Someone with experience to speak from only please…

I have been approached by a very large real estate company with the opportunity to become a real estate agent. Considering the investment required and the current economic and market conditions, what does anyone think about beginning a career in real estate right now?

I am planning to buy a home around $700K in New York City. I’m wondering if I will save any money by becoming a licensed real estate agent/broker (I realize I have to take the test and pass) and then purchasing the home for myself. I would think that by doing this, I would save the broker commission that I would otherwise be paying another real estate agent/broker. Is this a valid assumption? Please provide any information about this. Thanks a lot.
