It was a floor time call, within a few days after I started. It ended up to be two double-end deals. My broker was very happy.

My first listing was from a lady who received my expired listing direct mail. That being said, my first listing did not sell. I learned SO much about what NOT to do, and what listings NOT to take from that experience.
