Launching Right in Real Estate

Did you feel like you were flying by the seat of your pants when you went into real estate? What do you wish you’d known before you committed?

What do you wish you had known before committing to real estate as a career?

After interviewing dozens of would-be agents, I had compiled a stack of paper that I handed out to interviewees. I was trying to educate them so they could make a good career decision. One day, one of my recent recruits said, “You should put that in a book.” So, I did. Now, I’m creating a new edition of the book. I’ve renamed the book

Launching Right in Real Estate: What They Won’t Teach You in Pre-License School.

What should be in the book?

What’s most important for that would-be agent to know prior to committing to a career in real estate?

What mistakes do would-be agents make in choosing companies? If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently?

Saving You Time and Effort

From all those interviews, I found I wasn’t really interviewing. I was educating. What could I include in the book that would save you interview time, and prepare you for an interview?

What misconceptions do would-be agents bring into the business that cause them to start slowly or fail?

Blast-Off for Launching Right

I’m planning on having the edits done by Dec. 1, so the eBook will be available a few weeks after that. Please add your experience and expertise so I know the contents will be useful to real estate managers.

Just leave me a comment and contribute to our industry. Thank you!

Did you learn what you needed to know before you leaped into the business? If not, what do you wish you’d known?

Under a year in #real estate sales: What do you wish you’d known?

You’re excited. You’re ready. You want to sell real estate–for a number of reasons. You’ve read the books on how to become gazillionaire real estate agent. All good. After we start selling, however, we find that there’s more to the story than getting a license and waiting for that multi-million dollar career to appear.

I’m updating and publishing a new edition of my eBook, Launching Right in Real Estate: What They Won’t Teach You in Pre License School. (available by December. Email me at carla@carlacross.com or give me a reply here with your name and email address and I’ll reserve a book for you: $24.95).

In the book, I give plenty of advice and information to those thinking about a career in real estate to save the heartache many agents experience through lack of information or wrong decisions.

Having interviewed hundreds of prospective real estate agents, I found the many areas where they need information–and where they get misinformation. I also quote successful agents on #how to succeed fast in a real estate career. I address #how much money can you make–and when, #how to be successful selling real estate fast #how to get a real estate license, and #how to choose the right office for you.

What Do You Think?

In this edition, I want to include quotes from agents under a year in the business on what they wish they had known prior to making the decision to

sell real estate
join a particular company
start a team
take specific advice that they found out was bad for them

Finding Your Way Through The Interview Process

Unfortunately, in the #real estate interview process, most prospective new agents aren’t informed or questioned. They’re just sold. Were you ‘sold’ but not questioned or informed? What would you do differently during the interview process?

(By the way, my book has the #five most important questions to ask in the interview, and the 76 areas you should choose from and ask questions about to assure you’re getting the full story–not just a sales pitch.)

Provide That Hard-Earned Advice

Would you help me by replying with your advice to prospective real estate agents? If I choose to quote you in the book, I’ll provide you a complimentary copy, of course.

Thank you for raising the standards of our real estate industry.
