@Rawtid congrats

Whats the best way realtors find business? Obviously networking but it seems like a hell of a leap to just start from scratch

Thank you. I'm not too sure, it's all new to me. My broker plans on working close with me in the beginning. She said she wants me to start by shadowing some of her deals and I actually have some people who I plan to network to. Me going through the home buying process is helping as well. I also know a woman that used to be an agent, so I will talk to her. That's why I was told to have other incomes. I think the bigger companies give you computer generated leads, but again I'm not sure.

Bank wouldn't fix the roof, the search continues. I have to be out of here by end of April so I'm going to make sure I have a list of apartments on deck just in case. Luckily I've seen plenty of availability in my time frame.

My agent is going to schedule appointments with two other homes that I like. Highly discouraged but a learning process nonetheless.

During the inspection, dude found that some parts of the roof have 3 layers of shingle on them. This is against code so I wouldn't be able to secure homeowners insurance which means I can't secure the loan. :dry: Good news is no one trying to buy a property with a loan would be able to secure it with the roof issue so either they can fix it for me or try to find a cash only buyer. The other issues were pretty minor so hopefully they fix this.

I'm officially a real estate agent though. I signed up with my broker yesterday and now just need cards and all that stuff. I'm going to develop a marketing plan and start targeting some people. i also want to get up with this woman, who is a friend of the family and retired agent and pick her brain.
:salute: To your new journey as a real estate agent

How do you guys feel about calling employers to show that you're interested? From the couple of times I did, they just gave me a vague answer
Doesn't hurt one bit. Best bet is definitely to stalk the fukk outta somebody though so they will be willing to put in a word for you.

My last 3 jobs have shown me that having someone say "This is my friend, and they are a good worker" will get even a mediocre resume looked at.

Dipping the toe to show them interest can't hurt, but definitely get to know somebody there.

The thing is I don't know anybody. And I'm now realizing it's great to know someone that knows someone.

I'm just confused as to what am I to do because my resume is great, and I have hell of potential.

I really don't know what is what tbh

What kind of place you applying to, fam? Depending on the industry, and whether its a small business or a "known" place, you can go about it a few ways.
