# Starting a real estate career is very exciting, and also very scary!
If you are veteran licensee, can you remember how you felt going from a steady paycheck to a commission environment? So, what’s the first step? You should be prospecting for a listing. One of the best ways to meet buyers is to market your own listing. You can also host an open house with one of the listings in your company. Get permission from the broker and the listing associate. Remember, the sooner you make a sale the sooner you’ll get paid! Don’t forget your sphere of influence. These are your friends, relatives, acquaintances, and anyone else that you can think of that will help you in your real estate business. Always end your conversations with people by asking their help with our business. “Who do you know that might be interested in buying or selling real estate?”
Wear an identification badge all the time. Car magnets on your car. Use your picture on everything that you hold out to the public. Come on, you have to let everyone know that you are in real estate! Refer to my other videos regarding the elevator speech that you need about the market and your own resume. Once you have made a sale or have gotten a listing, build on that success in order to grow! Together with your other marketing, soon you’ll be on your way to success!
If you would like more information contact me. I’m Ric Giumenta. You can have a good day or a bad day. It’s your choice.
Make good choices. See you next time!
