Broker-Owners: Are Your Agents Trained Properly?

It is a good question to ponder,  as my friend Michael Jacobs may say.   The answer is likely different with each brokerage, and with each agent.   On some occasions, poorly trained agents take a few conversations to flush out.  With a seasonal pro, it is typically obvious from the onset.  

I have had some jaw-dropping experiences in the last few weeks / months with the following:

1.  Getting a return courtesy call back from another agent.  As in none.

2.  Having agents at an open house discuss specific seller commissions on their listings.

3.  Poorly prepared / assumed  /  incorrect contracts which were not signable by my seller client.

4.  Agents "show me their clients hand".   Maybe my least favorite.

5.  Obviously unprepared agents--too many examples to cite.

My point of this post is simple--  certain broker allocated training classes are integral to the professionalism of our industry.

I love what I do, and I respect our industry.  We can do better.

Hello Michael - thank you for the mention.  To the point of your post, a life in real estate and everyday life.  And they show us countless things are ponder-worthy that prompt some head-scratching times.   

Time travel seems to offer some good possibilities for wondering about woulda - coulda - shoulda.    Beyond that . . .  well, that's another story.  Happy Sunday.

Michael Elliott unfortunately I don't think most Brokerages train their Agents/Realtors.

Michael, we've have had to deal with some agents that were not trained properly. Such as the one that handed her business card to OUR buyer!

Good morning, Michael... I'm very fortunate to be associated with a brokerage where there is constant training... at least twice a week.

Hi Michael- It's sad when agents who could develop into great agents arent' trained or mentored properly.
