Considering a Career in Real Estate?

• There is great opportunity for the NEW associate!

• Real estate is an exciting, dynamic, people-oriented profession encompassing a multitude of disciplines — sales, marketing, psychology, law, finance, appraisals, and inspections--to name a few.

• The industry is in the midst of great change. Change brings unbridled opportunity to new entrants!

• The Internet, the Cloud and mobile technologies are leading the transformation of business.

• Success in real estate is easier when you possess:

1.) Great people skills — energy, intelligence, and heart!

2.) The ability to embrace change, adapt to new concepts and technologies and enjoy continuous learning.

3.) Relationship building skills that are consumer-centric and create value.

4.) The willingness to work long, yet rewarding hours to get people where they want to go!!

5.) Trust, high ethics and professionalism.

Why is Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors looking for NEW real estate

agents?

• FACT: The National Association of Realtors® predicts that 50% of the agents, who are practicing real estate today, will leave the business over the next 5-10 years.

• Why? The answer is a multifaceted one. A few reasons are:

1. Technology continues to accelerate. Agents that use technology to increase customer service and productivity will continue to “edge out” agents who don’t get it.

2. Increased access to real estate information has armed consumers with more knowledge and raised their expectations for the services provided by real estate agents. Many Realtors find it difficult to make the transition to a “trusted advisor and consultant” with a multi-channel marketing role.

3. The new consumer is independent, techno-literate and socially networked. Consumers have control of the service quality perception. Consumers want a relationship first. Many Realtors® find this the most difficult leap having come from 2 decades of an agent-centric business environment.

Typical Day in the Real Estate BusinessFull-Time or Referral Agent?

One of the lures of the real estate business is that there is a lot of flexibility in your schedule and activities.

There are literally dozens of activities that, as an agent, you can take part in during your business week, such as the following:

– Previewing your office’s new listings on your office tour; - increase product knowledge– Previewing properties listed by other agencies; - expand product knowledge– Completing paperwork on transactions; - attention to details– Following up with prospects; - developing and solidifying relationships– Setting showing appointments; - organizational skills– Attending office meetings; - grow your knowledge of the industry– Finding potential customers/clients; - prospecting– Giving listing proposals; presentation, sales and negotiation skills– Answering calls at the office on schedule assigned by office, or holding homes’ open.

There are certain critical activities agents must perform to get paid, such as prospecting to find buyers and sellers, listing saleable properties and selling properties.

Agents who create careers quickly do many business-producing activities. They do enough support activities [paperwork,etc.] to maintain their business production.

Can I work part-time in real estate while I transition from my existing job? It is very rare that one succeeds in real estate while holding another job. As a real estate agent, you work as a fiduciary for your client – holding their interests above your own. Being employed in another capacity restricts your ability to serve your clients with a 100% commitment.

The real estate business is dynamic and changes daily. The availability of properties change,

interest rates fluctuate and clients you work with want you available on their time schedule. It is imperative that you are available to communicate with the office, the marketplace and your customers and clients on a regular basis.

If going into real estate full-time is not an option right now, we offer a compelling option!

Get your real estate license and join our referral club. In this way, you save the ongoing expenses of being in real estate and make good money referring buyers and sellers you know to a full-time licensed agent. When the time is right to jump in full-time, we can simply transfer your license from referral to full-time. Talk to one of our managers about the possibilities!

At Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors®, we believe new agents are vital to our continued growth and profitability, and we are committed to their success through training, support and innovative tools.

There is a huge opportunity for new associates. We welcome new agents that want to build a successful career.

10 Characteristics of the Successful Salesperson

Do You Think You Have What It Takes?

1. Sociability – A natural tendency to gain satisfaction by associating with other people.

2. Assertiveness – A natural tendency to take initiative in order to influence or control some aspect of the environment.

3. Achievement – The consistent need an individual feels for the achievement of rewards such as high performance, income, and status. People with a strong success drive will accept challenges and endure hardships in order to succeed.

4. Dependability – People with high dependability tend to be accurate, thorough, detail-oriented, conscientious and on time.

5. Emotional resilience – The amount of psychological energy and mental endurance an individual has under normal conditions.

6. Financial Stability – The pressure of unpaid bills can be unnerving to a new salesperson. We find that adequate savings of at least four months of living expenses enables a new salesperson to concentrate on their clients best interest and not on the commission.

7. Support – This is perhaps the most important ingredient. The confidence, support, trust and understanding of family and friends is the most valuable asset to the new salesperson. A clear understanding of the hours and demands of the business by all parties is helpful.

8. Enthusiasm! The public rates this as one of the top three most important characteristics in choosing a real estate agent.

9. Sales Ability:• Building rapport and acquiring information;• Listening and Comprehension skills;• Managing the sales process;• Closing Skills.

10. Techno-literate – Most consumers expect agents to work with efficient and high-tech tools and social media.

3. Examination Information License examinations are administered by PSI, a testing service company. Once your

application has been received, processed and accepted, you will receive notification that you may obtain a copy of the Candidate Information Brochure (CIB) to register for the exam. The CIB will provide instructions on how to make reservations to take the examination and contains study material and instructions about licensing. A copy of the CIB can be downloaded from the PSI web site found at: http://tinyurl.com/25zbsc7

Please DO NOT attempt to register for the exam without first receiving notification from TREC.

The examination must be passed within six months from the date the application is filed with the commission office.

4. Investigation May be Needed The filing of an application authorizes an investigation of the applicant's background.

Information revealed in an investigation may be cause for disapproval of an application even though other requirements for a license are met. If an investigation is necessary, it may not be conducted until the applicant has passed the examination.

5. Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Repayment History is investigated. State law prohibits the renewal of a license if a licensee has defaulted on a

student loan guaranteed by TGTM unless the licensee has entered into a repayment agreement with TG. YOU SHOULD CONTACT TG BEFORE FILING THIS APPLICATION if you have defaulted on a student loan. An application or renewal may be rejected if this agency has received information from TGSLC that the applicant has defaulted on a student loan. The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation can be reached at: Telephone: (800) 252-9743 (in Austin, call 219-5700)

6. Obtain Sponsorship• Before you can practice as a licensed salesperson you must arrange for a Texas real

estate broker holding an active license to sponsor you as a salesperson. Applicants and inactive salespersons are not authorized to act as real estate agents.

• While you are not required to have a sponsoring broker to file an application for a license, a Salesperson Sponsorship Form is included with the application materials. If you wish, you may file the sponsorship request along with the application. Once all licensing requirements have been satisfied, TREC will send an active salesperson license to the broker, and you may act for the broker on receipt of the license.

• You may also file the application and arrange for sponsorship after TREC notifies you that you have been issued an inactive license. Once a broker holding an active license has mailed a request to TREC to act as your sponsor, you may begin to act for the broker as a salesperson.

• A career in real estate will afford you freedom and flexibility not commonly found in most nine-to-five careers. This independence certainly has its rewards in terms of job satisfaction and the opportunity for monetary success.

• You are rewarded in direct proportion to your efforts, and there is no limit to the amount you can earn. Real estate is a profession that everyone talks about. A high percentage of families’ net worth is tied to the property they own, and most purchase property through the help of a real estate agent.

• To be involved in this process is very challenging and rewarding.

In most jobs, you are paid

What the job is worth.

In real estate, you are paid what you are worth.

Best wishes for a most successful real estate career….

If you are ready to go, take the next step.

There has never been a better time to enter the real estate industry.
