Thank you for the well thought out and insightful response!!! Great advice!

THANK you for the good input.:)

I understand its crucial...but this firm would not allow me to work with sellers.....do open houses.....nor create listings..I just don't know if that is the norm.I understand the prospecting part and its importance.

Hi all!! I am a brand new agent and long time teacher.I am in the process of finding a firm that is the right fit and making it full time.

Question: IS it the norm for new agents to start as buyers agents? Is it an unspoken requirement?

** I am willing to do it of course but prospecting in the phone for buyers 6 hrs a day is not what I envisioned..The one firm ( team) wanta me to handlebonly the buyer side while one person deals with negotiations/ listings and one handles the contract.

Please help a newbie out.:)))

yes ..I hear you all..I just am not happy after 13 years of teaching...if anything Is rather get a part time job...start traditional real estate and then invest.Continuing teaching is no longer an option for my happiness.

Why?? Because, I want a career and I wanted the knowledge. I also thought it would be more "safe" to invest and never be accused of brokering without a license.

sorry I passed my course and the National and state exam..I am a NC broker.:)....pending my acceptance in the mail.;)

Hi Everyone!  So, I am a full time teacher and in the last year got very interested in real estate.  I LOVE the idea of investing and even tried the wholesaling for a bit.  However, I felt I needed more knowledge and credibility.  I now have passed and am awaiting my confirmation via mail any day now.

I want to quit teaching and start full time with Real Estate ( in the next few months).  I need some practical How To knowledge on getting started.  Any and all advice welcome and appreciated!!
