I'm a new agent just got my license last month yeah!!! :yay:

I still work a 9-5 job and will only be able to start real estate part-time. I need some good guidance. I took my real estate class at a Re Max broker office for the benefit of getting the class free (which nothing is really FREE) and the brand name of Re Max.

The office has a part time offer with the wife of the Full Time broker. They just sent me an agreement to sign but not sure I would like to stay because I don't think I will get any guidance. This is the first that I have heard from them since I dropped my license off. Contacted the office manager they let her go due to financial issues. Haven't received word about anyone else to reach out to. Don't know what to do. :confused:

The agreement is 70/30 split, $35 E/O per transaction, $400 yearly for use of office (didn't break down cost of copies, faxes, ect), and $15000 cap, with term of one year.

I spoke with another Re Max office that have part time offers starting at $50 month (office use) , $15 listing input( or could do yourself), $375 per transaction, $30 E/O, with no term. They have plans higher that include more this is the lowest.

Not sure what to do don't want to make a big mistake and not get any training or guidance.

I'm really seeking a company in the Atlanta area that has focus for part-timers. I haven't taken any training yet don't know where to start everyone leaves to go home at 5:00pm when I get off. I have been learning things to do from reading blogs, and surfing the web.

I will be going tomorrow to MLS to take the training on how to use the system. :grin:

I read people suggest to get a mentor, but where do I start for that. I also read people don't like to work with part-timers because they can't do business doing normal business hours.

My goal is to go full time but I won't be able to do that unless I get a chance to learn and get my feet wet. I'm single, so I don't have any additional income to cover until I get going full speed. All I need is some help and guidance, as well a little patience. I'm willing to do what ever I need to do. I will assist anyone just for a chance to learn.

Any suggestions, guidance,tips, all is appreciated.

Thanking you in advance for your support. :)

It all depends on what your goals are.

I am the principal broker of my company and I have agents throughout Metro Atlanta. Doing business has nothing to do with going into a building on a daily basis.

I help agents whether they want to do 3 deals a year or 5 a month.

Unlike traditional brokerages my agents work from their home office,internet cafe,restaurants,mobile laptop,etc.

I only charge 289.00 per transaction with no monthly fees.

If you go to a traditional broker they pass the monthly costs of the building onto you. It's a dying business model that doesn't fit the needs of today's agents.

If you are interested PM me and we will talk.

Eventually I might go into licensing but that is awhile off for me.
