Hi there,
Here's some information about my experience choosing a new Broker, that you may find helpful. I've been selling homes for almost 6 years now, and due to my Broker electing not to Broker anymore - I had to find a new Broker to work under. I sat with two different Brokers in person, and spoke with 2 others on the phone. In the end, my husband and I were very enthusiastic to work with ERA Cusick Realty. (By the way, I didn't know this before, but "ERA" is a National real estate franchise, and is gaining popularity here in California...)
Here's the scoop. ERA is a company that gives it's agents LOTS of extra tools, free education online and bonus market advantages, that the other Brokers could not compete with (in our eyes). The one program that really hooked us on ERA was this one: The "Seller Security Plan." This program is basically a GUARANTEE to sell your clients home... OR ERA WILL BUY IT THEMSELVES. When Brandon and I heard this, we pretty much whipped out our own pens to sign. Honestly, how can you go wrong? When you're at a listing appointment, and you tell your potential Seller that you can GUARANTEE that their home will be sold in 180 days or less - how can they refuse?? Done. Where do I sign?
Of course, we did totally fall in love with the nurturing "Momma Bear & Papa Bear," 30 year Realtor Veteran's - the Cusick's - who are the Brokers. They are a really fantastic, dynamic and lovable couple. High school Sweethearts at that!! Man, the fact that Deb & Alan dedicate themselves purely to "mentor" and "supervise" their Agents - as opposed to selling real estate alongside you as another competitor- was a huge advantage to us. What more could we ask for? These two amazing "Oracle's" of Ventura County Real Estate, were just there to mentor and guide us through the trials and tribulations via Life In Real Estate?? To provide us with all their knowledge, their wisdom and their experience...?? Yet, not also compete with us for the same listings - like all the other Brokers we spoke with?? Wow. We were just in awe - and so grateful for their genuine Agent-Growing philosophy! We are actually thinking about asking their kids for permission to adopt them...
If you have the chance to sit down with these amazing people - do it. You will be very happy that you did.
