It is also important to think about what kind of real estate company to go with even before you're licensed. It's best to find a comfortable mix of a company that will cover some of your expenses for a portion of your commissions, but doesn't limit you on your marketing abilities. Some companies will provide you with tons of support and your own real estate leads. Others won't. It's up to you to find a good mix that helps you out but doesn't constrict you too much. When you go into real estate, you're starting your own business. Always think of it that way.

Remember that list of real estate leads you compiled of everyone you know? While taking your real estate classes, it's time to let those real estate leads know what you're up to. Start giving them a head's up that soon you'll be a licensed real estate agent and though you can't sell real estate at this MOMENT, you will be able to do by whatever date you get your license. It's never to early to start building that sphere of influence and filling it with real estate leads.

One of the best things you can do, if it is a possibility, is talk to a successful real estate agent. The only way to truly learn to be a great agent is to learn from the best! Build a rapport with a real estate agent and than offer to do their dirty work. That's right – even if just for a day or two, ask them if you can help follow up with their real estate leads, just to get an idea of what the business is all about. Not many people would turn down free labor, and it gives you an idea of exactly what you SHOULD be doing to be successful with your real estate leads once you're licensed.
