passed state real estate exam and can't to find sponsor ?

Question

In January I passed My NJ Real estate Exam, but I am having a hard time finding brokers who are willing to speak with me. I don't have any prior selling experience, and I'm sure that is hurting my chances. How do I get my foot in the door somewhere or at least get a response?

@Sherif Zayed if you are looking to go full time and interested in an investment focused team try @Jonathan Greene. He runs a successful team in NJ and provides amazing support/training.

I am definitely surprised to hear that. Most brokerages will hire any warm body with a license, regardless of experience.

I am so grateful to BiggerPockets and the overwhelming support which I have received in just couple of hours from colleagues from around the country , Thank you all for all your advises and recommendations. It seems that it is my lucky day that I have received an actual call as well from a local and I shall meet with him next week , but will definitely stay in touch with each and every one of you friends. Thanks again and you all have a blessed day.

Hey @Sherif Zayed. I'm surprised by that. Usually, brokerages are always looking for more agents, that is how they make their money. If they are smaller and don't have the resources to train a new agent, that might be the case.

I would reach out to larger brokerages. I'm with Keller Williams and love it. They have a great training program and systems.

@Sherif Zayed I’ve been a little worried about this myself. I’m nearly done with my RE course. I won’t be working as an Agent and I’m really only getting licensed just to be a better informed and knowledgeable investor. I know it’s not needed, but schooling and licensing is cheap so why not. My worry is, since I have no plans on working for the broker, they won’t be interested in letting me hang my license with them.

Best of luck in finding a broker!

@Sherif Zayed have you checked out EXP Realty? You can become an individual agent or start a team with them. They then partner you with a mentor. It is just a suggestion if no one is responding to you.

@Sherif Zayed ditto @bradhammond. I too am with Keller Williams. Agree with everything Brad said.
