In CO we have a unique situation: you must sign on with an employing broker before you can submit your application for a real estate license to the state.
Problem: I have agents signing on with me up to 8 weeks before they are licensed. They are fired up and ready to get started. They want to get started generating business, but they are very limited on what they can do. I have been sending them internet leads to follow up with, introduce themselves to, and see how there internet searches are working for them.
Now several of these leads are ready to look at properties right away- which means I’m out running around with these new agents showing properties with them. I don’t mind going with them the first time, but I having to go with them over and over again, write offers on homes at less than half of my usual price range, and work a heck of a lot more hours than I bargained for.
Now I would like not give leads to an agent until their license is in- but I don’t want them getting bored in the mean time. I can keep them busy learning their neighborhoods, training, etc. But 8 weeks is a long time to wait to start selling. Any ideas?
