Getting Business Once you’ve gotten your license, you
still have a lot of work to do. Some
people think real estate agents don’t do anything, but it’s not true! Customers are not normally handed to
you. You have to jump into
action! Don’t wait until you know everything,
because that day never comes. Some companies
may offer a mentorship program to help you get started. This can be extremely helpful, but look at
the terms of the program very carefully.
You will probably have to share your commissions, and in some cases,
more than half. You may be better off
doing something informally. Learn
whom you can trust in the office as soon as you start working. If you don’t feel confident on your first
listing appointment or buyer meeting, you can take an experienced agent with
you. You should still expect to split
the commission, but you will not be locked into any program, and half of
something is better than all of nothing. Most companies
will offer some kind of training program, either in a class or with
hands-on training, or a combination of both.
Just like the school, there will be a lot of information to learn,
but if you haven’t gotten a lesson you need in order to start working,
ask your manager for assistance. If
you don’t utilize lessons as you learn them, you will forget them before
you learn the next lesson. |
