How do I get a license to sell real estate internationally?

How do real estate agents get leads?

  • I am looking into getting my real estate license in CA. I had so many questions, but thanks to yahoo answers, i was able to find most of them here. But i still have one question that i cant find the answer to... How does the agent find houses to sell? Do they get the leads from the company they work for? Do they post in the paper that they are an agent and looking to sell someones home? How does that whole situation go down? Thanks

  • Answer:

    Most of us will start as a buyers agent, your first year you will represent many buyers. When your name gets out, assuming that you are good at your job, those buyers will have friends that may be looking to sell. Occasionally, you may get a duty call (where you basically at as a secretary for a few hours) from someone wanting to sell. Also, you have a sphere of influence, people you already know, people that they know, folks you run into while doing things that you do on a regular basis. Don't be afraid to talk to them and let them know you are an agent and are always looking for someone who may be in need of your services. When you get your cards, drop them everywhere...you never know who may call you. Once you get your license part of your process will be you need to find an agency, talk to the broker and see what kind of advertisement the firm does. Some do more than others. I would be happy to talk to you off line about my agency and why I think it's the best.

They advertise and network with friends,relatives and strangers. In other words they are usually on their own.

Very few realtors earn 6 figures, and very few rely primarily on internet leads. There is very little chance that you would be able to generate that income strictly off internet leads. Real estate sales is an annuity business, based upon repeat business and referrals from satisfied clients. That is why usually new agents need time to start making a decent income, but if they stay focused and in the business, they can make a good income
