Choosing your first brokerage
What new agents in Houston should look for
How do I choose a real estate brokerage as a new agent in Houston?
Look for structured training in your first months, a mentor or coach, help with contracts and transactions, technology you will be trained to use, and a community of agents you can learn from. At Keller Williams Memorial, new agents get an onboarding road map, the Agent Success Program, free transaction coordinators, legal and compliance support, and more than 35 classes and trainings every month. See why a full-service brokerage wins over a cloud brokerage.
Does Keller Williams Memorial train new agents?
Yes. New agents follow our onboarding road map, join the Agent Success Program with structured training and regular coaching, complete Breakthrough 120, and build a 30-60-90 day plan. See real estate training at Memorial.
Do I need to join a team as a new agent?
No. Many new agents at Memorial build their business independently with mentors, coaching and classes, and others choose to join a team. We can talk through which path fits you.
How can a new agent find clients?
New agents at Memorial can host open houses for other agents through our Open House Exchange, learn lead generation in Breakthrough 120 and BOLD, and use the Memorial Ave content lab to market themselves from day one.
