Effective way to generate leads?  Word of mouth, marketing yourself every day on all platforms, have a good CRM to maintain everything, open houses, knock on local neighbor doors and facebook.  The key is to be consistent in your actions. You might not get business on the first day but make sure you are being productive towards your goals.  Find a good system that you want to follow and  execute it.  

People are going to tell you ads here and there but the key is to have a good CRM that has a good front and back end that can capture all the information you will be collecting.  If funds are tight for you, go door knocking as your way to generate leads.  Find open houses to hosts for other agents and door knock 100-200 doors around the home and get to know the neighbors and invite them over so you can get to know them.  Youtube has plenty of good resources for you to follow but find one that you can execute and go for it! 

What is the the distance between the homes that you based your PPSF off of and do you have the addresses for the comp homes?

Hello @Barrett Andersondepends on what is important to you and your individual goals.  If you are brand new to the business then training on to be the exact Real Estate Agent you want to be is the greatest lesson.  What is the point of having leads if you can't convert them?  I learned that training is important so when you go out in the world, you know what you are talking about.  

Once you get experienced, then total take home would be important to you at that point and you would rather pay your broker per transaction rather than split you commission with them.  This all comes down to your level of comfort in your individual situation.  

Identify your target, create your goal and find the best broker who will show you how to get there.  Review your individual goals each year and make your broker decision yearly based on your upcoming year goals.  I personally went with KW because the training, team building environment and the team leader of the office.  

Choose carefully, your goals have to be inline with your broker's capability. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Good luck.

@Precious Thompson Hey Precious.  Hope all is well!  My experience has been great so far with Keller Williams Realty! We definitely made the decision with the broker and office.   My wife and I signed up for Than Merrill's investing course next month in Washington, D.C. $197 for three days!  Can't beat that and that was just from attending one of their free seminars.  This is good because we will begin investing in the upcoming months.  Getting our real estate license is a blessing because you learn so much, you are able to network in the business as well as you can use your commission in your transactions.  I agree with the broker that you met with that your learning will be limited BUT you can sign up on broker's team as an assistant or something in that nature to learn the business.  Plus, if you get with a good broker and express your intentions with them, they might bring you on their team and cover the expenses of you getting your license if you are willing to sign a contract with them.  Life is like real estate, everything is NEGOTIABLE if you are willing to go after what you want.  

If you want to get into a circle then you need to surround yourself with the people who you want to be surrounded with.  What is holding you back from taking the course and getting licensed?  Take the course, pass the test and you have 12 months to hang your license with a broker or you will have to start the process over.  You have to be willing to invest in yourself before anyone else will!  

PM me if you have any questions that I can help you.
