New Real Estate Agents Close Two Transactions in Under Three Months

The way I see the benefit of the program for the mentors is that the best way to learn is to teach. I learned that myself when I was in school and find all the time this to be true. So for mentors out there, when you're out there actively teaching, you are learning. You are itching to get more information. You're itching to be on the forefront of information so that you can then share that with all of your mentees, plus the fact that you'll have a whole new group of fellow mentors to network and collaborate with. The potential really is limitless. So here's the benefit of the Strong Mentorship program for our mentees. The truth is, most mentees at most real estate companies walk around like a deer in headlights. There really is no direction. Folks don't know what to do or who to go to for what. Here with the Strong Mentorship Program, there is an actual curriculum. There is a standard to be held to, so there's a standard to be held to for the mentors and the mentees. There will be no deer in headlights here. Everybody will know exactly what they're doing. There will be a curriculum quarter by quarter, so you'll even know what you're doing ahead of time. Think of it as like a college syllabus, right? So you will always know what's going on. You will be engaged. You will know what's coming next. And you really couldn't even slip up if you wanted to. We're already starting to see a very positive effect there in the manner in which our mentees are engaging with their clients. Specifically, I'll even call out our Sherman Oaks office, where we have had a few of our mentees already close several pieces of business, including listing business with sellers, which is quite remarkable when you're brand new in the business. We had one individual that closed two transactions in under three months, which is phenomenal. I'll go back almost 20 years. I remember when I was brand new in real estate, I was told that the goal was to close your first two transactions within six months. And I don't mind telling you that it took me seven months. So to close two transactions in under three months, I mean, it's remarkable. What surprises me most about the Strong Mentorship Program in the most positive way possible is how much effort was put into the program behind the scenes before it was ever rolled out. Craig and his team put many, many months of work into this program before it was rolled out, so that it really would be the very best mentorship program in all of real estate. I will say that about a decade ago, I was a mentor myself, and this blows away anything that I've ever even done myself. So I couldn't be more proud of Craig and the entire team who helped him with the program. Mentorship. Education. Training, Internship. Apprenticeship. We all need it. Whatever you do for a living, if you're a police officer, even after months of the police academy, you're not going to get the keys to the car and just go and drive safely. No, you will ride with a training officer for several months. It would probably behoove most professionals in most fields to ride with a training officer. Right. That is your mentor. It is the best opportunity. I feel sorry for those that don't have a program like this and just start off on their own, because you're out there blind. You really are. So everybody benefits from a mentorship program. You'd benefit even more from a Strong Mentorship Program. Stephen Heravi, Managing Director, Los Angeles, California
