When Is the Best Time to Become a Real Estate Agent?

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a real estate agent—especially here in the Greater Fort Hood–Killeen area—you’re probably wondering:

“When is the right time to get into real estate?”

The truth?The best time to start is NOW.And in a military-driven market like ours, the opportunity has never been better. Whether you're a transitioning service member, veteran, military spouse, or simply someone with a passion for helping people, this region offers unique advantages that make real estate one of the strongest career paths you can choose.

Why NOW Is a Great Time to Get into Real Estate

1. The Fort Hood Area is One of the Most Resilient Markets in Texas

Unlike typical cities, our local housing market is powered by:

• Constant PCS cycles

• Steady military relocation traffic

• Growing civilian population

• Strong rental demand

• Affordable home prices compared to major Texas metros

This creates a dependable flow of buyers and sellers—something brand-new agents can plug into immediately.

2. Military Families Need Skilled Agents Who Understand Their World

At Homevets Realty, we’ve served thousands of military families since 1984.The needs of these families are unique, and not every agent is trained to meet them.

That means huge opportunity for motivated new agents who want to:

• Work with VA buyers

• Help military families relocate smoothly

• Serve veterans with respect, patience, and real-world understanding

• Build a career with purpose, not just commissions

If you are a veteran or military spouse, your experience becomes your greatest competitive advantage.

3. The Market Has Shifted — and That’s Good for New Agents

Most people think they shouldn’t enter real estate when the market is slower.But here’s the truth:

👉 Slow markets create strong agents.👉 Fast markets create order-takers.

Right now, buyers and sellers want:

• Guidance

• Expertise

• Negotiation

• Strategy

• Real follow-up

• Real coaching

This is the perfect environment for learning, mastering skills, and building long-term success.

4. Technology Has Leveled the Playing Field

You no longer need 20 years of experience to win.With today’s tools, a new agent can look just as sharp and capable as a seasoned agent—if they join the right brokerage.
