• The industry is in the midst of great change. Change brings unbridled opportunity to new entrants!

• The Internet and its transformation of business is leading the way.

• Success in real estate is easier when you possess:

1.) Great people skills — energy, intelligence, and heart!

2.) The ability to embrace change, adapt to new concepts and technologies and enjoy continuous learning.

3.) Relationship building skills that are consumer-centric and create value.

4.) The willingness to work long, yet rewarding hours to get people where they want to go!!

Why is Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors looking for NEW real estate

agents?

• FACT: The National Association of Realtors predicts that 50% of the agents, who are practicing real estate today, will leave the business over the next 5-10 years.

• Why? The answer is a multifaceted one. A few reasons are:

1. The use of technology continues to accelerate. Agents that use technology to increase customer service and productivity will continue to “edge out” agents who don’t get it.

2. Increased access to real estate information has armed consumers with more knowledge and raised their expectations for the services provided by real estate agents. Many Realtors find it difficult to transition from “gatekeeper of the MLS” to “trusted advisor and consultant”.

3. The new consumer is independent, techno-literate and socially networked. Consumers have control of the service quality perception. Consumers want a relationship first. Many Realtors® find this the most difficult leap having come from 2 decades of an agent-centric business environment.

At Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors®, we believe that new agents are vital to our continued growth and profitability, and we are committed to their success through training, support and innovative tools.

There is a huge opportunity for new associates. We welcome new agents that want to build a successful career.

Typical Day in the Real Estate Business

One of the lures of the real estate business is that there is a lot of flexibility in your schedule and activities.

There are literally dozens of activities that, as an agent, you can take part in during your business week, such as the following:

– Previewing your office’s new listings on your office tour; - increase product knowledge– Previewing properties listed by other agencies; - expand product knowledge– Completing paperwork on transactions; - attention to details– Following up with prospects; - developing and solidifying relationships– Setting showing appointments; - organizational skills– Attending office meetings; - grow your knowledge of the industry– Finding potential customers/clients; - prospecting– Giving listing proposals; presentation, sales and negotiation skills– Answering calls at the office on schedule assigned by office, or holding homes’ open.

There are certain critical activities agents must perform to get paid, such as prospecting to find buyers and sellers, listing saleable properties and selling properties.

Agents who create careers quickly do many business-producing activities. They do enough support activities [paperwork,etc.] to maintain their business production.

Can I work part-time in real estate while I transition from my existing job? It is very rare that one succeeds in real estate while holding another job. As a real estate agent, you work as a fiduciary for your client – holding their interests above your own. Being employed in another capacity restricts your ability to serve your clients with a 100% commitment.

The real estate business is dynamic and changes daily. The availability of properties change, interest

rates fluctuate and clients you work with want you available on their time schedule. It is imperative that you are available to communicate with the office, the marketplace and your customers and clients on a regular basis. To best understand your time commitment, we have compiled a list of agent expectations:

– Be representative of our brand which stands for trust, high ethics and professionalism;– Acquire a strong foundation of the business by attending all modules of our Fast Start training classes;– Stay informed on the industry and acquire product knowledge by attending sales meetings and tours;– Hold Open Houses to expand your sphere of influence– Work diligently through our training and support programs to acquire your first listing and sale within 30

days;– Treat real estate like a business – go to the office regularly;– Professionalism in appearance;– Meet with Manager regularly;– Schedule face to face appointments with buyers and sellers;– Attend company functions;– Voice Mail – Check every hour throughout the day;– E-Mail – Check every hour throughout the day;– Make Sphere of Influence and prospecting calls daily;– Formulate and follow business plan immediately following training classes.

10 Characteristics of the Successful Salesperson

Do You Think You Have What It Takes?

1. Sociability – A natural tendency to gain satisfaction by associating with other people.

2. Assertiveness – A natural tendency to take initiative in order to influence or control some aspect of the environment.

3. Achievement – The consistent need an individual feels for the achievement of rewards such as high performance, income, and status. People with strong success drive will accept challenges and endure hardships in order to succeed.

4. Dependability – People with high dependability tend to be accurate, thorough, detail-oriented, conscientious and on time.

5. Emotional resilience – The amount of psychological energy and mental endurance an individual has under normal conditions.

6. Financial Stability – The pressure of unpaid bills can be unnerving to a new salesperson. We find that adequate savings of at least four months of living expenses enables a new salesperson to concentrate on their clients best interest and not on the commission.

7. Support – This is perhaps the most important ingredient. The confidence, support, trust and understanding of family and friends is the most valuable asset to the new salesperson. A clear understanding of the hours and demands of the business by all parties is helpful.

8. Enthusiasm! The public rates this as one of the top three most important characteristics in choosing a real estate agent.

9. Sales Ability:• Building rapport and acquiring information;• Listening and Comprehension skills;• Managing the sales process;• Closing Skills.

10. Techno-literate – Most consumers expect agents to work with efficient and high-tech tools.

• A career in real estate will afford you freedom and flexibility not commonly found in most nine-to-five careers. This independence certainly has its rewards in terms of job satisfaction and the opportunity for monetary success.

• You are rewarded in direct proportion to your efforts, and there is no limit to the amount you can earn. Real estate is a profession that everyone talks about. A high percentage of families’ net worth is tied to the property they own, and most purchase property through the help of a real estate agent.

• To be involved in this process is very challenging and rewarding.

In most jobs, you are paid

What the job is worth.

In real estate, you are paid what you are worth.

Best wishes for a most successful real estate career….
