Answer 1

Most real estate companies will do the training to help you be successful agent. Contact one of the big ones and see if they are interested in you, they will help you with training and license..

Answer 2

I always followed two rules.. . 1. Remember who I am working for. Generally this means you are acting as an agent for the seller.. . 2. Always tell the whole truth.. . These two may lead to conflict but don't violate #2 just because you can see the $$$ floating ahead. Your broker/manager may also hate that 2nd rule and try to coerce you to just say nothing at times.. . BTW, I'm implicitly assuming you will NEVER engage in steering in any form.

Answer 3

Read Dale Carnegie books. If you exude confidence buyers will be more content to purchase properties from you. Good luck

Answer 4

In order to be a successful real estate agent you must be able to market yourself continuously. . . You must be an expert in your area that you plan to work and develop a way to get referrals. . . I would start developing me a team first of all as well as develop me an area to work. Find an area that has at least 5000 homes so you can establish yourself, Make yourself enough flyers that introduce yourself as the new real estate agent for the area. You should do this for about 3 months to establish yourself. . . After that period you should send these same people a monthly newsletter containing information about real estate in their area. Tell them why they should contact you to sell their home and also why it is a good idea for them to use you to purchase their next home. Your team members should be able to contribute news items to your newsletter. You newsletter can be as short as one page or as large as you want it. . . You should be able to get the names of the owners of your area from your title rep.. . While doing this you should also be visiting the surrounding businessess to see if they will allow you to put your flyers in their shops. You can by the flyer holders at Staples or Office Depot or other stationary stores. They should be letter size so when you start your newsletter it will hold your newsletter.. . When doing your news letter you might ask the businessess that allow you to put your flyer in their shops or stores if they would like to advertise in your newsletter.. . Now about putting you a team together that will assist you in being successful. You will need a notary, title rep, escrow officer, appraiser, insurance agent, a loan officer or broker, CPA or tax preparer, attorney and whom ever else you think you want to place on your team. These team members should be willing to take your business cards and pass them out to people they meet that need your services and you should pass their cards out to people that need their services that you meet.. . Your team members should be willing to help you hold first time home buyers seminars and do other things to help you and them be successful. . . Doing all this will not be an easy chore,but if you do you will reap the rewards down the line. When you are not doing anything in the office you should be in your neighborhood talking with your shop owners or with the people living in your area delivering welcome packages.. . Make a welcome package for those that purchase homes and move into your area. Check with Home Depot, Lowes, and other companies willing to give you coupons, include a change of address form from the post office along with your business card.. . Checking on the homes that went into foreclosure to find out how you can be of service.. . I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.. . "FIGHT ON"

Answer 5

You need to become licensed in your state. In my state this is a week long class.. . Then you'll probably want to work in an established office. Shop around since different franchises offer different deals. You may get smaller/larger commissions. You may need to pay for part or all of your advertising. . . Expect to work long hours, especially weekends and evenings. . . You must be a very patient person. Don't be suprised if some buyers look at houses for weeks and weeks. . . You must love people. Be an outgoing people person. Network with others.
