Underestimate Keller Williams at your own risk by Brad Inman
I chose Keller Williams because if its training and the number of successful agents that came from KW. Keller Williams continues to impress me. The training is top notch and I can always count on other agents in my office to help me through something I may not have a firm understanding. I would never consider another agency.
I made it through the first year!!!!
I am happy to announce that I made it though my first year of real estate. I plan on celebrating by reinvesting into my business. It’s been full of experiences, both great and not so great.
I’ve learned so much in my first year and have met so many people in my life that makes this transition worth it.
First of all, I am one of the 30% that made it through. I’ve sold more than the first year average (I sold 9 homes this year and leased and additional 2, average new agent sells 3). I attest a lot of that to my stubbornness, my training, and my support system.
I’ve met some of the most awesome people: my clients. I’ve helped retirees, empty nesters, move ups, relocations, first time homebuyers, single moms, estates, and newlyweds, each with their own stories. I loved learning more about their lives and goals. I enjoyed helping them every step of the way, through their frustrations, stress and doubts. In each way they have made me a better person, teaching me valuable skills along the way.
I was fortunate to have the very best training at Keller Williams. Each morning I showed up for class, took notes, applied what I learned and got organized. Looking back, the Success Academy gave me a great foundation to build my business on. I was able to collaborate with other new agents and formulate a best practice approach to getting my name out there. It also helped me build my confidence and provided me with useful tools.
I also wouldn’t be here without the support of my family, friends, and team leader. My husband was and continues to be my rock. My boys are always on the lookout for a home for sale and don’t complain if I put them to work to mail postcards. My parents have been there every step of the way, covering for me when I needed to run out for a buyer. The rest of my family have supported me without calling me out that I was crazy for quitting a well paying job with two growing boys and taking a huge risk. I’ve met some great friends along the way whom I can share my successes and frustrations, and have bonded with. My team leader has been there for me throughout it all. Provided me with Kleenex and advice when needed, and above all kicked my fears out of my head.
I have aggressive goals for my next year and have every intent to blow them out of the water. I’ve enjoyed every step of the way and look forward to the next one, two, five years and beyond in this crazy business.
Cheers to all those who are thinking of a career in real estate. For all of the others, “How can I help you or someone you know buy, sell or invest in Real Estate?”
