Why do new real estate career professionals fail?

Have you ever wondered why there are constant career opportunity advertisements running in various mediums online and offline for real estate sales?  Or, why every real estate brokerage firm is always looking to hire a new real estate salesperson?  Simply put, there is a very high failure rate for new career real estate agents.  So much so, even the Winnipeg Realtors Association has a mandatory three day training program to help new real estate agents in their career because our own industry acknowledges the fact that most new Realtors do not get the training they were promised before they became licensed.

The sobering fact is eight out of ten people fail within their first two years when they become a new real estate agent.  I know I am one of the lucky survivors when I made my decision to become a real estate agent twenty-five years ago.  That being said, selling real estate is the greatest career in the world.  Why then is there such a high failure rate?  Often training and mentoring is promised, but not delivered once you become licensed.  This is one of the reasons why Royal Lepage's reputation within the industry is recognized as an ethical real estate company along with the real estate agents associated in the Royal Lepage brand.  At Royal Lepage we invest our systems and career knowledge when training our new real estate agents.  Perhaps this is why we have the lowest failure rate for a new real estate career professional?

Royal Lepage is about to celebrate our one hundred year anniversary and our culture knows training a real estate professional is paramount to their success.  Our history has taught our organization and our professional associates how important training really is to not only succeed, but to give you the greatest opportunity to achieve your personal goals when you decide to enter a new career in real estate.

If you are considering a career to sell real estate in Winnipeg, be wary of false promises on training and mentoring you in your new real estate career.  Take your time and complete your due-diligence when interviewing the various real estate brokers.  Don't be afraid to ask a broker to actually see their training program?  What is the cost to have you trained?  Is there a time commitment to the broker office in a contract for you to be trained?  What are all the terms for you to be trained?  How long is the actual training program?  Who will train you?  Remember, your career success will hinge on knowing the answers to these questions.

You owe it to yourself to insure you start your new real estate career with the greatest odds in your favor to be successful.  We encourage you to call one of the Royal Lepage offices in Winnipeg; we will gladly share our systems with you and show you how you will achieve your real estate career goals.  Our company motto is, "helping you is what we do", for a valid reason.

How to become a licensed real estate agent in Winnipeg.

Once you've made the decision to enter a career in real estate, what do you do? What should you do? Both of these questions are important as you move forward in your pursuit to become a licensed real estate agent in Winnipeg.

What to do is simple enough, really. In order for you to obtain a real estate license, you must complete the Provincial course requirements. The real estate course is outlined in three phases's where you pay as you go from one section and onto the next.

With each phase, you must complete and hand-in assignments at the Manitoba Real Estate Association office where at that time an exam date would be confirmed with you. There is a test with each phase that you have enrolled in, and a seventy percent mark is the minimum needed to pass your exam before you continue with the next phase.

To find out the current cost of each mandatory phase, call the Manitoba Real Estate Association office at 1-204-772-0405. This is also where you can purchase and obtain all the necessary course material for you to become a licensed real estate agent in Winnipeg. The entire course is home study.

Now, what you should do can make a world of difference as you begin your journey towards your new real estate career.

I recommend you interview the range of real estate companies that you are interested in and investigate what services are available to help you in your new career decision. Discover precisely what kind of training is available? Is it online? Is there off line training? Or, is there a combination of both? Is there a mentoring program? Get explicit details on these serious questions for your new real estate career.

Learn what real estate brand name would best represent you and the service you expect to provide your future customers. There is much to consider when you stop and think about it, isn't there? Once you have completed your interview process, you should select the real estate office that is the best fit for your new real estate career. Doing this process will help you have a better start in your new career.

New Real Estate Career.

The question I have been asked most often over the years is "why do people fail in their new real estate career?"

The sad reality is most new real estate professionals do not receive proper career training. Sure, the promise is made that you will be trained and programs are available to help you achieve your personal goals in real estate. And, that is true to some degree. In Winnipeg when you become a licensed real estate agent there is a mandatory three day training program for all newly licensed professionals. With technology today, the online resources to self-train are endless for all new and experienced real estate agents.

The truth is, it isn't enough for your new career. When you make the decision that you want to enter a new career, real estate sales, please do your homework. Find out exactly what training systems are available for you when you are doing your interviews with real estate Brokers. Ask other real estate professionals that you may know personally about the companies you are considering for your new career and what kind of training may be offered to help you in your new career. Making the right career choice at the start could make the difference between failure and success.
