    Just keep in mind that many of the most successful people I know in this business are agents, not brokers. People often make the mistake of assuming that as a broker you will have a 100% split but this is not true. As a broker you will have to pay rent for your office, office supplies, utilities, insurance, employees, and many other expenses. Take a careful look at it before you decide to take that route. Not to mention that you take on all of the liability.

    If you are just starting out as a real estate agent, the best thing you can do is join the local real estate agents’ association. Most large cities have either official or unofficial clubs or associations that meet regularly to exchange information. It should not be too difficult to find such a group and join it.

    On securing membership, be conscientious about attending every gathering, even if it is only a dinner meeting. Information flows most freely when people meet in an informal setting, and you can pick up many useful hints from speeches by noted professionals. Be on perpetual yellow alert for new input from such sources.
