I will be taking my state license test in New York in December and I won't be applying for my license until I get a car which would probably be about a year from now. Now that I am learning all the school required information to get started what else can I do to train myself before I actually work for an office. I already research tips and ideas for marketing and plans for presentations, things like that.What else can I do in the meantime? Are there any other classes or books I should get. I already have 2 books about the business but also want to know of other ideas to get me ready to be part of this industry. I would love input from Licensed RE agents and brokers.Thank you!

I think you should go ahead and get your license now even though you don't have a car yet.For one thing, it will sound better when you start looking for work, that you have been licensed for a year.Secondly, I don't know what part of New York you live in, but in NYC you don't need a car to sell real estate. Especially if you lease apartments, which are usually accessible by public transportation. It's less than ideal, but it is doable.Finally, if you live in a suburb where there are new home communities being built (like here in Georgia) you could work on site or in Property Management. In those types of settings, the clients come to you. So all you would really need is transportation to work and a ride home.Then with all the great money you make, you could purchase your car!
