@Dakota Mivshek go interview with agencies and let them know you want to start on a top producer team.. you will also see advertisements from top producers looking for listing agents and showing agents.. its a great incubator.its how many agents make the million a year they are a company within a company... plus the team volume goes to the top producer so when you see a top producer say he or she has done 100 million for the year.. that's the effort of the entire team.. they might have brought in 3 mil gross but distributed that to 5 to 7 agents working under them at usually a 50/50 split or so.. so the top producer makes their million a year.. and the other agents who are apprenticing get 40 to 100k a year pretty cool deal and now you have a top producer as your mentor... and he/she is totally interested in how well you do... it goes to their bottom line.. its the new way.. and one that Keller kind of pioneered but all good size brokerages will have teams in them.My wife who is solo did 14 million last year... on her own. its a great business once you put the time in she gets all business by referral.. did not spend one dime on marketing.. ask me how many wholesalers can make 400k plus a year and spend not one dime on marketing...

A mentor is your best bet; or just focus on finding someone who needs your help (as in a potential seller in distress).
