New Real Estate Agent

[Jesse Lewis]

Hello everyone.

I am scheduling the course I need to take in order to become a licensed real estate agent.

The goals are....

#1. Use this profession to get as involved as possible in real estate.

#2. Raise cash to buy real estate.

What I would like to know is how to be really good at it.

My questions are...

What books should I be reading as a beginner realtor?

What should I be focusing on for marketing as a beginner realtor?

What actions should I be focusing on for the first month as a beginner realtor?

Thank you all in advance for your input and feel free to add any advice I didn't include.

I am at the stage where I don't know what I don't know

When you interview with prospective brokerage offices, ask them the same specific questions and compare notes on the answers.  Also ask specifically if you can join a team as a buyer's agent, or a listing agent, or even mirror one of the team members in a mentorship program.  Many brokerage offices have programs such as this to bring their new agents up to speed and get them producing faster.

You do not have to participate in such a program longer than needed, but I highly suggest that, in order to really learn the business well, do this for the first 6 months at minimum, then decide next steps.

Good luck.
