Before You Begin…

I’d like to introduce myself. I’m a licensed Real Estate Agent in Virginia who has the desire to help others succeed in their “soon-to-be” real estate careers. What I am not – is an expert. Do I feel that I need to be an expert to offer this advice and tips? No. Please read on…

• I’ve been in the real estate industry, both commercial and now residential, for 20+ years.
• I studied my tail off to pass the real estate exam, so I completely understand the adventure you are about to embark on.
• I have this amazing desire to help others succeed and stay motivated (part of what I do in my career).
• I like people.
• I like real estate.
• Did I mention I like helping people?

So why am I starting this blog? While studying for the exam, I joined a Facebook group that was all about prepping for the exam. It’s a great group and a wonderful supplemental study program, but there were so many non-test-related questions all the time. I tried to help by answering as many questions as I could, but the questions end up getting lost in the feed and then getting asked again and again. This brought me here … the creation of the Rookie RE Agent blog. I hope you find the advice and tips I offer to be useful and helpful! Expect to see posts about getting your license, finding a brokerage firm, getting through your first year, and more. Happy reading!
