I have an Arizona Realtor License, what now?

Now that you have a realtor license, it is time to go to work. Now assuming you don't have much cash to jump start your real estate career, start with the time consuming, cheap stuff, like:

• Getting lots of business cards and handing them out to your friends, family, and co-workers.
• Get a sign and put it in the yard at your house with your pertinent information.
• Do some mail outs to the local community just giving them an introduction to your capabilities and services.
• Use the MLS to find repossessed homes, and leave business cards at any or all of these homes.
• Hang a bulletin at local universities, hospitals, business, etc. Wherever a owner will allow you to hand out a bulletin or leave a business card.
• If you want to spend a little cash, run some ads in the thrifty nickel or your local newspaper.
• Start a website with an introduction of who you are, and how you can help.

Be smart, concentrate your time getting the most exposure you can. Find a real estate broker that has lots of experience, and who will cut you a better deal than a 50/50 split. Do a little negotiation. Tell them you will work extra hard and will try to bring in business for them. If the broker is unreasonable, go down the street a couple of blocks and sure to find another real estate office. Then, start pounding the pavement!
