Best "big/well known" agency to work for?

Hi everyone!

As stated in another post, I just got my real estate license and started with a small boutique company a few days ago. However I haven't "hung my license" with the broker yet. I think he's testing me to see if I'm really serious and want to be in this business. Which I AM, however I think I might actually need to be in a paid position while I learn the business (which he can't offer me right now). 

So I'm looking around my area, sending general inquiry emails out to some company's to see if anyone needs an assistant or is hiring paid positions.

And I was just wondering, if you had to recommend me start with only ONE big name agency, which one would it be and why? Ideally I'd find an assistant position with this company and after a year or so, decide to start training as an agent. I would like a company that has a strong focus and structure on training, and even a mentorship program where I'd follow and be under the direct supervision of a high volume agent. Anyone have any ideas for me? :) Thanks!

Hey Sarah,

If your interest is in a company that has a strong focus and structure on training in my experience Keller Williams is one of the best out there, they have some great courses and programs for anyone that is starting from how to lead generate to how to do a buyer/seller presentation as well. I am sure you have a KW where you are in California you should check them out.

Good luck :)

    Hi @Account Closed Keller Williams has a strong training focus.  This year Training Magazine named KW the #1 training organization in the world.  Below are a few links you might want to look at about KW.

     My wife and I are with Keller Williams in Allen, Texas. We have about 170 agents. It is a great environment for learning and getting to know more experienced agents. From what you say you might want to ask about becoming part of a team.

    Good luck!
