So yesterday I -paid all my fees and on Monday I should have my license!!!! Then its watch out world here I come! LOL...So I am trying to figure out what I want to do as far as niche's and what nots... I was thinking of the GLBT community and first time home buyers. I think I would like to get into commercial as well but then again who wouldn't? SO another thing that I was looking at was where do we advertise? I was looking at craigs list, myspace, and face book as just examples. I think the old saying "you have to spend money to make money" is a load of crap in some cases. These are the little things that I think about when I am looking at where to go next. I know my mother is really good at telling people that I going to be an agent on Monday, so Im not to worried at about word of mouth. What are other things that other agents do besides word of mouth and bloging? BTW what do you think of my Batman picture below? I was playing with my photo shop software tonight.....

Hi Tim,

I couldn't see your batman pic - but I think focusing on the GLBT community is an excellent way to narrow your business target.  One thing I have learned through the years is that a focus into a "minority group" is the best way to MAXIMIZE your referrals.  Good luck!

Tim,

Ditto on the welcome to AR!

No Batman photo either. I'd begin by talking with your broker and try to find a mentor. Become a sponge and absorb every thing you can from as many as possible. You will lean what to do and what not to do at times. And tell everyone you in the biz, not just those your Mom talks with.

Good luck!

Take care!

Tim,

I agree with the many comments about telling the world you are in real estate. Your mom is an outstanding word of mouth source. Now, imagine if you had 5, 10, 30 or even 100 of those spirits telling the world. Hmmmm, food for thought.

You are on the right track!

PS No pic for me either.
