9 Questions You Should Consider Before Choosing a Real Estate Brokerage

In Utah, you must be associated with a real estate brokerage to be a real estate agent. You cannot be a real estate agent by yourself; a broker must supervise your real estate activities. Choosing which real estate brokerage you’ll affiliate with can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your real estate career. Utah Real Estate School, TSG, offers FREE placement assistance to all its students.

Utah Real Estate School, TSG, is an independently-owned real estate school. We’re not associated with any brokerage firm; we work with many brokers throughout the state. After graduating from our school, we want our students to choose firms where they’ll receive additional training and support. As a student of our school, you’re not required to affiliate with any brokerage we recommend, nor can we guarantee a position with any firm. However, we can inform you of brokers currently hiring new agents and tell you about real estate companies where our former students have been successful. We are here to support you in understanding what to look for when researching the various real estate companies.

Here’s a list of questions you should consider before selecting a real estate firm:

  1. What kind of reputation does this firm have with the public and people in the industry?
  2. What kind of post-licensing training is available through this firm?
  3. What kind of marketing materials does this firm offer its agents?
  4. Is this firm technologically advanced?
  5. How does the firm generate leads, and how are they distributed to agents?
  6. How do the broker’s business philosophies compare to your own?
  7. Is there a full-time broker or trainer to assist you?
  8. Is your compensation fee or split-based?
  9. What are all the costs associated with affiliation with this firm?

It’s important to remember that you don’t need to select a broker before taking your course or licensing exam. During your time with our school, we encourage you to concentrate on your studies and learn the terminology and concepts essential for success in the real estate profession. After passing your state licensing exam, you’ll have the opportunity to choose a brokerage. Your success is our goal!
