New agents, how long did you take to close your first deal and earn commission check?

6 months! It could have been much faster though! 

My advice: Talk to as many people as possible, sit 5 open houses or more per week including weekends, team up with an investor that you can add value to, cold call all FSBOs in your area, be competitive on your commission rates, & get on a big team with a 50/50 split that will train you! 

@Dylan Phillips thank you
