What's up BP!

I am a Real Estate Sales Agent practicing primarily in the Greater San Diego Community. I come from a mother who practices as a CA Realtor as well as a father who is a General Contractor. I am relatively "green" to the industry but am fortunately to have a strong support system in the wings.

I'm looking to build my own reputation and i'm happy to have found an ideal forum to share my encounters as I am sure I am in for an adventure.

So quick, any words of advice for a young professional getting started?
