Hi This Post Is For New Real Estate Agents who are just starting out their career in the real estate world.  First I want to ask you... What were you thinking?  What Was It That Attracted You To Real Estate?  More Often than not it is usually an outside force that Pushed you into real estate some way or another. 

For me it was my parents who told me I would make a great real estate agent... thanks Mom and Dad!  Your support has really meant a lot to me!  Speaking of support I thinking it is very important that you always look for support groups and flock where the education is as well as the top producers who insist you focus on educating yourself.

Their is always so much stuff to learn and I've been in this business for 4 years now and still always learning something new... so I think veterans who have been around for 25 years will say the same thing....you are ALWAYS learning!

I hope to help you get started in Networking.

If your interested please sign up for an Active Rain Account as this will be one of the best networks you will ever join!

Their is always so much knowledge and information here...but be careful ...very careful who you listen to because not everyone , knows what they are talking about!  So I will just say ...be sure to verify information and always remember that state laws differ from state to state so you will always need to be mindful of laws and regulations in your area.

Since brokers are usually to busy to help in many offices across the nation...maybe your broker wants to help you but he is either busy or have other agenda on his/her mind.... the best advice is to NETWORK HERE and get diving into all the fun and search for blogs that you want to know more information about! 

I have been on this network for a while now and can tell you ... EVERYDAY has Been something New on here!  It is Wild!

You will love it!  So if your New or maybe even a Seasoned Realtor ... YOU GOTTA BE HERE!  No Doubt about it!

I'm going into my forth year now.  This site has been incredible.  I've learned so much that I actually know more than my broker about a lot of things.  Especially everything recent.  It usually hits AR before it trickles down through my company.  Great site.  You're right brokers are so busy.  I alwasys enjoy helping newer agents in my office get started.

Hi David Monsour,

Yes your right about that one man!  Yes the Network is always pumping out the real news we need to hear much faster than the sales meetings .... "I almost don't even need to attend...but I do to tour listings and hear agent feedback on things".

Pretty Cool we both have been in business the same amount of time...your the first one I met with the same amount of experience as me!  Nice!

Yup!  You Betcha ... 9 times out of 10 they are busy!

That's always a good thing!  Helping Others!  I Highly Commend that!  We need more agents like you! 

If we all were focused on helping 1 agent , our industry would be booming to higher levels of service and production plus making more friends in the process.  I always lend a helping hand myself!  Good way to go overall!

Thanks for your comment as well!
