really matter.

through the tricky maze of
managing time, and how to keep
commitments to your clientele.
Confidence
Sometimes you have more skills

selling homes than other agents.

and your ability to meet with

skills, your communication, and
your ability to work with any
client.

can teach you how to market
yourself locally.
