I think finding a good mentor involves a combination of self-reflection, research, and networking. When you are looking for a good mentor start by identifying WHAT you want to learn and the areas where you need guidance. Look for mentors who have experience and success in those specific areas. Then attend industry events, join some professional groups/organizations and mostly get involved and ask questions, people want to help you!! A good mentor often comes into your life when you are truly ready to learn. Sometimes, this means being open to learning different things and being adaptable in your approach. Be proactive, show genuine interest, and be willing to invest time and effort in the mentorship relationship.

A landmark legal settlement between home sellers and the real estate industry could cause a shakeup in the way homes are bought and sold, beginning this summer. Here's a great article and video (below) explaining the situation.

Sometime between now and when the settlement goes into effect this summer, buyer's agents might start asking buyers to sign contracts that spell out how much the agents will be paid and at what point in the process. If you want to take a course to help you navigate these new waters, sign up for the Buyers Agency Professional Designation course here.

What concerns do you have about the upcoming changes?
