Congratulations! You’ve officially crossed the starting line in real estate. But here’s the thing: a license doesn’t guarantee success action does. If you're feeling excited but unsure of what comes next, you're not alone.
In today’s fast paced real estate landscape, what you do in your first 30-90 days can either set you up for massive momentum or leave you stuck in analysis paralysis. That’s why we’ve created this tactical blueprint with 11 must do actions every new real estate agent should take in 2025.
Let’s jump in.
The fastest way to collapse the learning curve is to partner with someone who’s already done what you want to do. Whether it’s a broker, team leader, or outside coach, you need someone who can guide you, challenge you, and hold you accountable. Success leaves clues follow someone who’s already winning.
If you don’t know your tools, you can’t serve your clients. Dive deep into your local MLS system, learn how to run comps, set up auto alerts, and track hot neighborhoods. At the same time, get comfortable with your CRM this will be your database goldmine.
Pro tip: If your office doesn’t provide a great CRM, explore modern platforms like Follow Up Boss, Chime, or kvCORE.
"Work hard" is not a strategy. Work intentionally. Set a clear goal maybe it’s 3 closed deals or 100 conversations and break it down into daily tasks. How many calls? How many DMs? How many doors knocked? Action is math.

Your online presence matters more than ever. Even if you don’t have listings yet, you need to look like a pro. Set up your Instagram and Facebook pages, create a Google Business profile, and start publishing educational, value packed content. Introduce yourself. Share market tips. Be visible.
It’s not enough to quietly tell your friends you’re now a Realtor. You need a launch campaign. Write a compelling email. Post a confident video. Go live on social. Let your sphere know you’re in business and you’re here to help.
The people closest to you are the most likely to become your first clients or referrals. Take them for coffee. Show up at networking events. Call them directly. Your database is your foundation nurture it.
Don’t overthink it. A simple “Hey, I just got my license and I’m here to help if you or anyone you know is thinking about buying or selling” goes a long way.
Your first listing appointment, buyer consultation, or open house conversation will come sooner than you think. And when it does, you better be ready. Rehearse objection handlers, listing scripts, and buyer consultations daily. Practice out loud. Record yourself. Role play with other agents.
Confidence is built through repetition.
You don’t need to know your entire market yet but you do need to own a specific area. Start small. Pick a zip code or neighborhood, study every listing and sale, and start walking it, door knocking it, mailing it. You want to become the go to expert in that micro market.
You may not have your own listings yet but that doesn’t mean you can’t work them. Partner with agents in your office and offer to host their open houses. It’s a great way to meet buyers, practice your pitch, and get real leads in real time.
Bring snacks, show up early, and follow up relentlessly.
If you don’t prospect, you don’t survive. Period. Get in the habit now of starting every day with income producing activity. That means calls, DMs, texts, follow ups, and handwritten notes. Three hours of proactive outreach a day can change your entire career.
Webinars, trainings, podcasts they’re great. But they’re not a substitute for action. Learn fast and execute faster. Take what you hear, test it, and move. Don’t spend six weeks perfecting a script make calls today.
Starting your real estate career in 2025 doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t need everything figured out but you do need to take massive action on the right things. These 11 steps are your roadmap. Print them. Post them. Live them.
Because in real estate, the agents who win aren’t the ones who “hope” for leads. They’re the ones who create opportunities daily.
