When you are ready we can offer you an opportunity to meet with and audition for major market agents who are looking for new talent just like YOU! Relationship building is key here! Let’s call this the IGNITION PHASE! We currently hold a 98% call back rate with agents. The national average is 2% ! This means almost everyone we train and present to agents receives the ever coveted CALL BACK!

MANY STUDENTS ARE OFFERED AGENCY CONTRACTS AT THIS POINT!
If that isn’t exciting enough for you, we can even offer market transition assistance and a transition liaison to help mentor you through your move recommending the best areas to find short term rentals, local networking opportunities, etc while you become acclimated to a whole new world!
