When I decided to get into real estate I had to take the real estate principles class. It is a 90hr class that was held monday and wednesday nights for three hours a night. I took the class since the market has been bad so a class that would normally be thirty students was only eleven. As you can imagine our class formed a pretty strong bond between the students. After the conclusion of class we all stayed in touch and try to give each other support with our new careers. A few of us started meeting every monday morning to network with each other and help work through potential problems. It was a great idea. Because some of our classmates work other jobs and are starting real estate part time it is difficult for everyone to meet on monday mornings. Tonight we had our first evening meeting/bbq, and I had a blast. I encourage everyone to make the most out of networking and making contacts within the business. I think too many agents dont want to network with other agents because they know they wont sell them any property, but this goes beyond making a sale. We have built a real estate family. We dont all work for the same brokerages and we dont all have the same goals but it works. Just wanted to share this. Thanks
