Are you considering starting or continuing your real estate career in the Atlanta real estate market? If so, you definitely need to find out more about what has made Keller Williams Realty the #1 real estate company in the Atlanta metro area in less than 20 years. The Keller Williams Realty unique agent-centric business model was designed around the idea of treating our agents like partners. While other traditional real estate companies value their company’s brand as their greatest asset, and spend most of their resources marketing their brand to the consumers, Keller Williams realty views its agents as its greatest asset, and instead of spending money marketing our brand, we invest our resources into training, education, support and technology for our Atlanta real estate agents.
When evaluating which Atlanta real estate company is the best fit for your real estate career, it is critical to consider a couple of very important questions:
1. Are you looking for a real estate job in Atlanta or do you want to run your own successful Atlanta real estate business? There is no right or wrong answer to this question, but understanding the difference will be helpful in determining which real estate company might be best place for your real estate career in Atlanta right now. The biggest difference between a job in real estate and running a real estate business, is whether or not as an Atlanta real estate agent, you want to be responsible for generating your own real estate business or dependent on your company or another Atlanta real estate agent for business. The real estate agents in Atlanta that take ownership of their own lead generation, can control and predict their real estate business versus having it dictated to them. At Keller Williams Realty, we treat our agents like business owners. It is their job to generate their own real estate business, and it is our job, to train, educate and support them, so they can do more business, NET more money…and have a higher level of quality of life. Yes…a job in the Atlanta real estate industry will be the path of least resistance…but remember, sometimes the cheapest decisions we make have the most expensive consequences!
2. Are you going to be ‘full-time’ or ‘part-time’ real estate agent in Atlanta? This is actually a trick question. A real estate career is not a traditional career in which you ‘clock-in’ and ‘clock-out’. In the ever-changing and shifting Atlanta real estate market, either you have a full-time mentality or you will not be successful. One of the great assets and leverage tools for a newly licensed agent in Atlanta, is technology. There is no question that more and more Atlanta real estate customers are going to the internet to find their real estate agent. Not only are tools like social media and blogging free, they are the best way for an Atlanta real estate agent to generate business 24 hours a day! The biggest advantage of starting your Atlanta real estate career at Keller Williams Realty, is the ability to participate in all of the amazing training, education and support we offer. If you don’t have the flexibility in your schedule to participate in these activities, you might not fully experience the KW agent model the way it was designed to be delivered.
3. Are you more concerned about ‘how much does it cost?’ and ‘what are the splits?’ instead of ‘how much will I NET?’ The good news, is that at Keller Williams Realty, our fees are very low(typically <$100/month) and our commission structure is the best in the Atlanta real estate industry! With that said, who cares how cheap it costs and how high your commission splits are, if you don’t get any training and support and no one is teaching you how to build a successful Atlanta real estate business? Remember, 100% of $0…is still $0!
