Re: Advice for Starting Residential Real Estate Closing Prac

More | Report Post

My recommendation is that you get your feet wet with a real
estate closing firm first. Look for firms that are dealing
with foreclosures, relocation work or bank work. This way you
can make some contacts and make sure it is the area that you
would like to concentrate on.

Good luck
