Are you a hot chick with big tits? If not you're already at a severe disadvantage
A friend of mine is a smart, hardworking hot chick with big tits. She tried to get into selling real estate last year and didn't really have any success at it. I think a lot of it had to do with her timing getting into the business and it seems to be the good old boy system here. Only the well established, well known agents do much here.

You need to have a couple of years of living expenses. A couple of the top residential agents in New Orleans literally made $0 their first year.
Also, as someone already noted, commercial real estate and residential real estate are two different animals. The former is dominated by men, the latter by women. An attractive female agent will get much higher offers from a house from a male buyer and slightly higher offers from a female buyer. A male agent can look like Brad Pitt and it has no effect on the offers. (There have actually been studies showing this.)
