Are you a first-year real estate agent in Chicago wondering how to find consistent success in your early career?
The first year in real estate can be both exciting and overwhelming. You’ve got your license and your ambition—but where do you start? How do you get clients, understand contracts, and navigate Chicago’s competitive housing market? More importantly, how do you build a business that’s sustainable, not just busy?
At Camille Canales Group, we specialize in helping first-year agents not just survive but thrive. Led by seasoned Chicago Realtor Camille Canales, our team combines coaching, structure, mentorship, and tools that empower new agents to close deals confidently and consistently—all while building a brand they’re proud of.
Why So Many First-Year Agents Burn Out (And How to Avoid It)
According to NAR, many new agents don’t make it past their first year. Why?
-
No clear structure
-
Lack of mentorship
-
No lead sources or marketing system
-
Confusion around contracts, showings, and compliance
-
Feeling isolated and unsupported
That’s exactly why Camille Canales Group was built: to solve these problems with a team-first, mentorship-driven approach that helps agents gain traction fast in their first 12 months.
