New real estate agent advice

[Patrick Flanagan]

Hey bp!

My wife is a new real estate agent and with this virus going around she has had a very hard time reaching new clients.

Obviously this is a hard time for us all, but what are some tips she can be doing right now to learn and benefit her as a new agent?

@Patrick Flanagan, how new? If she's brand new she needs to be using this time to study and learn until she can't take anymore. When I first got my license, I printed out all the major contracts and read them word for work over and over again. You would be surprised how many agents don't know what the contracts say! Consume real estate agent podcasts and forums. This is the time to study hard, while it's not so busy. Maybe find a friendly agent in her company, and offer to help them for free or whatever it takes to gain experience and knowledge. Being a good agent takes a lot of work and you have to pay your dues somehow. Get as much experience as possible.

If she already knows what she's doing and is just looking for business, there are a thousand ways to generate leads. Listen to Pat Hiban's podcast and you'll hear how each agent is generating business. Find Bigger Pockets Podcast featuring real estate agents and listen to those. There is so much information out there. 

I've been it for 4 years, so I remember clearly how much you don't know when you first start out. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
