Overview Do you want to make $100,000+ per year? In any marketplace, a real estate agent has the opportunity to create hundreds of thousands of dollars in income. An agent’s income is especially significant when viewed against the capital investment required by the business. Most agents need as little as $2,000 to start up their practices. Compare that to any other business and you’ll find that most involve sizeable investments and burdensome loans to buy equipment, lease space, create marketing pieces, develop business strategies, and hire employees — all to achieve what is usually a smaller net profit than what a real estate agent can achieve in the first few years. It’s almost too good to be true! This course will provide you with all the knowledge you need to become a successful real estate agent. This specialist course is about acquiring sales skills, marketing skills, time-management skills, people skills, and business skills. It’s about gaining more respect, achieving more recognition, making more money, and closing more sales. It’s a guide that helps you achieve the goals and dreams that you have for yourself and your family. You will be taught the “real stuff” that works and is laid out in a hands-on, step-by-step format. You can also find time-tested scripts in most sales-oriented chapters. The scripts are designed to move prospects and clients to do more business with you. (If you’re a junior member of the grammar police, you may find that some don’t perfectly align with your expectation of the English language. The objective of sales scripts, though, is not perfect sentence structure but rather maximum persuasion of the prospect or client.)
