New agent
Where to start if you're new.
A brokerage-neutral order of operations for your first months. It applies at any brokerage — always confirm licensing, compliance, and paperwork details with yours.
Step 1
Set up the business side first
Bank accounts, expense tracking, a calendar you trust, and the paperwork your brokerage and state require. Confirm the specifics with your brokerage — requirements vary.
Step 2
Organize your files and workflows
Decide where documents, contacts, and notes live before your first client, so nothing has to be reorganized mid-transaction.
Step 3
Pick a contact system you'll actually use
A simple, consistent database beats an advanced CRM you abandon. Compare the common options before you commit.
Step 4
Build a transaction process that doesn't rely on memory
A written checklist for each stage of a deal is the difference between calm closings and last-minute scrambles.
Step 5
Protect your time with a weekly rhythm
Prospecting, follow-up, and admin each need a repeating block. Productivity in real estate is scheduling, not willpower.
