You Passed the Test, Now What???

Of course everyone that is trying to get started in the Real Estate field, I would think, would like to present themselves as competent and professional.  I have found that sometimes it is merely “window dressing” or “a show”.  When you get right down to it some people just don’t have a clue what they are doing.  They have taken the required amount of class room hours, passed that class test and then managed to pass the state exam.  Then what?  Do they automatically know how to sell a house?  Work with buyers?  Find qualified service providers, i.e. Mortgage Brokers, Home Inspectors, Attorney’s or Title Companies, etc.. 

While it may seem as simple as googling what you are looking for it is really not that easy.  I have had dealings with some providers because my clients really thought that they were getting a deal and those transactions have rarely, if ever closed on time.  My clients get stressed and aggravated with the process and really wonder if this is what it’s like to buy a home then they will not do it again.

Newly licensed persons need to keep learning, building relationships, keeping themselves informed on the ever-changing real estate industry.  Real Estate is always evolving and if you don’t evolve with it you will be left in the proverbial dust.
