Feeling a bit discouraged

[Michael Guerra]

Hello all new to the forum and also a new agent, well not yet an agent but i passed my test. So here is why i am a bit discouraged. I signed up for my real estate pre license class, didn't miss a minute studied like crazy and passed my state exam first try. Unfortunately thats where my preparedness ends . I negloected to research what happens after you pass. Well needless to say it was a bit of shock when i found out that i couldn't really do anything until i paid my MLS fee and association fee. I knew there was some fees to be paid but not $1300 and not all up front. I will now have to wait 4-5 months to get started. Is there anything i can do in the mean time, do brokers pay for the fees or front the money with the intent to have it paid back. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel should add i plan on working as an agent full time in conjunction with another sales job
