Hi everyone I am a new agent and very new to the Real Estate field.

I am asked by my company to write a Bio and a resume. I have a waitressing and customer service background.

How can I build a resume with no Real Estae experience?

Does anyone know of any sites to help with that and also any sites with scripts on calling FSBO's, Expired's and Cold Calling?

Also what is the best way to get my name out there?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!!!!

Sure you can. Waitressing and customer service are also relevant work experience, just in a different service industry. It doesnt really matter what you sell (houses or not), it's after all the customer service that you bring to the table to offer your clients. It's all about people no matter what business you are in. Realizing that early in the game can set you apart.

I've seen Mike Ferry's scripts. Do a search on Google and you'll find some samples.

Have your business cards ready and pass it to anyone you come in contact with. You can also send out an Intro email to people on your list about your new venture.... To get the word out there and sometimes it's not about whom you know, but whom they know - 2nd line of sphere....

Thanks so much you have been very helpful.

What I would recommend considering is leveraging the company to make it appear that you are experienced and well supported. In my exapmle I have been in the business for 12 years and have a team of 12 agents (including staff). Of course I didn't when I started. The best approach I found was to count the number of support staff at our branch and use their bio's in my listing presentations as part of my 'team'. I then quote the years of experience they have and so on. I also leverage my companies stats (since I didn't have any). i.e. Realty Executives sells X homes in this neighborhood in X years and so on. All of a sudden I look like the best agent on the block!

I never found it necessary at all to even mention that I was new to the business. If you act like a new agent, they'll know. Act like you own the market and have been in business for a long time! If they do ask just tell them that your relative inexperience is offset by the hundreds of professionals you work with and the advice of your broker. Tell them that the fact that you are new increases your hunger to provide the highest services and sell their home fast and for the most money. Etc. Etc.

Hope this helps!

Copy someone else's, changing the info to yours. As far a resume goes, I wouldnt write one until you have the sales to back it. Besides, clients dont care about bios and resumes. I have never had one client ask to see my bio or resume!!! If your looking for some help in the industry check out a www.realestatecareersecrets.com they have some great info that can help.
