Re: Does age matter?
18 certainly is young to be selling real estate, but then I remember hearing that Dave Liniger started at about that age. FYI he's the founder of RE/MAX.
So go for it!
My daughter got into the business at 22. She did very well with people who got to "know" her via the internet. By the time they met her, her youth did not matter to them.
She also built a site that attracted the "younger set" and focused working with "first time home buyers". They would love to work with an agent they could idenitify with.
The best way to gain credibilty is to purchase a home or income property of your own. Set a good example and tell all your friends about it. Being so young you have time on your side. Buy a rental every year and retire young and weathy!
You could also hook up with an experienced agent and take the "over flow" leads. We always have the lead that no one really wants to work. These leads would truly appreciate your care and attention.
Good luck!
