Get to Know our mentors
Why do I need a Mentor? Did you know that a high percentage (70-85%) of people who get a real estate license drop out of the industry by the end of their year in the business? Why is that? We’ve identified several factors that contribute to the high failure rate.
Inexperience in running a business (think sales, contracts, client attraction, bookkeeping, taxes, negotiation skills, and more)
Financial pressure of not having a bi-weekly paycheck
Not receiving proper training and encouragement after joining a brokerage
Lack of confidence
When you partner with Minnesota Real Estate Mentors, you will receive our award-winning curriculum along with the caring guidance of our highly experienced Mentors.
This powerful combination will cause you to be fully competent much faster than the other agents in your pre-licensing class. You’ll be closing transactions while they are looking for a 9-5 job!
Get to know each of our Mentors by booking your complimentary strategy session.
“It is our personal goal to interrupt the pattern of dropout for agents in their first year in this business. By providing the much-needed knowledge that is not taught in the pre-licensing education, along with mentorship, we believe we can help agents build the businesses they dreamed of when they decided to get a license. When a motivated agent partners with an experienced industry professional and really strives to be successful, there’s no stopping them!”
