"Are successful Realtors Recruited or Trained “?

As a new Regional Director for RealEstateAuction.com, I have expended a

limited amount of time searching for members to join our organization

covering three States.  Several interesting factors are appearing to become

common among those that have and have not elected to come in on the ground

floor of this business model for marketing real estate.

My responsibility is to establish real estate action teams across three

States: Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada.  Each State will have 4-7 Teams

consisting of one team leader and 4-6 project managers.  Each of these teams

will have an annual goal of 3 - 6 million in closed volume. This volume will

consist of those closed sales resulting from traditional and auction

processes of selling real estate.  Success will require team work,

procedures, processes and a strong commitment to customer service.  All of

this can be accomplished in a fun and profitable environment.  It has a real

pleasure to be involved interviewing Realtors and non-Realtors.  

Several of our new Team Leaders had a recent background in a Property

Management organization but had an active real estate license.  Another new

Team Leader was a very successful associate Real Estate Broker working in a

leading organization.  He was one of three working in a leading organization.  

He was one of the highest producer and probably clearing over $ 200K per year.  He walked away because he could see the vision and future of real estate.  He said, if you are so excited at your age, I better pay attention.  The truth is I will learn much and truly enjoy his personality and work ethic.  Our other Team Leaders come in from the medical and legal backgrounds.  Our core is strong and solid. They all realize this business model is a work in progress and it will take time

and effort to mature.
