Typical agents starting their real estate careers with RE/MAX:

• A RE/MAX Broker/Owner sees potential in an individual who has achieved sales or other success in another profession.

• A RE/MAX office brings in an enthusiastic new licensee who has the motivation, commitment and desire to succeed in real estate sales.

• An existing RE/MAX agent who has his or her own sales team, or is developing such a team, adds a newly licensed agent to the team to serve as an assistant or to serve as a buyer or listing specialist. The team leader often sees benefit in being able to train the new licensee in the specific marketing, sales and service strategies of the team.

• An existing RE/MAX agent brings in a newly licensed spouse, child or other relative to help with the business, or to be groomed to ultimately run the business.

• Some agents or agent teams bring in unlicensed assistants who are new to the business. In most states, unlicensed assistants are strictly prohibited from performing a number of duties connected to a real estate transaction. Sometimes, these unlicensed assistants pursue licensing so they can serve the team as a licensed assistant or buyer or listing specialist. Ultimately such individuals might transition into a role as an independent agent within the same brokerage.

The first step: Get a License

In order to become a Realtor you must first obtain a real estate license.  This is a list of web-sites for each province where you can find all the information you require on licensing.  Licensing requirements involve coursework and passing a provincial test. You will also take post-licensing coursework after you earn your license; and most provinces require continuing education throughout your career to keep your license active.

Unlimited rewards

If you're looking for a career that enables you to control your workday and offers a direct correlation between your effort and reward - with unlimited potential on the reward side - real estate sales might be a good fit. It's not easy. But when you surround yourself with other serious professionals you realize an immediate benefit - because you see first-hand the habits and strategies that work and you're motivated to emulate the success you're witnessing. That's a core of the RE/MAX Concept. Add in all the other RE/MAX advantages, and you can see that for some, RE/MAX isn't just where you want to be at the peak of your real estate career, it's also where you want to be at the start.

Why RE/MAX?

Driving the growth is the RE/MAX Concept, created by top-producing real estate agents - for top-producing real estate agents. RE/MAX links a fair and equitable brokerage management system with a powerful brand, extensive support services - and respect for entrepreneurial spirit. The result: a formula for agent success unmatched in the industry.

Home of the Best Agentssm

Most agents join RE/MAX after already achieving some level of success in real estate sales. But RE/MAX also attracts agents who are just starting their real estate careers.  This usually occurs under one of the following scenarios.

The RE/MAX Collection

The RE/MAX Collection enables Affiliates to use a distinct yard sign and other marketing materials when selling high-end listings.

Affiliates also are encouraged to earn the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation through The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (the course leading to the designation is presented on the RE/MAX Satellite Network and at the RE/MAX International Convention). RE/MAX has the industry's largest contingent of CLHMS designees.

To qualify as a RE/MAX Collection Property, a listing must meet or exceed a minimum standard of three times the average price in the local MLS.

"100 Days to Greatness": Real estate boot camp

Regardless of the reason that a newly licensed agent joins a RE/MAX brokerage, some brokerages encourage, or even require, the new agent to complete the "100 Days to Greatness - RE/MAX Edition" program via the RE/MAX Satellite Network. This proven program is also used by agents coming from other brokerages who want to follow a specific strategy to ensure their performance is of RE/MAX caliber. Even some existing RE/MAX agents go through the program to refocus their efforts on growing their business.

Designed for RE/MAX, 100 Days to Greatness is an intensive training program that taps the resources of one of the most successful and highly regarded coaches in the industry: Brian Buffini. No travel is required.

A Testimonial from Scott Yaworski

Nancy, Steve, and Wayne,

As you know, I joined the Crest Westside office just a couple months ago.  The last of my inaugural training (Buffini and managing brokers' sessions) ended last week, so I want to take this opportunity to thank the three of you.  Your dedication of time and provision of worthwhile information is especially appreciated given that many in this industry are concerned with only themselves.  I was referred to this office by somebody associated with a different brokerage because he knew the training here would be second to none and that it would give me the greatest chance of early success.  I don't think that he was wrong.

So, again, thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Scott Yaworski | RE/MAX Crest Realty (Westside)
