what do you guys know about expert realty?
do you have to ahve experience befor you can work with them or can you go in as a newbie?
what has attracted me to them is the base salary they pay, and as a newbie with no money what so ever to get started i think it might be a good idea to get started with them.

Alpo-

You have already posted this topic. It would have been easier to just post another message in your original message.

Personally, I think a salaried agent is a horrible idea. Where is the motivation? If you need a salary, get a job as an assistant or a buyer's agent for a top producer.

thanx....

i guess the motivation is still there if you want to earn more.
if its about the motivation then its not such a bad i dea to get a salaried job as an agent. i would still be motivated if they paid 100k a yr if there is a possibility to make another 100k.
i think you have to like to do this job and help poeple do be successful. i think most of the motivation will come from wanting to help poeple as much as you can.

Typically, salaried positions require that you have previous sales experience. I checked their website & one of the positions states experience required.

I feel bad for new real estate agents. Nobody ever counsels them on the financial & time commitments it takes to make it in this business. You own your own business. You can't open any business without capital. If you don't have any funds to invest in your buiness to help it grow then I would reconsider jumping in right now. My new agents invest $200-$300 a month into growing their business for at least 3 months before they ever see a commission check. That's just the reality. I'm sorry to be so frank. I don't want to discourage you but it pains me to see new agents get into this business only to get out in 6 mths (or less) because they weren't aware of the realities of this profession.
