For Newly Licensed Agents
Are you new to real estate? Not sure what to tackle first?
Kick start your real estate career with Rich Cosner!
Rich Cosner is an experienced real estate broker who has been in the business of training and coaching newly licensed real estate agents for over 30 years — and has been responsible for the fast-growing real estate careers of hundreds of agents in the business.
A real estate training program may be responsible for making or breaking a real estate agent’s career. In fact, stats by The National Association of Realtors tell a dismal story:
On average, 33% of newly licensed real estate agents quit the business after only the first year.
As you can see, these stats reflect an alarming portrait of the state of the real estate industry concerning its newly licensed agents. Because of the high amount of competition these days, many novice real estate agents are not generating enough business to stay in the industry. In large part, this is due to inefficient training or training being focused on client- or business-oriented tasks rather than income-oriented tasks. In short, real estate agents are not being taught how to generate clients that will lead to a higher income — instead, most of the real estate training programs out there are more geared towards teaching contracts and forms, which is useless if you have no clients.

Today’s Top Producers are an Endangered Species
Coldwell Banker
Coldwell Banker believes it must lead its already highly-producing agents to a new model of doing business. According to Cosner, if today’s top producing agents do not adapt their business practices to a changing market, they will not be relevant within three to five years. “Some of the biggest names in the business are becoming more obsolete by the day,” he observes with candor. His message is simple. “If you want to maintain your top producing status, you need to be with our firm…the firm that can lead you into the future. I believe that most top producing agents are at their current firm because of habit. If they really looked at the choices and evaluated those choices in the market today, most would not pick the firms they belong to now. People are at their current firms because they feel comfortable,” he explains. “That is not the right reason to be there. Comfort and no leadership to help you grow will only lead an agent to irrelevance in a few years.” His passion for the topic is reflected in the roster of top-producing agents within his brokerage. They are winning in the market, he says, because they share in his vision of longevity and success.
