How do I get my real estate business off the ground?

Melissa T asked:


I am a real estate sales agent with a small real estate company in Southern, NJ. I signed up with my company about 3 weeks ago and I just realized that they really don’t train me on anything, like they originally said. I want to get clients on my own because they don’t train me or assist me with anything. THey basically gave me some business cards they printed and sent me on my way.
How can I build my business? What are some creative techniques for getting leads?

Will I need a real estate license to enter into a contract with any apt complex to locate renters for them?

tyghtshots asked:


Thank you all for responding so promptly to my question on obtaining a real estate license. Now I see and understand that I don’t need one to locate the apartment, but the obtaining the education would be beneficial to me. If I want to enter into a contract with an apartment complex do I need a license for that? I wouldn’t show the apartment to the renter, but I’d let them know where it was and all of the other fun stuff that comes along with the search.

Thank you all!
