What do Agents Look for in Choosing a Real Estate Company?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Fowler Realty
Our company Fowler Realty is thinking about taking on new agents for the first time.
What do agents look for in choosing a real estate company?
  Here is a list of items that we think are important.
1.  Broker Support
2.  Commercial Building / Agent Desk
3.  Business marketing (newspapers, tv, ect...)
4.  Company pays for agents E & O Insurance
5.  Commission Splits
6.  Company Website / Personal Agent Website
7.  Community knowledge of Company
Any other comments or ideas?

I think broker support is key for someone new in the business. As a new agent you need a broker that will support & guide you in the right direction.

I think training is important.  Tell them how you will train them in the interview, thats all I cared about when I was looking for a position as an LO, and I found the perfect company (but that might what be what you consider broker support).

Great information.  Broker support is key.  Then good splits.
