Fancy cars and fat commission checks for opening a few doors — that’s what it’s like to be a real estate agent, right?

All it takes is one day on the job to know that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“I thought you were an agent?”

“Oh yeah, that too.”

In this video, a series of industry pros debunk the myths the public loves to believe about the posh real estate life and tells it like it really is.
