INITIAL LICENSE ACTIVATION AND ONBOARDING
We need to get you signed up with a brokerage and then signed up with the Association and MLS. If you are a commercial agent, you should consult your broker on what the best steps are for this process. Remember….. Items in Red must be done.
Please follow the step-by-step instructions on getting yourself set up and ready to hit the road. .
First please download the New Agent Checklist
Use this to check off items as completed.
Get a Gmail address.
This is the very first step. You must not use your personal email address. Let’s keep everything separate. This is your core address for your real estate administrative activities. The company may provide you with your own company email but still get another one dedicated to your business.
It should be something like marysmithrealtor@gmail.com or marysmithhomesales@gmail.com.. whatever is available, not too long though, and easy to say and be understood over the phone. No numbers or hyphens. Later on, we will get you your own domain name and you can use this if needed.
