Q for agents about getting into the business

[Ren]

…so I’m burned out on writing and considering a major career change. I love the RE market, I’m personable (not obnoxiously outgoing, but people seem to like me for some reason) and figure that makes it a no-brainer. I believe that this is a good time to begin the learning process, as agents are leaving the business, and I’ll be poised to make some money when the market levels off in a few years.

I know a couple of agents, so they will be my first points of contact. My questions are, which companies tend to hire licensed agents with no experience? Which are the best companies to work for? I know that I will make very little money the first year or two, that isn’t an issue.

My current career provides me with qualities that will transfer well – computer knowledge, image enhancement, fanatical attention to detail, and experience writing ad copy. The marketing content on many MLS listings seems to be written by retarded chimps, so I would think this would be a big plus.

Thanks in advance!

Just get your RE license. Your postal mailbox will be filled with letters saying “Dear New Licensee: Come interview with us…”

When brokers are hiring, they buy mailing lists of new licensees. You’ll have plenty of employers to evalutate.

My Chimp would rather be called mentally challenged thank you.

I think any time is a good time. You will have to work to generate some leads, but its not rocket science. As with anything, you get what you put into it and I would say the majority of the agents I come across do not give it 100%, but the ones that do well tend to put in a lot of hours. Be prepared to give up your weekends for your clients.

not sure what the future looks like. is the current model what r.e. agents will be living under a couple decades from now? Seems likely that commissions will be slimmer, internet will increasingly encroach. i could be very wrong. frankly i have no sense of what a good line of work would be to get in nowadays.
