How do I start a career in real estate?
Some of the Valley’s most successful agents call John Hall & Associates home, and a lot of them started their real estate career with us.
Regardless of which real estate agency you choose, step one is most definitely getting an AZ real estate license. This process begins at a real estate school, not a real estate brokerage. (Let us know if you are interested in discounted tuition to some of the top real estate schools here locally.) Once you’ve completed the state required 90 hours of real estate school curriculum and passed the state and national real estate exams, you’re ready for hire by a brokerage.
ProStart Training for New Real Estate Agents
ProStart is just what the name suggests – a way to get a Professional Start to your real estate business. Our ProStart New Agent Training Program includes 2 weeks of classroom training split into staying legal skills and sales skills followed by Professional Mentoring.
Classroom Training
Marge Lindsay is one of Arizona’s top real estate trainers. Not only does she teach Continuing Education classes for the Phoenix Association of REALTORS® and the AZ School of Real Estate and Business, but she’s a Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) instructor as well. In between teaching existing agents how to improve their businesses, she teaches new agents how to effectively build a business from the ground up.
Lindsay is the the primary instructor for the classroom portion of ProStart. The main focus is generating business and completing transactions with strategies and techniques on avoiding legal trouble. After ProStart students complete the REALTOR® fundamentals, the real world training begins.
Mentors for New REALTORS®
New real estate agents exit the classroom and enter the arms (not literally, but close) of their professional mentors. Mentors are practicing REALTORS® that are hand selected to help guide and motivate new agents, while being a great resource for learning the nuances of this business.
So there you have it. How do you start a real estate career? Get a license and join the John Hall & Associates ProStart Training Program. Please don’t take my word for everything I’ve shared here – check out what new agents say about ProStart. If you know of anyone that might be able to benefit from having a structured start in residential real estate, have them give Diane Mork a call (602) 953-4043.
We're 'team' players.
So, I heard a rumor that some agents think John Hall & Associates does not encourage teams. Not true. I’m not sure how or where this got misstated, but I’d like to set the record straight. Of course we encourage teams. We have several very successful teams that have built their careers with us. Maybe the lines got crossed because we don’t build them for you? I’m not sure. Anyway, I asked Marge Lindsay (VP) what she thought about teams in real estate. Here is what she had to say…
Does a team concept work in today’s market? My response would be a resounding YES. Notice how many successful teams are thriving in what is referred to as a “bad” market, or a “declining” market, or even a “depressed” market.
If you have the right structure, the correct personalities, good education and training it could be wonderful for you too.
You certainly need a leader, but you can all support one another; encourage each other; trade preferences and provide incredible service to your clients as a result of this. When I say trade preferences, you may be better at the listing side of the business while another prefers working with buyers. You may not like open houses, but another team member does. You love geographic farming while another doesn’t. Collectively you can make a “whole” – again with superior service to your clients.
