I have been in the realestate industry for 6 months now and have not made a closing. I am considering a transfer to a local office, but I’m not sure how bad that will look professionally speaking.
You should be close to the area you want to ‘work’.
If your sphere of influence is near where you live, you need to consider moving closer to that area. The only way to make sure you get off to a good start in real estate is to service the people you know.
I’ve been in the business 3 1/2 years, and the referral base is really only now getting what I would call ‘good’.
If it’s not working in that location, you need to look inward and determine why. Is it because of location, or are you making sure you’re doing all the things you need to do to succeed. In my short time in the industry, I’ve watched a lot of people spin their wheels and eventually leave the business.
Hang in there. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Good luck!
