Starting a new career in real estate can be a challenge, but it also requires getting your financials in order. You're essentially starting your own business, which comes with its own share of troubles. Fortunately, this is why Homesale Realty is the most successful in getting new real estate agents started in their careers. 

Here are our suggestions for setting yourself up for financial success as a new agent.

• Establish Some Savings
  Depending on whether you're starting with your own business or if you're working for an experienced agent, you'll want to have some savings set aside while you get your new career started. Most financial advisors would recommend that anyone have at least 2-6 months of living expenses saved up in case they run into a financial bind.
  
  For a real estate agent, especially starting out, your first paycheck might be two or three months after your first sale. Real estate isn't exactly like selling a car, and you may not realize your commissions until well after the paperwork has been signed, and the mortgage process has begun in earnest.

It can seem like there's never enough time in the day and this feeling is especially true for those working in the real estate industry. The experts at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty understand this and have created a guide to help you successfully schedule your time.

• Step 1: Stop & Breathe
  Between professional duties, personal obligations and the ups and downs that each week brings, quite frankly there really aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish all of your ambitions. But that's okay! Scheduling success starts by realizing that you have to prioritize your many responsibilities to ensure you're achieving your goals with quality and consistency.

So you've just completed your first year in real estate or perhaps you're looking at a new career and are wondering what it's like to get started. Naturally, those first weeks and months in any new career are the hardest part, but once you've got the hang of things and gain some valuable experience, then you'll be well on your way to a successful career in the field.

But what exactly defines success? Let's take a look at how to measure success during your first year in real estate.

• Get a Mentor
  Any successful businessperson, no matter their field of work, has a strong mentor on their side to guide them and help them get started. A mentor, whether within your company or outside, can help guide you through the real estate landscape as an agent, as well as help you get up to speed on the business side of your new career.
  
  Mentors are also extremely valuable as an objective evaluator helping you measure your success. Having this person on your side will give you a different point of view and provide you with feedback.
