Getting your real estate license feels amazing! You studied hard, passed the exam, and officially earned the right to help people buy and sell homes.
But then reality hits: now what? If you’re staring at your shiny new license, wondering how to turn it into actual income, you’re not alone. Most new agents feel completely lost after getting licensed, and honestly, that’s totally normal.
The good news? You don’t have to figure it out through trial and error. Our new Survive & Thrive course provides you with the exact roadmap that will help you turn that license into a thriving business.
Why Most New Agents Struggle
Real estate agent Eric Schultz puts it perfectly. “The easiest part of real estate was getting my license. After that, OK, now you’re licensed. Now what do you do?”
That confusion is exactly why so many new agents fail within their first year. You have legal permission to practice real estate, but nobody taught you how to actually build a successful business.
Most new agents make these critical mistakes:
- Relying solely on friends and family for leads (Spoiler alert: that well runs dry fast)
- Trying to be everything to everyone instead of focusing on what actually works
- Getting overwhelmed by all the “guru” advice and shiny object syndrome
- Burning out because they’re working harder, not smarter
The truth is, real estate success isn’t about natural talent or luck. It’s about following a proven system and avoiding the pitfalls that trip up most newcomers.
What Successful Agents Do Differently
The agents who thrive in their first year don’t wing it. They follow specific strategies that work. Here’s what separates the winners from the rest:
They build relationships first
Leigh Harris explains her approach: “I think building relationships is super important with people, and when you put the relationship part first instead of like the saleswoman part first, then it doesn’t feel like you’re being pushy.”
This strategy is effective because it alleviates pressure and fosters genuine trust. When people don’t feel like they’re being sold to, they’re more likely to actually work with you.
They focus on being helpful in their community
Christina Goodpaster shares how this approach paid off: “A lot of the referrals I got off the bat in the first year or two were people saying, ask Christina, she knows about the town, she knows what’s going on. It wasn’t necessarily like, oh, she’s sold 1,000,000 deals, or she can help you with a house. But like, this is a girl in the community that knows what’s going on, and she always has the best recommendations.”
They control what they can control
Instead of stressing about market conditions or competition, successful new agents focus on activities within their control: consistently prospecting, continually improving their skills, and providing exceptional service.
What The Survive & Thrive Course Covers
Our Survive & Thrive course isn’t just another collection of generic real estate tips. It’s a complete roadmap built specifically for agents in their first year, covering:
- Lead Generation Strategies that Actually Work: Learn how to generate consistent leads without relying on friends and family or expensive marketing that may not deliver results.
- Running Open Houses that Convert: Transform open houses from awkward social events into powerful business-building opportunities.
- Time Management for New Agents: Discover how to prioritize your activities so you’re always working on what moves the needle forward.
- Building Your Professional Reputation: Strategies for establishing credibility in your market, even when you’re brand new.
- Creating Systems for Long-term Success: Build a business that grows sustainably without burning you out.
The course comprises three modules with 34 lessons, totaling approximately 4.5 hours of content. It’s completely online and self-paced, allowing you to learn at your own pace around your existing schedule.
Why This Course Works
Most real estate training focuses on veteran agents or tries to be one-size-fits-all. Survive & Thrive is different because it addresses the specific challenges new agents face. You’re not trying to scale a million-dollar business. Instead, you’re trying to get your first few deals and build momentum.
The strategies come from real agents who’ve successfully navigated their first year, not theoretical concepts that sound good on paper but don’t work in practice. Every lesson is designed to help you take action immediately and see results quickly.
Plus, we back it with a money-back guarantee. If you complete the course, take action on what you’ve learned, and still don’t find value, we’ll refund you with no hassle.
Turn Your License into Your Livelihood
Your real estate license represents possibility, but it’s just the starting point. The agents who succeed are those who commit to learning the right strategies from the beginning and avoid the common mistakes that derail so many promising careers.
