Tips for Getting Started as a Real Estate Agent
Fulton Grace Realty is a leading brokerage serving the Chicagoland area. As one of the fastest-growing companies in Illinois and the Midwest Region, according to Inc, we believe education is a primary component of our business model and nurturing the key to much of our success: relationships. In fact, while many agents have their hearts set on sales as the “end goal” of their career title, it is the rental experience where an agent truly gains their ground and hones their craft.
We recently sat down with Adam Ballog, Executive Vice President, and Managing Broker at Fulton Grace who spoke about what truly makes the rental division most unique to him. “Rentals are basically a built-in education and training of real-world client exposure and contact building. Many of those renters will eventually become first-time home buyers. Plus the continual exposure pushes you to prioritize your contact management systems, which any agent will contest is a huge factor in the longevity of one’s career.”
