In many ways it made us a stronger school because we were educated during the process of being approved.\u00a0 And we must maintain a high pass rate for our students in order to keep our school approved by TREC.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what is it that other schools don\u2019t tell you?\u00a0 They don\u2019t tell you that by starting a career as a real estate agent, you are actually starting a BUSINESS.\u00a0 And if you don\u2019t treat it as a business, you won\u2019t be as successful as you could be.\u00a0 When you start this Business of real estate, you are now the CEO, CFO, Marketing Director, IT guy\/gal, Accountant, Receptionist, and pretty much everything else.\u00a0 I hope I haven\u2019t scared you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that having this information actually empowers you.\u00a0 You now know more than most agents entering the field.\u00a0 So what\u2019s the key to handling all these different roles that you will encounter?\u00a0 The biggest key is to have systems in place.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about written systems.\u00a0 Not elaborate or difficult.\u00a0 Just plain and simple systems that will keep you organized and on track.<\/p>\n<p>These systems include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lead Generation System (How you will make contacts and find your prospects.)<\/li>\n<li>Database System (How you will keep track of the people you know, clients, and past clients.)<\/li>\n<li>Budget and Financial System (How you will track your income and expenses so you keep more money than you spend.)<\/li>\n<li>Time Blocking System (How you will manage your time to stay productive.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Get it?\u00a0 Not scarey.\u00a0 Just being organized and staying on track with your goals.\u00a0 These are just a few examples of systems you can use to drive your business in the direction of success.\u00a0 There are a variety of systems you can use and the good news is that you get to choose what they look like.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At Pioneer School of Real Estate, one of our goals is to maintain a relationship with our students beyond just passing the exam to get a license.\u00a0 We want to be a resource to our students and help to propel you to success in real estate.\u00a0 We are here for seasoned agents as well.\u00a0 We will soon be launching our social media sites where we will be sharing tips and information to help agents grow their business.\u00a0 We invite you to be a part of the Pioneer family.\u00a0 So check back soon for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real estate schools in Texas are great at preparing you to take and pass the real estate exam required to &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[17,16,19,18],"class_list":["post-165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-real-estate-license","tag-real-estate-school","tag-texas-real-estate-license","tag-trec","latest_post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=165"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":167,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions\/167"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pioneerschoolofrealestate.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
