Some people enjoy handing responsibilities over to a boss, but others crave the autonomy that self-employment can bring. If that sort of freedom appeals to you, exploring careers in real estate with an eye to starting your own business could be a wise career move. The specialists at EXIT Realty Nexus, a franchise with real estate listings in the Minneapolis area, offers these reasons for taking the plunge:

• Financial Independence: If you start your own real estate business, you're in the driver seat when it comes to your finances. If you want to dramatically increase your income, you can seek out real estate listings that will boost your revenues so that this increase may be realized. 
• Job Security: If you've ever been downsized or laid off, you know that there is no such thing as job security when you're working for someone else. As a real estate entrepreneur, you can ensure job security by creating and maintaining a business that is profitable and sound.
• Recognition: If you're working for yourself, you can step into your gifts and allow them to shine. There are lots of regional and national awards that recognize talented entrepreneurs, and if you do outstanding work, you'll be on the receiving end of these accolades.
• Giving Back: Many of us have ideas about what we'd like to do to help make the world a better place. As a real estate entrepreneur, you get to decide how to spend your company's profits. If there's a charity that holds a special place in your heart, you can choose to become a donor.
