If you’re looking to become a real estate agent, the first step is to take the BC real estate course in Vancouver, then pass the tests to get your initial real estate license. That buys you the legal ability to begin showing and selling property. However, that’s far from the end of the road. To become a real estate success, there are several more steps you have to follow.
At the Quick Pass Master realtor course in Vancouver, we want to see all our students succeed. Here’s what comes next.
What Happens After You Pass Your BC Real Estate Courses
1 – Start touring real estate brokerages
After getting your license, you will want to partner with an established agency or brokerage firm for a time. Trying to make it on your own is nearly impossible. It’s accepted practice that new realtors will put in time with an agency, learning more about the business from long-timers before they think about flying solo. Quick Pass Master have resources in this area to get you started.
So, start calling up agencies, see who’s interested in taking on new agents, and then take some tours to find one you like.
2 – Choosing large vs small agencies
This is a question you’ll have to decide for yourself: Do you pick the relative stability of a large agency, but risk becoming “just another face,” or do you partner with a smaller niche agency? The smaller agency will be less secure, but it potentially offers more opportunities for success and personal growth. The larger agency will give you steady work, but you’ll have to really fight to stand out.
3 – Finding a mentor
If at all possible, find a more experienced agent at your agency to work alongside. A lot of real estate is learned in the field, and you’ll grow as an agent much more quickly if you have a mentor helping you out. Of course, it needs to be someone who’ll enjoy working with you as well.
4 – Building your brand
Real estate is a funny business because you have to build your personal brand, even if you work for an agency. Make nice business cards. Set up a website. Get a business phone. Never pass up opportunities to put your personal brand name forward or do some networking that will get you noticed personally.
