Real Estate is feast or famine!
When there is an escrow to close and a paycheck coming in, HAPPY DAY! Make that money stretch out!
There may be weeks or months of no paychecks but lots of work (showings, appointments, cmas, etc). FAMINE!
It helps if you have a safety net, like income from a partner or family to help support you during the famines.
Preview property in areas you want to get familiar with.
Have your top 15-20 list of friends, families, neighbors with their address and phone number. Get their email addresses and birthdays and anniversaries.
Learn MLSlistings.com
Spend a weekend on C.A.R website
Do CMAs for your family and friends. Do net sheets, too.
Do Open Houses or Twi-light open houses.
Go to Marketing Meetings and get a flavor of the different agents out there.
Take classes but know the real lesson will be when you are actually writing a purchase agreement, reading a termite report, put together a disclosure package, opening up a house for a showing, or getting info from an agent, ETC.
Marketing on a shoe string budget - doorknock or call your database. Collect emails and send items of value (reports, cma, etc)
Marketing with some money - do a small mailout, hold an event like a mixer or luncheon, start a meet up group for your area. We started having quarterly mixers for Evergreen Business Owners.
