First Year as a Real Estate Agent

[Ben Morand]

Hi guys!

My name is Ben Morand. I am currently a second-year finance student at the University of Florida. Currently I am working on obtaining my Sales Associate license and while I do plan on trying to start part-time while in college, my questions in this thread pertain more so to my first year out of college doing it full-time.

So, what I am wondering is how hard it is to make a good living ($60,000+) in your first year as an agent? I would greatly appreciate any insight on this as well as any tips if people have them (key marketing strategies, building referral rapport, brokerages, software, etc).

I have some pretty hefty investment goals in both stocks and real estate and I would ideally like to make a decent living in the profession as early as I can so that I can start pushing hard towards my goals.

I am willing to put in as many hours of work as needed and also I’d be open to reaching out to any people that would be able to help.

Thanks so much guys!
