Career Development Century 21 Advanced realty is always looking for agents to join our team and advance their careers. Whether you are a new agent, just beginning to explore the possibilities of becoming a realtor, or a realtor with several years experience, we are interested in exploring with you the possibilities that we offer. Not everyone is capable of becoming a realtor; and not every realtor will succeed in the business - the statistics indicate clearly that a large per centage of first year realtors do not survive their first year; and certainly, even among those realtors who have been in the business for several years, most are not top producers in their markets or even in their firms. What is true is that a sucessful real estate career demands certain personality attributes, a particular mind set, and work habits. It is also true that the most successful realtors - those who earn six figure incomes and are reasonably happy with themselves and enjoy their lives beyond their jobs as realtors - are not always "on top of their game" or always productive. Times of the year, changes in the markets they work in, changes in their brokerages, personality conflicts, illnesses or other personal crises, inevitably take their toll on the energy, the focus, and the activities of realtors as they do of all other professionals and non-professional workers alike. In the long run - what everyone strives for - what separates those who survive and prosper from those who do not is very apparent. Real estate gurus and trainers know that successful realtors are comitted to learning everything they can about their profession, highly disciplined, strategic planners, never take shortcuts, never satisfied with their successes, always look for ways to improve their performance, their service to their clients and to their firms, are never crushed by their failures - which are always more numerous than their victories, are passionate about what they do and yet know the difference between the important issues and those so often deemed urgent and produce panic rather than resolution. They know equally well that no one does anything by themselves except fail, that success is always the product of team work, and that an office that provides support for its agents, that promotes production and collaboration rather than competition provides an environment for success for all agents regardless of how long they have been in the business. At Century 21 Advanced Realty, we have training and compensation programs that serve the development of both new agents and experienced agents.
