@Emily Smith this is an unfortunate situation. From what I can see as I have been in this position multiple times, you know the answer to your question. You are looking for confirmation and support in what you feel - you have it.

Even if this man has no interest in Real Estate, he SHOULD have an interest in YOU. Your dreams, your goals, your love for this and if he doesn't, it's most likely something deep down in him. Instead of congratulating you and being happy for you, I think he is envious of your success as he has very little going for him.

Not to be harsh but he sounds like a mooch and you sound like you're motivated, goal oriented, successful and more. Staying with him will only bring you down and you need a partner who is willing and happy to be an everyday cheerleader and be just as excited for you as you are! Sounds like he will soon start to drain you of your energy and motivation and kill your spirit that you have for your career, don't let that happen!

Good luck to you.

@Brent Paul I'm hearing similar information, I'm not naive to think clients are going to come pounding on my door. I have a friend that actually did have that happen to him, but his first few clients really pushed out referrals for him!

I've only been a licensed agent for a month, so I'm still trying to find meet ups that aren't just cocktail parties and no business being done.

@Suny Capezzuto I love making connections with people in my area! I'd love to chat with you and pick your brain about what you know and your experiences.

@Mark Sullivan Awesome to hear! Good luck! I love it so far but my advice for you is, have a very good amount of money set aside before starting! Get used to rejection and being uncomfortable! And do not give up! It's a rough start but if you love what you're doing it will be well worth it.

@Caleb Heimsoth where would be a good place to learn all about investing?

@Abel Curiel thank you! I keep hearing and reading people saying "make calls" who should I be calling? Where do I get info from?

Hello!

I’m a new agent and I’m looking for tips on where to start, with everything!

I have a few friends that I’m showing properties to and have a family member that will be looking for a house in the new few weeks but that’s pretty much all that I have going on right now.

I've spent the last few weeks driving around writing down every phone number I could find on FSBO signs with no luck at all. I'd like to shift my focus to how to market, how to get at least my first few listings so that I can begin to get referrals.

Knowledge is power, and I’m looking for the resources!
