Hi all,
My name is James and located in New York City. I am currently in the process of getting my realtor license.
I am looking to connect with more experienced realtors to figure out what I should expect and what specialties there are within the Realtor/Broker career path.
There are a few questions off the top of head.
What are some specialization of realtors? : I understand that there is commercial and residential, but there has got to be subgroups
What should I expect when first coming into the profession ?
How can I prepare myself? recommended steps 30, 60, 90-180 days of getting my realtor license
What are some effective ways to network with individuals at all levels?
I am also looking for brokerages to work with or even experienced shadow / intern for to gain experience and additional knowledge.
My current credentials:
Bachelors of science in Enterprise regulation For-profit, Non profit (Fancy way to say business law)
Currently Pursuing my MBA in Finance, expected to graduate in May,2025
