Successful AGENTS!!! I need your help

[Jeremy Jackson]

I'm retiring from my current occupation early November.  I'll be obtaining my real estate license at that time and going head first.  I have a few investment properties, so not completely ignorant to real estate, but new to the agent side of things.

What questions should I be asking brokers?  I've already started talking to a few friends that are agents.  They tend to say the same things, "This place is awesome!"  "I love everything!" 

What can I be doing now to pave the road ahead?  I'm relocating to Louisville so I'll be leaving my established network here in TX to pursue this new field.  I do have a small network (professional and personal) in Louisville. I do quite a bit of professional reading and spend plenty of time on bigger pockets

This most helpful piece of advice I've received so far is to have a few months worth of living expenses in savings before taking the leap. 

Any info you have is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
