Beginner agent strategies
Hey guys! For any of the agents out there, I want to hear how you got your first sale as an agent! I've been an agent for 3 years now and I've closed two deals, but want to start using my license more, so I'd love to hear how other agents got their business rolling!

Hello Aden, I was a leasing agent in Chicago for over 3 years, I now currently work in the property management. However many of my agent friends started off similar to me in leasing and slowly transitioned to sales. Many of them found great success after their 1-2 years because many of those clients who were leasing ended up converting to homeowners a few years down the line. Just from experience if you want to use your license a bit more, look into leasing. Pay can be great and it builds your referral network as well.
