Suggest You - Agent Recruiting in 2006: Not the Same Old Drill
Willie Sutton was a notorious bank robber of 1920's, 30's and 40's America. He was famous for the fact that even though he would inevitably get caught (then escape), he kept on robbing banks over and over again.At the end of his long career as a thief, he was asked why he kept robbing banks even though somewhere, somehow he was sure to get caught again. His answer was:"Because that's where the money is."We can learn from Willie. Yes, he was morally wrong, but he certainly understood his chosen profession.The question is, 'Do you understand your own Web business well enough to know (and go) where the money is?'

It's painful, but I'll say it; if a prospective new agent meets with you and they don't have technology skills, won't get technology education, or don't have the money to purchase Internet marketing, take a pass on them. The most recurring theme I've heard from experienced agents this year is, "the market is forcing me to retire." Not really, they were so busy writing contracts the last couple of years they felt they didn't need an Internet presence. Yes they do and did. The market passed them by. Over three quarters of buyers use the Internet in their home search according in The National Association of Realtors. This number hasn't been static either, there is a healthy upward growth in it each and every year.
Where do you find these new-age technology agents? Online! Is your brokerage web site easy to navigate, display a career link on the home page, and offer an updated career page?

Whenever you put a group of people into a work situation, there's potential for conflict. People bring to the job differing work habits, ethics, and modes of expression, and differences of opinion are bound to arise. Add to that issues of work allocation, opportunities for promotion, and other factors where employees are in a competitive situation with each other, and the likelihood of trouble is great.It's not possible to eliminate conflict from a workplace, but establishing clear guidelines for work responsibilities, promotion practices, and scheduling issues can go a long way toward creating a harmonious environment. Periodically revi

Shortly after I graduated from nursing school my husband and I got married. After a three day stay at a southern plantation style bed and breakfast in south Georgia, we flew to California where we were to spend the next week in Lake Tahoe. It was then that I discovered my husband is "Geographically Challenged." He booked us a flight into Los Angeles thinking it was somewhat close to Lake Tahoe. It's not. We ended up driving all day from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Sacramento then to Lake Tahoe. The trip was draining, but beautiful.After arriving in Los Angeles we rented a car and traveled up Pacific Coast Highway toward San Francisco

How many times have you had an employee quit and then immediately feel desperate to fill the slot that was just vacated? Unfortunately, it's an all too common occurrence in today's workplace. There are a number of things you can do to help you get through the trying times while hiring a replacement but there is
The cost of supporting an agent desk is now over $20,000. That's a big investment from you for a new agent. The problem is that turnover may average over 50% according to The National Association of Realtors(R) Retaining Top Personal Toolkit. Why are so many people, both managing brokers and agents spinning their wheels? The warm body syndrome, popular in the last few years in agent recruiting. The theory is the more warm bodies you have, the more commission income, the problem is you never gain the income because half of new agents leave every year. It's really a revolving door, and only the business card printers are making any money.
To slow down your new agent revolving door, you must make a commitment to educating new agents for at least 2 years. Each week you need to have a new agent class for a minimum of one hour, we call it; Agent 101. At the end of the year you have a graduation ceremony and luncheon. The second year is the same weekly meeting but called Next Level. Here you continue to support and grow your second year agents. What I hear time and again for new agents is that their is no structured path for them the first years in the business. Hopefully the days are gone where a managing broker thought sink or swim with newbies. The statistics show where that mindset leads.
Ask new agents that you're interviewing if they can make the 2 year weekly class commitment for training in your office. If they can't commit, why should you? Both the Agent 101 and Next Level are filled with ways to manage time, figure out to qualify buyers (and not for mortgages), deal with difficult sellers, design and implement bo
