  The reason people flock to careers in real estate is because this is an industry which allows energetic entrepreneurs to reap unlimited rewards. Another lure is its promise of a flexible schedule, allowing the sales agent to build a business while they maintain their day job. It can be difficult to find the road to success when you are new to the industry. Here are a few tips to help beginners wondering how to get started.
  
  Avoid Most Seminars
  
  If you have seen these advertised, you may have asked, "what is a real estate seminar?" These seminars are typically held by investors who have developed a system promising fast money. The problem is that their methods frequently require an enormous initial investment and encourage taking dangerous risks. Often they are more about the expert selling books than helping people succeed.
  
  Avoid Common Mistakes
  
  
  
  Attempting to work in unfamiliar neighborhoods, mimicking a competitor's style and working without a plan are common beginner mistakes. Staying within a familiar area gives a professional appearance because you know what it offers, crime rates, school ratings and more. You can easily detect who the best buyers are for these homes rather than wasting your client's time. Attempting to copy the way someone else operates their business is a certain path to failure because you will seem to lack confidence. Develop a plan including long and short term goals and be uniquely you. You will stay on target and stand apart from the crowds of generic agents.
  
  Find a Mentor
  
  This is not the same as morphing into someone else. A mentor will share advice and tools, but will expect you to maintain your own personality. If you read the bio of Brian Buffini, you will understand how his events differ from a typical seminar. Here, people in all levels of the industry meet qualified mentors and learn how to succeed in their own way.
  
  Finding a mentor, avoiding scams and learning how to stand out from the crowd are just a few of the ways to improve your chances of success. Other tips include studying the market and demographics in your area, understanding the financial market in general and having a working understanding of local real estate laws. With time and training you may someday find yourself mentoring the next generation of dreamers.
