We Love Live Urban Rookies.
Once or twice a year, Live Urban Real Estate brings on a class of brand-new agents.
Although we get hundreds of applications every year, we only accept a few. Those that show honest hustle. Who bring experience and success in other industries to the table. And who accept the rigorous training and expectations that come with being a full-time Real Estate agent representing Live Urban as a residential real estate expert in the Denver Metro area.
Our rookie agents are paired with an experienced Live Urban agent to be their Real Estate mentor. They not only go through classroom education and sales training, they also shadow their mentors for the first few months - during appointments with clients, home tours, open house events, writing and negotiating contracts, and basically learning the business - and all of the nuances of the Denver area - on the ground, in real-life scenarios where the true learning happens.
Live Urban rookies are closely supervised and supported by not only their mentors, but the entire Live Urban family - from John Skrabec and Mark White, the company's founders, to the rest of our Operations and Marketing teams. And, of course, all of the agents at Live who are always ready to jump in and answer questions, provide learning opportunities, offer recommendations and share experiences that add up to thousands of transactions and hundreds of years of priceless knowledge and lessons learned.
So, they might be new, but they are mighty, and we can't wait to watch them conquer every challenge, grow as professionals, and soar as Live Urban agents.
We're so happy to introduce Live Urban Real Estate's New Agent Class for Fall 2016.
