Join a brokerage that ticks all of the boxes

Every career move is important these days, so taking the right steps at the right times is crucial. The real estate industry, in particular, can be tricky to navigate. Knowing exactly what you should be looking for in a good brokerage is crucial.

With the industry getting increasingly competitive, working with an organization that has the skills to differentiate itself from the crowd is imperative. There are so many things to consider when you choose your next opportunity, but what are the most important things to look out for?

The Royal LePage Brand
“At Royal LePage, the spirit of exceptional service, collaboration, support and giving back, thrives at every level of our organization – from our employees, to our brokers, managers and sales professionals,” says Nirmal Brar, Broker Manager of Royal LePage Flower City Realty. “It is a big part of what makes belonging to Royal LePage so special, and a cornerstone in our industry leadership and success. In survey after survey, decade after decade, consumers and real estate industry professionals alike have consistently defined and associated the Royal LePage brand with trust, integrity, success, support and collaboration.”

Commitment to training
“Royal LePage has specialized training for every stage in your career,” says Brar. “We recognize that the real estate industry is constantly changing and can be quite challenging, so we’re committed to your continued professional development.”

Royal LePage offers various live and on-demand webinars, tutorials, and in-person workshops to help its agents learn about the company and its services offerings. The brokerages teaches agents how these tools can be used in all aspects of the real estate sales process from prospecting, client nurturing, working with buyers and sellers, and obtaining repeat and referral business.

“To accelerate performance, agents need training that focuses on helping them develop repeat business and gain exposure to new business opportunities,” Brar says. “Agents who participate in tailored producers’ programs offered by their brokerage are shown to close more transactions.”

Industry events
With a network of more than 17,000, Royal LePage continues to be the largest national real estate company in Canada. Through national and regional events, agents can benefit from the opportunity to learn from industry and subject-matter experts, connect with tier one partners, and network with fellow Royal LePagers while building your referral network.

“The Royal LePage National Sales Conference is one example of an event that is so valuable for the company’s agents,” Brar says. “It features compelling and informative keynote speakers, in-depth and topical educational sessions, networking events, and a trade fair with the latest real estate products, services and technologies.”
