I'm coming from a business/economics background thinking of starting in real estate in New York City.
Concentrate on Marketing yourself even more than marketing your business. Be the "go to expert." And here is tip that will serve you well if you adhere to it....You don't have to be the brightest, smartest, most knowledgeable, or most experienced in order to be the best choice. Secondly, do not do what other average sales people are doing unless you want average results. Find ways to creatively and effectively market yourself and your services. Enjoy what you do and value your time.
