How do you choose a company to work for once you've finished real estate school? Today, we want to discuss the questions students ask us all the time!

When you're going into the process of selecting a company to work with, you need to prepare to interview multiple companies; you need to see what's going on in the marketplace. Have questions set to ask at least five different companies during the interviews. This kind of proactive behavior is exactly what brokers are looking for in a great agent!


One of the biggest mistakes people make is they go in wondering what their commission is going to be without thinking about anything else. If you don't have any actual training in real estate sales business, a 100% commission is 100% of nothing! You need to learn the business and know the industry in and out. Once you get the education to get a license, you need to learn to get the education of how to use that license!

To do this, one of the best questions you can ask a broker is, "What type of educational opportunities will I have with your company?" Agents who end up doing the best are the ones who join a team with an excellent training program. Get a printout of what they're training so you know exactly what to expect!

If you have any questions about the job finding process, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to give you a hand!
