To Paramount:
Your glib remark is inaccurate. But I am guessing you were more interested in getting a good rip in more than actually helping the op. A proud one finger salute to you sir.
To the op:
Something to bear in mind is the basic dynamic of the broker-agent relationship.
The cost to a broker of taking you on is basically zero.
If you want to get a good education and the tools to succeed, I recommend having a friend do a search for which agents do the most business in the neighborhoods that interest you. Then compile a list of them and fax or email all of them your resume asking to “join their team” or some similar noncommittal language. It allows you to find out who needs an assistant and who actually responds to their communications.
Talk to any who call you.
If you can get a paying gig out this then take it.
If you cant then go with whomever offers you the most educational experience.
The diversity of styles in this business is huge.
Lots of successful agents in this industry do business in very different ways (eg SD and sdr and me).
Don’t be afraid to be honest if an agent just seems like a bad fit.
Okay that’s my 2 bits.
Good luck brother and feel free to ask questions.
