Big Mistakes & Nightmares

[Jose Vazquez]

As a new agent for KW I’m wondering what costly mistakes Real Estate agents commonly make in the beginning of their careers? Also, on the flip-side, what are some of the things agents do right away that benefit them and keep them on track? I’d like to avoid as many nightmares as I could. I’m aware adversity builds character and moves you forward but at the same time I don’t want to be stupid lol. I look up to everyone on BP. I like to think of you guys as a personal hub of mentors & I’d like to thank everyone and anyone in advance for any advice. It’s much appreciated. :)

@Jose Vazquez don't spend a bunch of money on all the various things you can spend money on as a realtor! I wasted a lot of money on different online lead generation tools, etc. Spend you time marketing to your sphere, talking to people, going to networking group, and just generally providing value to those around you. There is an allure to the training programs that are out there, but the reality is that this business takes time to get started. 

I would also read @Mark Fergusons book "How to Make it Big as a Real Estate Agent'. That little books has helped me grow my business into a six figure business in three years.
