Rob Hahn’s Advice for New Agents:

Join A Team

Join a really good team and learn how they do what they do so well. After a few years of learning, if you decide you have what it takes to branch out on your own then you know how to do it.

“That's how great companies are formed. They come out of other great companies… Go find a really great team in your area and join it. Learn all you can. Suck up all that experience, that knowledge and then make some decisions at that point.”
