Broker: What I tell new real estate agents (and my top 3 apps)

Broker Tom McBride of Avalon Properties Group once had a zealous rookie agent who was willing to drive 400 miles one way in a day to get a document signed and notarized within a lender’s timeframe demands. (McBride coached him in another direction.)

When asked, “How can brokers prepare new agents?” McBride also shares his top piece of advice for the 24/7 world we live in: respond to your leads fast, or expect them to get captured by another agent.

Finally, he reveals the top three apps he’d download if he were dropped in a new city and expected to close a real estate deal.
