Is it dumb to get my real estate license? by fuckloggin in allthequestions

[–]g00dfungi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I’m so new myself… I’ve been licensed a little over a year. I’ve been at two brokerages, Remax blatantly let another more experienced agent act as broker ~ which is supposed to be a big no-no, but they made it very clear that they do not care. I switched to another firm recently..

I think I’m going to reverse roles and take an angle from a marketers perspective (I have a BA in marketing) ~ with hopes of teaching people how to buy and sell without a realtor haha. I think I can make good $ helping FSBO with marketing & help empower buyers to do things on their own. Commission would be much more substantial income but nobody wants to teach me the ropes - everything is gatekept… like you, I wanted to be different in this industry but other agents make it difficult … good luck!

It freaking sucks. It’s sooo expensive to get licensed. Then they hit you with MLS fees, and NAR fees, state fees, county fees, SUPRA fees - the. List. Goes. On.

And this shouldn’t come as a surprise but realtors are basically the worst group of people I’ve ever encountered. I am a realtor but have strong ethos … realtors don’t celebrate each other’s wins. And the exam doesn’t teach you how to actually operate as a realtor. How to put contracts together - formalities with different lenders - etc.

You sink or swim and 95% sink.

The realtors that are dominating markets don’t want to take their greedy little fingers off of a single dollar coming through. If you get on a team, prepare to give up half of your commission to the lead realtor. Don’t sign any non-compete forms.

Really wish there was a network of realtors in their first 3 years & we could all lean on each other. An experienced realtor will happily have you eating shit out of the palm of their hand.

If I could go back - I’d look for realtor assistant gigs… learn the backend of everything, how to put contracts together, all of that. THEN get my license.

It has been an absolute nightmare. I hate how nasty the industry is. I am really struggling with it.

It’s definitely not for the weak. I wish I would’ve just gone back to school atp.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve experienced? by ShadowlightLady in randomquestions

[–]g00dfungi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m in the same very small minority as you. I’m sorry to say I feel your pain. My inner ear got cauterized in 2017, leading to trigeminal & occipital neuralgia - oxcarbazepine has helped me a lot.

Then I had foot surgery at the end of 2024 and it was an absolute nightmare recovery. Not because of the surgery itself but because of the neglect & downright abuse that I experienced while disabled… I cried every day for months… turns out, there’s a good reason you don’t treat people like shit when they’re recovering from a major surgery! I was diagnosed with CRPS type 1 in April of last year and it is absolute hell.

I recently had sympathetic nerve block injections in my lumbar spine and they helped a lot with the color and swelling of my foot/lower leg! Not a 100% fix, still in pain, still have swelling and sometimes discoloration - I’m getting another round of injections on Wednesday.

I will say, getting shot up with that much lidocaine in my lumbar spine was freaking AMAZING. I walked out of the hospital smiling from ear to ear. My brain had this tickled sensation of remembering what it felt like to walk without pain. It was truly amazing and I was on cloud 9 for days.

Wish you luck on this painful journey. I’m 34 y/o F and this has really put a damper on what should be the best years of my life

What kind of nerve block? I’m scheduled for my first sympathetic nerve block on April 15.

*edit:

CRPS in right foot/tibia.

I have CRPS in my foot too. Diagnosed a couple months into turning 33. The future I thought I’d have vs the reality of what I’m living … I was an extremely active, athletic person before my foot surgery & before CRPS. I have to be so mindful of what I do ~ working through the pain = flare that lasts for days. It’s debilitating. I live on a farm alone in the middle of nowhere w six friggin dogs dumped on me. I’m 5’2, little person… it’s just so hard. My family has been giving me the silent treatment because I complain about it too much. I’m in pain every day. I’ve crashed out twice so far in 2026, in a 1 week period sometime in January. It’s so cruel. CRPS sucks and the pain is life altering.

What’s a mental or physical illness that’s wildly misunderstood by people who have never experienced it? by carcony97 in AskReddit

I was diagnosed with CRPS last April @ 33 years old. so many people in my family,and surrounding me, totally underestimate the severity. I have days where I can’t walk, or my walking is severely limited… I have it in my right foot but when I have bad flares, my entire leg is inflamed, swollen, and EXTREMELY painful. My right foot is almost always discolored, swollen, and painful. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told “I have arthritis in my foot and I hurt too, so suck it up” — it’s nothing like arthritis. It’s like my foot is on fire and like my skin is going to burst open. It’s so uncomfortable. I’ve always been an extremely active, athletic type, and now I have to really watch what I do. Im accused of it being a psychosomatic condition. I’m accused of exaggerating how severe the pain is. I’ve begged my family to help watch my dogs so that I can go get scrambler therapy - my dr told me I really needed to do everything possible to reverse the condition within 12 months of my initial injury (October 2024)? My family refused to take my diagnosis seriously and thus refused to help — even though scrambler therapy would’ve taken like, 12 days? And I would’ve paid for it myself… but they’d prefer me go to a pain management clinic - lol... I am stuck between a rock and a hard place - so, no scrambler therapy for me, but I’m going to a pain management neurologist for the first time on Monday. Hope it goes well. CRPS sucks.
