During this difficult housing crisis,Real Estate Agent Careers - Where To Go In Tough Times Articles real estate agents who have been successful are starting to feel the effects. As the housing market continues to dive and values keep tumbling, many agents who have been successful in the past have gone quite a few months without a commission.

Why keep fighting if the circumstances are out of your control? If you have a proven record as a real estate agent, you have the experience and proven track record to be successful in a home based business.

Why look at a home based business? Realtors work long hours, as you well know. Nights away from your family in order to show homes, missed weekends doing open houses, hours at the office getting houses ready to show. Is it really worth the sacrifices you are making in a sinking market? If there were a better way to earn a solid income without the bad economy, would you do it?

By using your marketing skills that you have acquired over time as a real estate agent, you can easily convert your knowledge to a results oriented home business. By using your abilities to teach others, you will build a team much as a real estate agent does. Knowing how to get leads and use your leadership skills will help you to do this.

What kind of a career could you go into to do this? Financial education is a quickly growing market. By using the bad economy to your advantage, you can teach your customers how to eliminate debts and to begin to create wealth. This is an ongoing, growing relationship, as your clients start small and begin to experience more success.

Many former agents are experiencing the wealth this business can generate. By looking into this opportunity, you will find ways to be in charge of your money. This will put you in control of your money, leaving you where you are not dependent on an employer or the tough housing market.

Successful real estate agents can translate that success in to a home based business. The ability to work independently, knowledge of market techniques, ability to communicate, the proven results, and aggressive sales skills will help you to quickly grow into a six-figure income.

If you begin to look around the Internet, you will find many good opportunities in direct sales. But make sure you do your due diligence before selecting a company.

Good luck to you!
