agent. I currently do a lot of traveling for my business out of state and want to cut down on that. I’m used to being a business owner and growing a clientele, so I’m not afraid of that.

I have a meeting with two people. One with Keller Williams and one with a private agency. The owner at the private agency already wants to hire me to do real estate photography, but I will have to become an agent with my own funds (classes and licensing).

Keller Williams sounds like it won’t cost me anything but it’s further away from me and no opportunity for real estate photography (yet).

I really want to go with the private agency as the owner sounds really awesome and will even seek a better space for the team at this location so I can have my own desk.

(Also… what do you do in office everyday as a realtor???? a new one?)

I have so much to learn and I admit that. I want to do what’s best for me in the long run. I am scared to pay a lot of money just to never sell a house.

I don’t need a ton of extra income but enough to have some extra for my husband and I, he’s the bread winner (somewhat… I make great money with wedding photography but it’s VERY stressful and takes a lot out of me) We do want to start a family soon so I still can’t give up the flexibility of being a business owner.

Who would you go with?
