By Coach J — The Modern Agent Mentor

You did it — you passed the exam, got your license, and you’re officially in the game.
Now what?

Here’s the thing: your first 30 days will set the tone for your entire career.
Most new agents either build momentum or burn out early — and the difference comes down to structure.

So let’s break it down, week by week, with a plan that keeps you moving, motivated, and money-minded.

🔥 Before You Start: Get Your House in Order

Before you start prospecting or posting, take care of the essentials.

✅ Choose a sponsoring broker who offers training and mentorship — not just a split.
✅ Set up your real estate email and social profiles.
✅ Order business cards and professional headshots.
✅ Open a separate bank account for commissions and expenses.
✅ Bookmark your MLS, TREC, and association dashboards.

💡 Coach J Tip: If you wouldn’t post it on LinkedIn, don’t put it on Instagram. Your brand starts now.

🗓️ Week 1 – Build Your Foundation

This is the “get organized” week. Don’t rush into sales yet — master your tools first.

✔️ Learn your CRM and input everyone you know.
✔️ Create a daily schedule — prospecting, training, and learning time.
✔️ Shadow an experienced agent or attend a brokerage orientation.
✔️ Write your first business plan (yes, even if it’s simple).

🧠 Coach J Tip: Business without structure = stress. Start building habits before you build a brand.

💬 Week 2 – Find Your Voice and Your Market

It’s time to decide who you serve and why.

✔️ Identify your target market (first-time buyers, divorce clients, probate, investors, etc.).
✔️ Develop your personal brand and tagline.
✔️ Start posting educational content — not sales pitches.
✔️ Announce your new career on social media with confidence and a call to action.

📣 Coach J Tip: Your first clients are watching how you show up online. Be consistent and authentic — not perfect.

🧾 Week 3 – Learn Your Contracts & Transaction Flow

This is where most new agents freeze — paperwork.
But knowing your contracts is how you protect your check and your client.

✔️ Study your state contracts and promulgated forms.
✔️ Practice writing offers and listing agreements.
✔️ Shadow a transaction from contract to close.
✔️ Get help early — our Contracts & Transaction Support sessions start at just $15/hour.

🧩 Coach J Tip: Every error is a lesson — but why not learn from mine instead of making your own?

💰 Week 4 – Generate Leads and Build Momentum

Now it’s go time. This is where you put everything you’ve learned into action.

✔️ Call everyone in your database and re-introduce yourself as a Realtor.
✔️ Host or co-host an open house.
✔️ Join a networking event or community group.
✔️ Follow up with every lead within 24 hours.
✔️ Track every conversation — even the “No’s.”

🚀 Coach J Tip: Activity breeds confidence. Confidence closes contracts.

✅ After Your First Deal: Don’t Stop — Scale

Congratulations — you did it!
But this is where most agents make a critical mistake — they relax.

✔️ Ask your client for a Google review and testimonial.
✔️ Create a social media “Just Closed” post that educates, not brags.
✔️ Add their referrals to your database.
✔️ Review what worked and what didn’t in your process.

Then get ready to do it again — but better.
