This article was last updated Feb. 1, 2024.

February is Inman’s New Agent Month. The past couple of intense, highly competitive years saw a huge influx of new agents, but now, that market has given way to a time of unprecedented changes. For new agents who want to hang in there and keep growing, information and education are more meaningful and important than ever.

Fortunately, we’re ready to equip new agents with everything they need as February brings with it the promise of a more hopeful spring market.

What to expect

Making the big first-year decisions, getting up to speed on sales skills and market knowledge, learning how to market a brand new business — we’re homing in on all things critical for new agents to thrive.

Each day, you’ll find new how-to’s rookie agents will find invaluable.

Our editorial staff will also be taking a broader look at what it means to be entering this industry and how to keep your new career moving forward.

How to get involved

Advice

We can’t wait to go a little deeper on some of the thorny issues that rookie agents face in the field.

From the awkward “My client’s husband slid into my DMs, what do I do?” to the unbearable “How do I tell my clients their house smells like cat piss?” we want to know about some of the hairy situations you’ve faced in the industry thus far.

We’ll consult the experts for their hot takes on your situation and report back in our New Agent Lifesaver column. Send us your questions here.

Pulse

Each week, we’ll pose a different question about new agent life in our Pulse survey. Please weigh in with your insights and experiences in our anonymous, one-question survey, and we’ll share the results the following week.
