Just Passed RE Exam in IL! Looking to make connections!

[Rob Shah]

Hey BG RE Agents/Brokers,

I am excited to say, 'I passed my RE Exam in IL'!  Who ever said it was easy, is wrong!  It was hard for sure.  Super happy I passed.

I am now excited to start my RE journey.  My first order of business is to find a good brokerage where I can learn, get trained and help where I can.  I am located in the suburbs of Chicago so if anyone has any leads/connections to pass on that would be super helpful to get going  I initially want to start as a part-time agent so I can keep my current income in place then transition to full time once my book of business gets bigger.  I look forward to working with you all in this forum.  

Any other tips to get started on my RE journey?  Thank you all in advance for your support and assistance?

BTW - I am planning to get the PRO membership for BG.  :-)

Successful selling!

Thank you @Dalyn Hazell for those great golden nuggets.  I will reach out to eXp Realty.  You are right, I need to start with lead generation but dont I need a listing first?  I was thinking that I would get my first listing with a brokerage and begin my marketing campaign from there?  Or am I totally out in left field here.  :-)

Thank you @Canaan Murray, you are soo kind to help me in this process.  I would love to discuss some topics with you.  Can you PM so we can connect via phone this week?
