Advice for 19 year old agent.

[Roxy H.]

Hello everyone I'm 19 years old and excited about a career as a Real Estate agent. I'll be taking classes this summer but I want to take the time I have now to gain every bit of information I can about this business. I know because of my age I'm going to have to work a lot harder if I want people to take me seriously.

Do you guys have any advice on what I should be studying now and how I can become an expert about my community. Thanks in advance.

I started at 18 got my license in CA within a month of my 18th BD.

My fathers attorney < ( my dad was a RE broker and developer) gave me some very good advice so I will pass it on..

LEARN the COURTHOUSE IE learn the back end of RE. learn how everything there is to know about how RE really happens.. Most agent really don't know a darn about how things work they just rely on their closing attorneys or Escrow agents.

Learn how to pull subdivision maps.. learn how to do your own title search.

learn how probate works. Learn how tax sale and foreclosures work.

ETC ETC.. that's were the money is made
