Want to be a agent. What should I be doing?

[Account Closed]

Hello BP,

I currently live in Calgary Alberta and will soon be moving back to the states in approx. 6 months. So far I am deciding between Florida, California, S Carolina or Las Vegas. I know I want to be a realtor and am constantly checking blogs and forums like BP trying to learn about the field. My question is, what should I be doing now that would be beneficial for my career? Should I start building an online presence? Reading certain books? Saving money?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Aside from the other very true comments here I'd start watching the ongoing news from Inman and the local clubs where you intend to land.  The other topic that's of high interest to me right now is how is the RE community adapting to the inbound marketing concepts that are all the rage nowadays.  

BEST LUCK!
