There are many high-profile real estate coaches out there: big brand names that every agent knows, people whose faces appear on the ads for seminars and mega-conferences and free downloads. They have armies of coaches working for them under the same banner. Attending a live event could cost you hundreds of dollars. Paying them for coaching could cost you thousands per month.

Does it pay off?

But there is a world of real estate coaching options outside of the huge personalities in the spotlight. How do you know if a coach is going to be worth it? And if you’re working with a real estate coach, how do you tell if it’s paying off? Our cover story delves into the value of coaching, from both the agent and the coach perspective. In this issue you’ll also find the results from our coaching survey.
