How did you find a good mentor?

I have just finished my course and final, and hoping to begin my attempts at the state exam as soon as my fingerprints are done. I'm hoping to become a new agent in the Tampa area.

​

I am very nervous about my career in real estate because, although I love the field, I don't feel like the course has prepared me AT ALL. I know that I will need to learn SO much more in order to become a good agent, and it's important to me that I genuinely become a valuable asset to anyone who decides to take a chance on doing business with me as a new agent.

​

So how the heck do I decide which brokerage is right? They all say the same thing "we're the best for new agents!" and I can research their terms, but frankly, I feel woefully unprepared in terms of choosing what brokerage to start with. Furthermore, I have no clue how to find a good mentor, and I feel like that will be the most important aspect of my success since the licensing course has essentially taught me diddly squat about the day-to-day tasks of a real estate agent.

​

Any advice is helpful, so thank you in advance!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
