New Real Estate Agent

[Tremon P.]

I'm a new Real Estate Agent, for all of the real estate pros out there what should you look for in a brokerage? What's the best method to take when looking for a nice successful broker?

Tremon,

Congrats on becoming an agent! As a newbie, I feel you should be looking for a broker that has a strong support system for newer agents. This support system could include business planning, coaching, training and more. Being an agent is so much more than what most people believe, and if you are not set up for success from the beginning, your chances of failing are very high.

Another option to consider is joining a team within a brokerage. This option provides you a more intimate experience and I would highly encourage it for newer agents. The ability to have access to the knowledge of other team members, leaders and etc  will move you so much faster than trying to figure everything out on your own. 

Lastly, one aspect of a brokerage and/or a team that I found most important (for me) is the culture. When interviewing for these teams, be honest with yourself and think about how you operate. What is most important to you? Start to frame you interview questions around those thoughts. Working with a broker who aligns with your values and beliefs will ultimately feel more natural than working with one who does not. 

I hope that was helpful and good luck on your journey!
