I'm going to make this one short. So many people in my real estate sales associate class talked about the "advantages" of working for a local broker. Now I'm not going to make this an article about what's better. What I am going to do is simply state that being apart of a major player, definitely has its advantages!
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage NRT is an amazing organization. I know I'm new to being a real estate agent, but I'm not new to real estate. So having said that, here's my list of why I think Coldwell Banker is awesome.
First, the contacts I've been able to make in just a few months is incredible. The network of agents and contacts is overwhelming. The amount of resources available for me is simply astounding. When you are a part of a national company that spends in excess of 5 million dollars...just for search engine rankings...for just one major website, you're in pretty good hands.
From the national website, a user can navigate to my local office in under 5 clicks. From www.realtor.com a user can see our listings and navigate to our local site within about 5 clicks. All this and I haven't even gotten to the part where I, as an agent, get a website for free.
Now I know all this doesn't matter much, because for any agent to be successful, it boils down to the individual. But wait, we receive incredible training at our corporate facility, with all the latest technology and the presenters are nothing short of people who command a room by the way the speak and present themselves and the information. Clearly, there are no slouches when it comes to this. The professionalism is unbelievable.
So in closing, I'm feeling very good about my decision to join Coldwell Banker. I look forward to doing business with you!
