Question: Real Estate Agent?

Hi everyone,

I recently received my real estate license in the state of Texas (last week) and now I’m working for a local company. Well now I’m trying to market myself throughout the community. What are some different localities where I can perhaps display business cards? What other marketing tools could I possibly use besides handing out business cards, pamplets, brochures, along with flyers?

Some of the things I’ve done already are to buy car magnets and business cards, which at the moment I’m waiting to receive them. I have gone to different localities like gas stations, restaurants, and hotels to ask if once I receive my business cards if they would allow me to display them there.

Some of the things that I think are advantageous for me are the fact that I am a female and speak Spanish and English fluently. However I’m 19 years old and I’m afraid that sometimes people are more interested in experienced Realtors rather then young ones. Help! Thank You very much.

Yvette

Answer: Hey Yvette, the best way to market yourself is by NETWORKING…
You should start contacting loan officers, brokers, etc…
I always have people that wants to buy homes in TX….

You should give me a call sometime or send me an e-mail, I have people interested in buying properties over there.

By the way, my toll free number is 877-717-0581 Ext. 240

Question: Help. Can’t Decide. Which one? Business or Pharmacy?

Which one should I pick: business or pharmacy? I’m very passionate about business, but I don’t know what job should I get after I get my Bachelors degree or MBA from it. My parents said I should be a full time student first to study pharmacy and become a pharmacist just to have a “parachute job” in case the economy goes down.

Although I made a lot of research in both regarding which colleges to go to and the classes to take, I don’t know which one I should pick.

I used to be passionate in pharmacy, but then my route changed. I started to have a high interest and a bright passion on business stuff like marketing, sales, accounting, financing, business management, real estate, investing, retailing, and entrepreneurship.

I’m still a sophomore in high school. I just need help on deciding which one I should pick or what plan should be necessary.

Answer: Your parents advice is sound. The best way to handle this is to do BOTH. You can major in pharmacology and minor in business. That way you could go either direction or a combination of both!

Good Luck!
