As the Director of Sales & Recruiting at Weichert Realtors®-Frankel & Giles, many have asked if this is the right time to get a real estate license. My answer is yes! If you believe the real estate stories, in the media about the current state of the real estate industry, they would make you think this is not true. However, in reality, this is the BEST time to get licensed!
People will always need somewhere to live, whether they chose to buy or rent and this will never change. The housing market has shifted, but agents are adjusting which is resulting in their continued success. With low interest rates and huge discounts being offered, shoppers are out in full swing looking to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.
If you are self-motivated, dedicated, hard working, and a social networking expert, real estate could be the exact thing you need to consider. Newer agents are finding success, because they are good at using social networking sites to get noticed! They also are joining the industry doing it the “right way” and are willing to learn the basics of selling real estate, which experienced agents typically find hard to do.
Getting a license fairly simple, and can be done with a 45 hour on-line course. The start-up costs are minimal, especially compared to a 4 year college degree, and your income is likely to far exceed any other profession. If you are interested in finding out more about how to get your license and opportunities now available at our South Loop location, I would be happy to meet with you to point you in the right direction. Please email me at brivera@frankelgiles.com to schedule your personal meeting and visit our website at www.frankelgiles.com to see our company history. I can guarantee…if you decide to get into real estate, you will be glad you did!

The Senate has amended a bill to give homebuyers who were under contract on a home purchase by April 30 an additional three months to close the deal and claim the federal homebuyer tax credit.
Extending the deadline for closing from June 30 to Sept. 30 would allow lenders more time to clear a backlog of 180,000 homebuyers nationwide, said amendment sponsor Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The amendment to HR 4213, the “American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010″ — which primarily extends unemployment insurance benefits — was approved in a vote on Wednesday.
For more information please contact a Weichert Realtors, Frankel & Giles Agent.

significant amount of contracts being written since April 30th not only in 60616 but throughout the rest of the South Loop as well.
