I'm going to sell Real State Sales soon... any advice???



I'm terrified about selling, but I know it will be something good for me... I want to meet people and be successful at it... any tips?... My main goal is to be great at it so i can do it full time and spend as much time as possible with my son... :)

It's called real estate first of all. Get that straight and go from there.
its real Estate. and you'll do fine
Make sure you have at least 1 years worth of bills in your savings. Remember always talk to people, let them know what you do, stay organized, and don't quit.

Good Luck
you go for it but do not forget you have a lot of competition
and the market is not in your favor for listing property.
but you can be better than others that are trying and do not accomplish anything. just be honest and respect the rules and regulations of real estate and remember do not quit your job for now you will not have income for some time.
Real estate sales is not for the faint of heart. If you are "terrified" of selling, then I strongly suggest that you investigate the sales training programs that companies offer their agents, evaluate them and get as much training as possible to help you increase you confidence. More confidence = less terror.

Being "great" at it is one thing -- but remember that for the majority of agents, either it's a full-time job, or it's a part-time job that fizzles after less than two years. It's full of women who think that it's a great "part time" job to "stay at home with their children", but don't realize that, especially if you are a buyer's agent, most of your time on weekends is spent showing properties. It takes a lot of discipline, organization and time management to be a good agent AND carve out that time you want with your children. And if an inspection has gone bad -- your seller's don't give a flip if you're at your son's T-ball game.

It isn't just showing houses and then showing up at the closing to pick up your check. (Although every once in a while, you get lucky!) If you are a listing agent, then you must develop expertise in marketing properties -- good agents are able to show their clients exactly what they are doing and what kind of results they are getting. If you are a buyer's agent, then you are researching homes, showing homes, and spending a lot of time getting into your buyer's head trying to figure out what the heck it is that they DO want!

To succeed, you are going to have to treat this like a business, which means having a marketing plan, goals, and ways to track progress. A good real estate office broker who specializes in training new agents is a MUST, if you don't know what you're doing in this regard.

Good luck!
