Passed Exam today!!!

[Jacob James Caballero]

As of today I am officially a licensed real estate agent! Although I am extremely excited, I am nervous about this transition. Long story short, I got a new job at Fed Ex, quit my construction job as of yesterday. I have not started at Fed Ex yet. I took the test today in Fresno and I passed the exam. I am not sure when I will start Fed Ex although I would prefer to just sell real estate I am nervous. Not just because it is commission based, but mainly because I am 21 years old and I feel like most people will not take someone of my age serious in the world of real estate. In particular selling real estate. I would appreciate anybody who has anything to say about this. Positive or negative. 

Thank you,

Jacob Caballero

Congratulations @Jacob James Caballero, congratulations on getting started at such a young age.

I would concur with @Polar Prutaseranee, @Michael Merritt and @Bryan Chavez, your age can be just as much of an asset.  You're entering into a service based business, and people are going to be far more concerned with your competence, market knowledge and confidence rather than your age.

You'd do well to read anything by Gary Vaynerchuck, Michael Maher, Bob Burg and Gary Keller (especially the Millionaire Real Estate Agent).  

A couple of great guides have been written for agents by some fellow BP'ers:

@Brandon Turner wrote a great guide for agents working with investors:

@Mindy Jensen wrote an awesome guide on how to become a successful agent:

I'm an agent & investor in Orlando, so feel free to reach out anytime.

I wish you all the best Jacob!
