Looking to connect with like minded people

[Michelle Lopez]

Hey people,

I am a new real estate agent. I just got my license registered. I was hoping to know if there are any new agents in the area of North Bergen looking to connect. You don't have to be new, just looking for people to connect with over a cup of coffee. I don't want to feel alone in this and would very much like to build relationships with others on the same boat. Or if you know any real estate clubs or groups that I can join don't be afraid to pass it over.

@Michelle Lopez - Welcome! Hopefully your brokerage is connecting you with one or more mentors - I know a lot of the more experienced agents have more leads than time, so maybe you can work out something to follow up on those leads in exchange for paying a referral % and/or host open (vacant) houses to get people to add to your CRM.
For North Jersey clubs, check out BiggerPockets events, Facebook groups, Meetup events, and google for North Jersey / North New Jersey REIA. I'm part of SJREIA (South Jersey REIA) and it's great. There are also lots of Facebook groups like New / Newbie Real Estate Agents. Just avoid the urge to buy whatever they're selling to New Real Estate until you've made an informed decision. There's no magic pill. Plenty of people will be down your throat to buy Facebook or website advertisements or Zillow leads.

Also do a forum search, set up keyword alerts, and start connecting with people and/or responding to posts of people in the area. The right side tab has top contributors for New Jersey related posts, so those are great people to start with.
