Approach RE agencies while getting license? Or after it's done
Hi folks,
I'm in the process of studying for my RE salesperson license in CA, a state which has a mandatory minimum time for training before taking the exam. So I have 2-3 months until I can get my license.
Do you recommend that I approach RE agencies now and get things rolling? Or do I need to wait until I'm actually licensed before reaching out to these places?
I'm in Los Angeles, so I have a packed market and lots and lots of options for agencies. I'm leaning towards approaching the larger ones for training purposes...
Thanks!
