@David Hunter I didn't think I would like marketing part, but I realized pretty fast that having a name and face association was pretty important for building the trust value with potential clients. I always felt awkward discussing RE with people without sounding pushy, but I'm finding ways to market myself organically by treating everyone as a friend and casually inserting REALTOR in the conversation. Fingers cross they will think of me!
@Jeff Valentino I thought cold calling was the thing and find it nice to hear that that is not the only way to conduct business. Prior to getting my RE license, I wanted to know what other agents were doing and found links to YT that there were a lot of calling FSBO's and Expireds to get listings. Kinda disheartening but found my broker didn't like doing that as well and she manage to find success in other avenues. She's Diamond Certified and has two brokerage offices, so yeah!
@Ugwu Uche Your making me NERVOUS! lol Congrats to you! So far I'm learning its an exciting business, I can't believe the amount of information I've gathered thus far. Alright...game on lol if anything, knowledge and success learned along the way is beneficial. I would say good luck, but I doubt you'll need it!

I'm so glad I came across this post. I was actually furnishing a letter to send out, but stopped to see how successful this was. Good post! Sounds like I need to make actual human contact. lol

Hey BP! I recently joined a brokerage that is smaller than the big names and I'm pretty happy that I did. I'm able to have access to my broker and the support is awesome! So far, I've learned to gather as much information of SOI and make goals for myself on a weekly basis. I'm putting myself into the community, I'm volunteering and joining groups. I've been immersing myself with as much webinars and classes to learn the business. I've read a couple RE books, Gary Keller "Shift" and Michael Maher "The Seven Levels of Communication." Anyway, what other suggestions do you have to help a newbie? What was the first few months for you? I feel like at times I could be doing more.
