Getting licensed typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on your state and how quickly you complete the required pre-licensing course and schedule your exam. Some agents move even faster if they’re focused and ready to go.

Startup costs vary by state, but on average, you can expect to invest around $300 to $500 to get licensed. This includes your pre-licensing course, exam fees, background check, and your state license application. Some agencies may reimburse you or offer support once you're onboarded.

Yes, this is a commission-based career, but with high earning potential. You earn a commission for every plan you enroll, and those commissions renew annually, creating residual income over time. Many agents build a solid, recurring income within their first couple of years. New agents often earn up to $60,000 in their first year, and that's just the starting point.

Absolutely. Many agents start part-time while working another job or managing other responsibilities. You can scale your hours and income over time, making this a great option for those seeking flexibility and long-term growth.
