Hello Everyone!

I am currently in the process of completing my pre-licensing course. I have been doing lots of research and was wondering if anyone has any opinions of joining Keller Williams as a new agent? It seems as though they are really committed to extensive training which is something I feel strongly about. Also, any advice on starting comm. splits, desk fees, etc.??

Thank you Bill and Johnny for your advice! Appreciate all of it! The online class is OK. I think I am more of a classroom type of person though. It takes a certain kind of person to do online classes or training. Personally, if I had to do it over, I would have chosen the classroom.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate your advice on the forums.

To answer your question, I am doing an online course for my license. I am about a week into the course. Is there a certain reason you ask?

Hello Everyone,

So great to find a site like this!! Really excited to see all of the resources.

I am currently attending a real estate pre-licensing sales course with the goal of becoming a very successful sales agent, even in these bad market times. Not only is my goal to become a sales agent, but another important goal of become an extremely successful investor. With my sheer determination and perseverance, I have no doubt that I will succeed in both ventures.

I have been fascinated with real estate since I was a teenager so all areas of the industry interest me, especially residential. I am looking to learn as much as possible about real estate investment procedures and all of the tricks of the trade. As of now, I believe I have a perfect opportunity to get my feet wet with a short sale. My sisters condo is in pre-foreclosure in Tampa, Florida. She purchased it when the market was great for approx. $170,000.00 financed through Wells Fargo. As of recently, condos in the same complex are selling for approx. $67,000.00. A drastic change! Most owners are going through this same ordeal. I have been trying to research short-sale procedures online, but I am looking for as much advice as I can get. I would like to make a small profit on this opportunity.

I appreciate any advice anyone can give me on the short-sale, and any advice on becoming a successful real-estate sales agent. I look forward to the chance to networking with all of the great people on this site!

Thomas
