There are many very successful real estate professionals who are former educators. Here is a roadmap to help you make that transition.
If there is a perfect plan, it looks something like this …
- · Mindset: We say that clarity is power and you get what you deserve in your imagination. With that in mind …
o What does it mean to you to have a successful real estate business?
o What will this do for you & your family?
o What is your vision of your success?
o What is your “big why?” Why real estate? Why Realtor? Why entrepreneur? Why financial success?
- · Winter / spring – get your real estate license, build up financial reserves
· Start working on your contact database (who do you know?) and start talking about your plan, start talking about real estate, start studying the market; find your first few soon-to-be-clients who intend to buy, sell or invest in real estate this summer. Interview brokers. Seek shadow or mentor opportunities.
- · Spring – choose and join your broker.
-
· June - August: Train, ramp-up client engagement, train, furiously build market knowlege
- · School year
o If financial reserves are solid (recommend 6 months reserves), then fulltime in real estate
o If financial reserves are not yet in place, teach that year, building your reserves and working real estate part-time with the intention of this being your last year teaching
o Rinse & repeat until you have a solid reserve, work ethic, network and drive
