Soon-To-Be New Agent

[Bethany Corey]

I am currently taking my real estate licensing class, and I am looking to become an agent. I already have a broker in mind, but I am sort of lost as to how the whole process of officially becoming an agent works. What are the specific steps of becoming licensed (step by step) right after I pass my test? What are the obligations of a new agent under a broker? It is fairly easy for just anyone to become an agent, which is a good thing for me because I am fairly new to this whole real estate thing, but I am worried that my inexperience will cause problems for both me and the broker under whom I will be training.

What should be my main priority after I become an agent?
