Advice for a College Student RE Agent
Hello everyone,
I am currently a junior year college student who just got my RE salesperson license. I am extremely excited to get started on my journey as I love real estate and want to get a head start in the industry. Over the past month or two I have shadowed and spoken to many agents to get their advice and learn from experience. As the school year progresses I have limited availability, making it pretty impossible to take on full sales transactions. Therefore, I haven't really began marketing myself and am only a part time agent, meaning I do not get leads and what not. However, I'm determined to utilize my license by focusing on rentals and exploring alternative income streams within the industry. My brokerage currently has very little rentals and they all go to one agent, making it hard to acquire any rental sales which would fit into my schedule as they require much less of a time commitment. So, I am seeking advice/ideas from other agents on if it is possible to acquire rental listings on my own, or if there are some other ways I could use my license, other than taking on full sales transactions, to generate some income. Thank you!
