A career in real estate is very interesting. One seldom knows what the next day will bring. You can begin at any age over 18 and can remain in this exciting profession for as long as you wish. There is no mandatory retirement age. Speaking English as a second language need not be a deterrent; as a matter of fact, it can be an asset. What you do need is an outgoing personality and a desire to become the best in your field.
