That means you need a lot of cash upfront to keep your business alive, from all of the marketing and advertising expenses, MLS and trade association fees, office supplies, and other overhead costs… not to mention your living expenses. Yet many real estate agents waste considerable advertising dollars prospecting for new clients while leaving cash on the table from their current and past clients.
