Any idea which company is more applealing. NW Prudential or Centurty 21... for a new real estate agent. How about floor time. Is it a raw deal when you have to do floor time? Thanks

1. I'll be honest, when I was a new agent, I didn't ask these questions...mainly because I had researched the profession thoroughly and knew what I was getting into before I started. Floor time is not a raw deal...agents FIGHT to do floor time. How do you plan to get business? Advertising is extremely expensive...and how many people do you know who is willing to buy or list a home...RIGHT NOW. Go talk to them, plus Realtors that don't work for them and find out about their fees and commission structure. Who has the most listings in your area....drive around...whose signs do you see the most of?
2. Can't answer for C-21, but Prudential here in Houston, TX was a good start for me because of their training and support. That's key for any new agent searching for a broker in their local area...training, support and compensation. Floor time is only a great source provided the office has a strong market share for that local area. An office has to have a multitude of listings for the phone to ring. So make that a primary question when shopping brokers if floor time is a concern for you. Personally, I've received some excellent clients through floor time but then I've been doing this for 15 years. Be patient and know that many of those who call in are looking for rental property. Always view such prospects as future buyers provided you keep in contact with them during their rental period. Get a system in place, work it and in the end you'll profit from your efforts. Best of luck!
