PS If you’re interviewing brokerages, here’s a list of questions you’ve got to ask to make sure you’re finding the right fit for you and your business.  

EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING

Whether you’re brand new to real estate or a seasoned professional, you’ll benefit from our comprehensive training program. If you’re an experienced agent we’re happy to fast-track the process, while still making sure you get the full benefit of this proven program.

• You’ll experience “live” individual and small group training in our 8-week intensive Bootcamp Program from our Trainers, Sabrina Bright and Brad Bosker, as well as our Broker, Kathy Schmidt.
• You’ll learn how to prepare well-crafted contracts and thorough property evaluations, plus you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of issues relating to Real Property Reports, buyer brokerage, condos, communication, time management, and so much more!
• You’ll receive one on one guidance to help you prepare for your appointments and offers, plus invaluable business development education.

DEPENDABLE  SUPPORT

After training, ongoing support will continue to strengthen and sustain your real estate career.  In our ever-changing industry it’s vital to stay on top of new rules and regulations as well as current issues faced by consumers.  It’s good to know you’ve got the backing you need when challenges arise.

• You’ll have access to ongoing mentoring from our Trainers and Broker, so you can rest assured that your clients are safe and you are acting in the best manner to protect their interests.
• Every contract you prepare will be reviewed multiple times to ensure accuracy and safety. We’ll let you know if there’s anything missing right away to ensure your contracts are strong and enforceable.
• You’ll enjoy professional support from our amazing Admin Team. They’ll handle everything from booking showings at your listings to setting up your appointments for a day of seeing homes with your relocation clients! They’re available to you and your clients during our extended office hours (9-8 weekdays and 10-4 weekends).

COLLABORATIVE GROUP STRUCTURE

Training and support provide a strong base.  Working with a collaborative group of professionals is the secret sauce to thriving and enjoying work/life balance!

• We work together as a non-competitive collaborative group. We recognize that everyone has different business goals and family commitments, and that success means different things to different people.  Your business goals and results are considered private, unless you choose to share.
• Our group is collaborative, and naturally helpful and generous. We’ll freely share our knowledge and expertise to help you and your clients, and we trust you’ll do the same! We believe we are all stronger together!
• When you need to step away from your business, whether for a fun trip or a family emergency, coverage is always available from a colleague. Thanks to our strong marketing and client care systems, your buyers and sellers will experience a smooth transition to another professional while you’re off, and you can step back into their purchase or sale seamlessly when you’re back!
