TAKE THE INMAN INTEL INDEX SURVEY FOR SEPTEMBER

Maybe it was the first time you had to “fire” a client. Maybe it was the first time a transaction unexpectedly imploded. It might have been an exciting moment, like depositing your first commission check or landing your first really big listing all by yourself.

Whatever the moment, there was probably a specific time when you realized you weren’t a newbie anymore.

It’s New Agent Month, so tell us about an experience that took you from novice to seasoned pro. What happened? What was the result? Were you the picture of grace under fire, or were you freaking out? Did someone help you through, or did you figure it out on your own? Share your story below:


We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
