Agents Please Get Trained

By
Real Estate Agent with AVALAR Pro Realty

I know that in this market everything shining is GOLD. It's not IN REAL ESTATE TRAINING IS EVERYTHING. When I first got in the business I was offered MUCH HIGHER COMMISSIONS with smaller companies that didn't offer training. The MAJOR problem is.... You can represent your clients without proper training. A home is the single most important transaction a person will make ever why trust it to someone that is not trained. Yes in this business we can learn something everyday. Why learn at someone else expense. I strongly disagree with NEW agent starting with companies just for the HIGHER commission.It is not MY job to train you assisting you is wonderful. I love to help !!!!!!!

Hi Michelle,  I suspect the folks reading your post here are pretty much the better trained agents.  The trick will be to get to those who need the training and don't realize it !

I couldn't agree more. There are over 100 ways to get sued on a transaction and I bet many agents only know a few.

Good post!

I love to help but I hate to mentor - especially when an agent is not a take chage person and wans me to hold their hand. Nobody held my hand. Changing careers is a scary thing but this is not a business to be in if you lack confidence.
