Hmm, unless you've got reserves in the bank, you probably need to go to a cold calling shop, like the above guy... preferably one that gives you leads.
Otherwise, you're looking at no paycheck for several months, while you build up your contacts.
You have to be the sort of person, who has no problem talking to people, and would go out and visit realtors and schmooze them a bit, for business.
You could get a list of recent alumni from your college, and mass mail them though.... with something like, Grats! You're out of college, now take the next step, and buy a house, blah blah blah.
Or... start off as an assistant, and learn the business, and then move up from there.
You have to be credible, something that takes more than a few months to really do...
What state are ya in wds?
