Future Real Estate Agent

Hi everyone! I’m Ariam from Miami, I'm an aspirant for new real estate salesman (finishing pre licencing course). I’m just getting started and would love some advice on how to kick things off the right way. What are the best first steps for someone like me? I’m also looking for recommendations on choosing a broker as a rookie—any tips on what to look for or red flags to avoid? Lastly, I’d really appreciate ideas on building my network from scratch. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money. People go to a broker like EXP because of low splits, but you get what you pay for. You need to focus on a brokerage with solid training and support. It doesn't matter what the fees are if you aren't selling anything.

Most agents think they need to "build a network" and that will bring clients. A better option is to strengthen your existing network and ask them for referrals.
