To find the right company/broker to work for, you might want to talk with other Realtors in your area. Ask them how they like the company they are working for, how much training is being offered, if they have experienced agents willing to help new people, if they are asking a desk fee, what the company is doing for their agents in regards of advertising, business cards and so on, does their company have a web site and are the agents listed on this web sites – a lot of questions. Realtors outside the office will tell you the goods and the bads of the company they are working for – another good question to ask would be – why are you with this company and also if you would switch companies today who would you go and work for. I think that would be a good start.
when I starte my Real Estate Carreer I started out with Century 21. first because it is a good name and a good reputation and they did a lot especially for agents coming fresh from school. They had a seasoned Realtor on my site for my first few transactions and he did help me through the whole procedure. When I started there it was a fairly small office and it felt just like family, everybody was helping everybody. Then this Office started growing and I was just not ready to work in an office with so many people – mainly because then all the back stabbing started and the former so great atmosphere went down. So I switched to ERA. This office was similar to the Century 21 office when I started. It was fairly small and here also everybody helped everybody. This office closed after a few years and then I was ready to go back to Century 21 and even to the larger office.
Most Real Estate offices offer training – the larger franchises of course normally more and specific training than smaller non franchise companys are able to provide.
Als if you just start in real estate you might be better of in one of the big franchise offices because the name alone will drive clients to you. Everybody knows who Century 21,ERA, Coldwell and Banker or the other big brand names are. The clients recognize the name and are more likely to walk through the door – other companys have to advertise more to get the client into their office. For my own start into Real Estate – picking a smaller office from a big franchise, worked out for me.
