yeah there is about $1,000 up front cost after you pay for the course and the errors and omissions insurance, the test, business cards, signs, etc.... Definately not a get rich quick type business. You could get your license and become a referral agent. basically you just have to take the course and the test probably 300 bucks or so. Then you hang your license with a company and anytime you know of a friend or relative or someone the is going to buy or sell a house you call a realtor that you have a mutual agreement with and he pays you 35% of the commission which could be anywhere from $1,000 bucks and up depending on the price of the house.

So for just referring a name you get paid not a bad deal esp. if you know a lot of people just starting out looking to buy their first condo or small home, friends getting married, parents friends that maybe are looking to downsize cause kids are gone. etc...
