Unexperienced Real Estate Agent Aspiring to Become a Broker

[Account Closed]

Hi, 

I'm a 20 year old that has had a FL real estate license for two years now. So far I haven't had a client. I've door-knocked neighbors and cold-called expired listings but with no success. Maybe I should've persisted-I possibly could have gotten better at it and maybe could have landed a client. However, due to to my mildly shy and reserved nature, I am considering upgrading my license to broker status- I'd rather have agents working for me and not have to initiate conversations and cajole clientele. The problem is I don't have the experience necessary to set up and operate a brokerage (I know money is another factor as well but I plan on doing this in the near future). To offset my lack of experience and knowledge, I've thought about becoming a broker associate at my current brokerage and receive mentoring from the principal broker and possibly read books that may augment my theoretical and practical knowledge in operating a brokerage. 

If anyone would be kind enough to share their thoughts and/or advice on how I can acquire the knowledge to operate a brokerage, please do so, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Luis O.
