Welcome to the site man!

I know all too well what it's like to live in a small New England town. I checked out your profile and I see we have some similar goals. PM me if you'd like to talk about your goals or anything else involving real estate. Good luck dude!

One of my best friends mother owns a local real estate agency here. I'm guaranteed a job there after high school if that's what I want, but the real estate market here is.. boring to say the least. It's a small town of about 2,500 people, not much happens. Real estate sells, but it's just not the sort of fast paced do or die market i'm interested in. Would it be best to work at the local agency for say a year, saving all the money I earn, and then look into moving out to Colorado? I already know I need at least a 3 month cushion before I move out there, is this a good way to accomplish that?

Most interested in becoming a listing agent at this point. My long term goals include rehabbing, buying investment properties, and eventually development. I'm interested in a lot of business opportunities outside of real estate too, I see real estate as a great way to gain capital and make connections with people that will help me to grow and learn.

Investment comes later in the game for me, what I want to do now is become an agent. Do you think there's any possibility of an agency like Coldwell Banker Mason Morse picking me up as a listing agent?

In a few short months I'll have reached the summit of my 12 year long endeavor to graduate high school and receive my diploma. For many people it's hard to know exactly what they want to do with their life, but luckily I have always known my journey would bring me somewhere down the path of real estate. Architecture and design have been two of my greatest passions for as long as I can remember, and I can't picture myself presently doing anything outside of real estate.

I see great opportunities in real estate for young people with the ambition and inner drive to succeed. I actively research real estate across the country, tracking market trends and building myself a sort of roadmap to the future. I will not be attending college after school. I see college as more of a burden to my personal goals, at least at this point in my life. I see the value in a college education, and eventually do plan on getting one, but the financial burden and time spent on a degree seem like a waste to me right now.

My problem lies in that I'm not quite sure how to make the first move. My goal is to move to Colorado in a year’s time and acquire a job in real estate somewhere around the Roaring Fork Valley. Is this reasonable? Will I be taken seriously without a degree and where I'm so young to begin with? Age is just a number, but with age comes experience. I really want to get my foot in the door sooner than later so I can start building my knowledge of the area and establishing connections with other people. Is it likely I could find a mentor out in Colorado to take me on as their project child?

After having known what it is I want to do with my life for so long, I’m now finding myself a little lost as to how to set my plan in action. Frankly, I’m a little scared. Any advice?
