I was able to get picked up by a broker very quickly and I’m in commercial real estate now.

I have now been practicing real estate 6-7 months and have closed 5 transactions.

I took my test on Wednesday, Jan. 2, passed it the first time. By Tuesday I was online ... got my first listing … and by that Sunday I had two offers.
