Hi, I have obtained my RES cert last March, 2014. Can I check which agencies I should go for if I would like to do weekends and weeknights only for a start? I heard some agencies focus on TOP condo showflat sales, and others with rentals etc. Also there are some with teams and groups to help each other? Thank You Gurus!

Hi Kenneth,

In a typical good sized agency, there will be a whole range of activities available from local projects, international projects, resale market as well as rental. It is important for you to decide which segment of the market would you like to start out in and waste no time in getting started. You may wish to speak to some team leaders or managers to see what are the supporting platforms or systems available to get you started. There is no doubt that having products to sell is important, but you will also need to have a platform and skills to sell. I have come across salespersons who jumped immediately into project sales and later came out of it because they have no avenue (clients or leads) to close therefore looking for alternatives, while others who never looked back since they joined.

If you are keen to explore how my modest team can be leveraged upon to kickstart your alternate career, please get in touch with me soon for discussion.

Hi Kenneth,

For a new real estate salesperson, finding the right mentor for yourself and the right team can go a long way towards increasing your chances of getting rewarded in this industry.

Go ahead to have a face to face talk with different leaders and peers from across the agencies. Branding is an important consideration, the agency you join may help during the initial phase; eventually, your own personal branding will be the reason why clients come to you for assistance with their real estate matters.

Good luck!

Hi Kenneth,
I realize that its always important to understand yourself first.
1. what are your strengths
2. what network do you have
3. what are you weak in
4. what support is there to help me succeed
5. what training is there to help me succeed

Your queries about TOP projects, New launches, commercial industrial, high end properties, luxury properties etc, doesn't mean you have to do all, but as a newbie, you would need to take sometime to understand what these different properties are like. Do you have what it takes to be successful in that area.

All of s, even the top producers are dealt with the same set of cards as you do - a functioning brain, and 24 hours. but how does a top producer clock over $100K commissions in a month, while the average property agent do $10K in a month.

You probably read in the newspaper that over 2000 agents have quit this business. To be successful in this business we need to leverage, because we are only dealt with 24 hours - that is something none of us can change. We can employ Personal assistants but they can only do so much for us. We still need to do the real work.

I will not elaborate on what we have because my dear friend William Goh has pointed out some of them. Again it boils down to my first point. Focus on your strength, amplify it and make it generate money for you.

Hi Kenneth, consider project launches where most of the prospecting activities take place on weekday nights and the viewings on weekends, so it can fit into your schedule. Especially international projects now which are moving faster than local projects.
