Where to get training

Question

Hello, I recently got my license and had a bad time at my last brokerage. I have been trying to get off the ground for 6 months now. I left my brokerage which did not offer any guidance except when it came to closing (of course). Spent money and time on marketing and prospecting but no results. I believe its because I am new and inexperienced. I am looking for training that will help me to get off the ground. Does anyone know of a brokerage that offers effective training (regardless of split) in NYC/Brooklyn or online? Or any other promising way to learn residential real estate? I am willing to work with anyone as long as I can learn as well.

@Lewis Daniel I respectfully disagree with Alexander as far as google being the best trainer for real estate agents. I asked the same question when I started in Real Estate just over 2 years ago. I didn't know a thing I was doing. I am now with my second brokerage and the difference is absolutely astounding. Feel free to call me eight four three - three hundred - two eight four two. I would love to share my experience and point you in the right direction. I wish you all the best!

@Lewis Daniel this may not be what you want to hear but google is possibly the best trainer available right now… and it's free! Youtube as well. In my experience, which is minimal, the real estate agent & broker can be (not in all cases) very egocentric. Again, not all but most and in this particular circumstance it seems like you experienced a bit of that. This business in a sense is very self-reliant, which is different than egocentric. By this, I mean that you need to rely on yourself for training, etc. Use BP as well!

For example you could search:

1. What are real estate agents good at?

2. How do real estate agents do …… ?

You will find SO many articles and who knows maybe open up your own brokerage because you learn so much! It comes to how bad you want. Hands on training I'm sure is available but most agents and brokers don't have time for it as time = money.

Google & BP is my advice! Good luck

@Alexander Zurn  You said it - real estate is self-reliant business. I appreciate the two examples and will implement them in my current search for agent info on google. I just became a PLUS member and search on BP. Thank you very much.
