Real estate can be a great career for those who have the entrepreneurial drive to forge their own way and control their own professional destiny and enjoy working with others. A large majority of real estate agents are independent contractors, making them ultimately responsible for how they run their business.

It's no secret that the real estate lifestyle isn't for everyone. If you're really happy punching a clock and being told what to do, and when to do it, this may not be the right fit for you. However, if you enjoy having control of how you work, how high you rise in your career and enjoy doing work that makes a difference in people's lives, affiliating with Coldwell Banker Real Estate can be a great decision for your real estate career path. It's likely you'll find the culture of your local Coldwell Banker office is in harmony with this mindset. While the entrepreneurial nature of your real estate business puts you in control of your work/life balance, we find that many successful Coldwell Banker affiliated real estate professionals work in a state of work/life integration. Their love for what they do means that their business is ingrained in all they do, and those things that they are passionate about outside of their career soon become woven into how they do business. Whether it's championing a local artist group, networking over food or wine, or being highly active in the community where they live, work and play, there are many daily activities that can build and strengthen relationships that reveal business opportunities.
