Focus on listings vs buyers.  Most markets are super hot right now ....that means even the overpriced listings sell, the ugly ones sell, the difficult ones sell.  Now is the time to take every listing you can.

Most new agents seem to focus on buyers.  Now is not the time to do that.  You think you can make offer after offer after offer with a buyer and not get anything.  Just had an agent tell me he made 17 offers on his next personal home and did not get one yet.   

So just something to think about.

Join a company that will give you unlimited training, is growing, is debt free, and practices what they preach.  Ask to see their training room, ask to see their training calendar, ask how much the training costs.   RE school teaches the basics, but you want plenty of other training to teach you how to prospect and how to win the business.
