1. Evaluate Your Needs

Starting a new career in real estate can seem daunting at first glance, especially to a new agent. But what makes great agents truly awesome at their trade starts with a great mentor to help them through the early career bumps along the way.

  Sometimes when we're starting out in any new endeavor, we simply need to talk out our frustrations, fears, and expectations, which is why it's so important to have someone who is a good listener.  Good listeners also can process information for the speaker and help them come to a logical conclusion of their thoughts.
  
  More often than not, if we are allowed to "talk it out" to someone willing to take the time and listen, we can learn and draw our own conclusions about whatever is going on around us. A great mentor is always a good listener and is available to help their mentee vocalize the things that they are thinking about.

With every relationship you build, it's vital to start by getting a clear picture of your client's expectations and letting them know what you will be able to do based on market conditions, available properties, budget, etc.
