So you want to be in real estate?

A career in real estate provides flexibility and freedom to set your own pace. Income directly reflects your efforts with no limits on what astute, hard-working agents can earn. Successful people in real estate are goal-oriented, persevering, self-motivated, ambitious and people-oriented. Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty is currently searching for new professionals to assist us in servicing the many leads that we currently have available. More information is available at www.cbbullard.com/careers/.

Real Estate agents come from all walks of life, educational backgrounds and ages. All can achieve the education and licensing requirements necessary to begin a new career in real estate at our Advantage School of Real Estate.

As a real estate agent you will have independence and a choice of environment in which to work. You get to choose the company you place your license with. The number one concern in interviewing new Brokers and choosing a company to partner with is, what do they offer you as an agent? Do they have incoming leads? What does their training program consist of? What’s their market share? What’s their average sales price? Do they encourage their agents to promote themselves? A Broker’s purpose is to help new agents start successful careers and to help established agents move their careers to the next level. As a new agent, concern yourself less with the commission split, (100% of $0.00 is still $0.00), and more with specific programs geared to help you be successful.

Every agent started their career from this point and now is the time for you to begin your new career in real estate!
