So many responses and so hard to respond to all on my phone.

For me it helps to start with your own little network.At various stages of the course a few representatives from local RE companies came in an introduced themselves and a little pitch to have the students consider working for that particular company.I passed the test on my first attempt , I then set up appointments to speak with whom I was interested in working for to get an idea of the cost ( desk fees, admin fees, E&O insurance, commission splits, ) and any other fee that may be associated with being a Realtor.

You will want her phone # as well.

I called the CC company and asked them if they could resend them, they said over the phone that they didn't have that ability.

I would not be that surprised it they had someone that does annual checks to make sure the property is owner occupied (knock on the door, check phone listings,etc)

I checked the tax accessors website and i have found the name of the owner but no address or phone number.

Personally, I think the forms are great to use for handling phone calls.

What works varies a good deal by area.I'd start with something cheap to get the phone ringing- bandit signs or an ad in the Thrifty Nickel/Penny Saver type publication, although ads dont pull anywhere near what they used to.

Have any of you provided tablets for your board to save on paper, printing and admin costs?

You'll definitely get some phone calls over that!
