No doubt.
Will also take a sizeable book of business to live large. The agents that do well have in excess of 3,000 book of business.
However, you do as most do. Start small and as you grow, you can add staff, specially solicitors that can do the legwork for you.
The ones that do very well have great solicitors lining up all the future business.
