Selling real estate is a rewarding but often challenging career. Teaming up with a brokerage that offers top-notch training vastly increases the chances of an agent’s success. So what are local brokerages doing to show their dedication to investing in their agents’ success, and what tools and resources do they use to offer the best training? The best agent training programs focus on selling, marketing and other essential tasks.
