Note: If you aren't new, but you feel like you're stuck, these rules are for you too. Get unstuck by acting AS IF you just got your license and get to work. First, the Facts: *According to the National Association of Realtors, 87% of Realtors fail within their first 5 years. *On the other hand, the top 1% of real estate agents in the US make over $500,000 in annual income. The median income is $50,000. Keep in mind it only takes on average about 5 sales per year to make $50,000. Most of you can do that by working part-time. *20% of licensees make up 80% of closed real estate transactions. 20% of agents make more than $200,000 yearly.

As promised, here is the discount link for the EXPIRED LISTING LEADS: https://www.redx.com/affiliate/tim-and-julie-harris/?aff_code=670699 The only question you should be asking yourself is: which percentage will you be?  Follow these 15 rules which are not just for new agents, but for all agents and you'll be in the top 10% or better. If you choose to wing it and just see how it goes, you'll probably wind up in that first 87% who fail in 5 years or less.   "If it's meant to be, it's up to me!" should be your daily, maybe hourly affirmation, starting right now.   PART ONE 1.   Pick your broker wisely. It's not just about commission splits. Does your broker have stock awards, health insurance, daily education, and revenue share? It's costly to start with the wrong brokerage. Having to switch later costs not only time but money, so make the right decision the first time!   (EXP Paid over $240 million in revenue share and equity benefits last year. That's up 20% from the previous year).   2.   Commit to earning while you learn and be learning all the time. You don't have to be perfect to be productive. You must take action from day one in order to build your skills quickly, and you have to make 5x the effort you think to get the results you're looking for. Note: The best people to role-play with are actual prospects with actual homes to sell.   3.   Create your sphere of influence and expand it daily. These are all the people you already know. They already know, love, and trust you. As such, they are almost always your first 3 to 5 transactions.
