5 Ways to know you’ve found the right brokerage
Have you decided to leave the corporate world behind for a career in real estate? If so, you’ve chosen a rewarding career with a flexible schedule and unlimited income potential. Best of all, every day, you get to help people achieve their home ownership dreams.
While you’re knocking on doors, calling everyone you know, and otherwise getting the word out about your new venture, you’ll want to partner with an established real estate broker. When you partner with a broker, you get to learn the ropes with the support of experienced agents while building your client base and polishing your craft.
According to the National Association of Realtors, more than 80 percent of new real estate agents leave the business within their first two years—so it’s important to choose wisely. Here’s what to look for in a brokerage, and five reasons why a full-service firm such as Weichert, Realtors—Hallmark Properties is the ideal place to launch your career.
1. Individualized support. A flexible schedule is one reason many people choose a career in real estate. Weichert, Realtors—Hallmark Properties understands that you have a life outside of the office. We also understand that no two people learn the same way. That’s why we provide personalized one-on-one coaching that addresses your strengths and weaknesses, to help you reach your full potential.
