New agent choosing where to start?

I’m thinking on starting a career as a real estate agent 

My question is should I consider the house market at all for where I start out? For instance one office there are only houses selling for under 200k. However another office readily sells houses 750k+. Should I consider this at all? 

Also the office that sells the higher end homes has a killer agent who id love to mentor. She sells 20+ homes a year of 500k or more. however if I worked at that office I’d have to compete in that region with her. My question is should I worry about the price of what I’m selling or instead just learn the ropes now and worry about that later? AND should I try to start where there are really successful agents like her I can be around or is that not a good idea? They might not even talk to me. Thanks

@Account Closed I would start at an office that offers education, learn the systems and processes first.  Most of the successful agents have those already in place and that's why they are so successful.   Spend your time and not your money when you first start, try not to buy leads.
