What to do after getting real estate license?

[Courtney Lea Klein]

Hello everyone!

This is my first forum post so I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Courtney, I'm 21 years old, and I live in Kennesaw, Georgia! I'm still fairly new to BP, well real estate in general for that matter, so please excuse my terminology if I get it confused. I'm currently enrolled in a program to get my real estate sales license. I've been educating myself on real estate investing on my own terms and was persuaded to get my license by a friend's mother who is an active agent. I never realized that the broker companies "interviewed you" and try to encourage you to join their company, which is slightly relieving, but I'd like to find the best broker for me. I'm looking to use my agent skills to become an investor further on down the line, but I'm still in the very beginning stages of learning the subject entirely. I'd like to find a broker that will provide the best training and guidance for me to become the most educated agent/investor I can be instead of one that will just put me at a desk and tell me to get to work on the first day. In other words I would like to find a little bit of hand holding in the beginning. I've heard Keller Williams has nice training programs for beginners, but that's only a single experience I've heard about. I find myself learning more and more about the subject every day, so I'm super open-minded to ALL advice! Does anybody else have any other experiences or suggestions to share? Thanks a bunch!
