Starting knowledge or steps for new agents

[Lewis Payne]

I’ve been so concerned about my knowledge in he industry that I haven’t start working yet. How much do you actually need to know to successfully navigate through deals and best serve the customer? Where should I look for information to improve my services? Thank you to everyone who comments! You’re greatly appreciated

Have you passed your exam? Found a brokerage? Gotten your license? Where are you in your process?

Here in CO we have to spend at least 2 years affiliated with an employing broker. That broker should then offer training, support, knowledge, and the ever-present reviewing eye (they are often potentially liable if you make a contractual mistake so it's in their best interest to review your contracts for you). 

Does your brokerage offer a mentorship program? If so, absorb as much as you can from your mentor. 

Take as many continuing education classes as you can, in person if possible. I personally prefer online for straight-up education, but find that the things other brokers say in the in-person classes are great fodder for what to do and as often as not, what *not* to do.

Eventually though, you'll have to take the plunge. :0)
