First Transaction Representing a Buyer

Hi everyone! I'm a newly licensed real estate agent and about to handle my very first transaction. I'm both excited and a little nervous since I do not have a mentor. For those of you who’ve been through this before, what are some key things I should be aware of during my first deal? Any common mistakes to avoid or best practices that helped you make it a smooth process?

Also, how did you build confidence with your client when you didn’t have experience to lean on?

Any tips or insights would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Many states have passed laws now that say you need close supervision on your first 4 transactions.  I would consult with your broker as to who will assist you writing contracts and supervise your early work.
It is vital when you are assisting people transacting one of the largest financial transactions and often their largest emotional situations of their lives.

Everyone starts somewhere, but no need to do it alone.
