Chris Shiamili, President
During the interview process, I am often asked by agents interested in joining our company: "Do you charge any monthly fees?" "Do I have to pay for my own advertising?" "Are there any other one-time or recurring fees I would have to pay for?" What I am asked, in other words, is the question: "What would be my out-of-pocket costs by joining your company?" This is a good question but it ignores, depending on the company one decides to work with, the far greater expense an agent might incur: wasting his or her time by failing to earn any commissions for a prolonged period of time. What would be your cost if you join a company where your compensation is based on commission and you fail to earn a penny for several months or even for a year?
Whether or not you succeed as a real estate sales professional in NYC primarily depends on the level of training and support, resources, and tools provided by the company you decide to work with. Joining a company where you have to generate your own listings and leads, or where you do not obtain the proper training and support, or not given the right tools and technology to work with, will be a huge waste of your time. Ideally, you want to join a company where all you need to bring to the table in order to succeed are your great interpersonal skills and thirst for success and that company is ARDOR NEW YORK REAL ESTATE.
I would highly encourage you to read the "Guide to Selecting a Company - Key Questions" (download brochure). This information will provide you with the key questions to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each company you decide to interview with and make a wise choice as to which company to join. “The Ardor New York Advantage” provides the answers to these same questions for Ardor New York Real Estate. I will be happy to personally meet with you and answer any other questions you might have. Please feel free to contact me at 212-588-3030 or at hr@ardorny.com
