You Passed Your Real Estate Exam – Now What?

June 17, 2019 by Jessica Flores Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, we all started at the beginning, with a fresh new real estate license in our hands and a ton of things to learn in front of us…being licensed is one thing, but becoming an incredible agent takes time. Jessica Flores remembers her days at the beginning and in this post, she speaks to those that are just wrapping up their licensing process and entering the world of real estate for the first time. We’ll step aside and let her do the rest…

Congratualtions
 

Congratulations! You just passed your state and national real estate exam and you are ready to go sell houses. But where do you start?

Well, first off, you are now an independent contractor, but you are required to be sponsored by a broker. So how do you choose your brokerage?

This may seem like an easy answer, but in reality your choice can be the difference between making it or giving up.

There are many brokerages that you can choose to interview with. You should take the time to find out which is the right fit for you. Some questions you may want to ask include: Will training and education be offered? What are office fees, if any? What type of support system is included? What are the commission splits? The answers you receive can help you decide where you will thrive.

Once you have decided where you will hang your license it is time to get to work. This is the hardest part. What you learned in real estate school does not fully prepare you for what you will be doing. What you have seen on the cable TV network shows is even further from the reality of the amount of hard work, hours, and dedication that is needed to become a producing agent.
But don’t let that scare you. If it is something that you really want to achieve then it will require work and often anything of worth requires hard work.

Now, don’t fret, get to work. Go help people to sell their homes and help others make new memories by getting them into their dream home.

Agents – Are You Looking for a New Brokerage?

November 21, 2016 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Kimberly Howell Properties

It’s that time of year – Realtor dues are here, you’re looking back through the past year, setting goals, and looking forward to a new year of real estate. If you’re considering a new brokerage, maybe it’s time to make the move to Kimberly Howell Properties. There are plenty of reasons to consider us, but simply put (although we’re quite biased obviously), we are an incredible group of smart, talented, hard working people who put agent growth, training, and our clients above all else. Not to mention, we’re a whole lot of fun. With care and guidance from owner Kimberly Howell, Kimberly Howell Properties is committed to its agents and ensuring their success. We offer a full array of support to our agents including licensed staff who are on call day and night to assist you when needed. Whether you work commercial or residential or prefer apartment locating and rentals – we focus on your needs to grow as an agent and become successful. We won’t bog you down with fees and nickel and dime you until there’s nothing left (you know that feeling!). Our commission structure is fair and simple and you’ll find yourself earning more without all the complicated formulas and unexpected deductions that add up quickly. Training is available on a regular basis and we bring in experts on a regular basis to teach you real estate from the perspective of those we work with often – the title companies, inspectors, appraisers, lenders, underwriters, and many more. Once you see what we do and how we do it, we’re certain you’ll want to join our family.

We know the process of moving to a new brokerage can seem daunting, which is why we encourage you to sit down with us before you make your decisions and discuss the process and what we can do to assist in making it an easy transition.

Call John Alaniva to set up a meeting and discuss your future. John will answer questions, explain our system, take you on a tour of the offices, and introduce you to the staff and other agents. If you prefer to keep your potential move quiet, John can also set up a meeting offsite to preserve your privacy until the time is right (we understand the need to protect your current position until you make a decision). John can help you walk through it all – give him a call at (210) 912-6709 or send him an email at email hidden; JavaScript is required.
