For anyone looking to take their first steps into the real estate industry, there’s no better place to turn than Century 21 Alliance Group in Valparaiso. The real estate experts at Alliance Group have long worked to bring new agents into the industry the right way: by giving them the tools and support that they need to become successful in the business.
“Once you get your license, what sets our company apart is the two month training program that takes new agents through modules that cover things like business planning, listings, buyers, and the closing process,” said Kathy Bowgren, who manages the offices at Century 21 Alliance Group.
After the initial two month training program, Bowgren’s job is to oversee new agents who begin to build their business and further build their knowledge of the industry.
“While new agents are going through the classes and the training program, we’re always there to help with any questions or issues that they might be having,” Bowgren described.
Like nearly anyone graduating or completing a certification, there is a level of real-world experience which that person will need in order to become exposed to and acquainted with everything that cannot be taught in the classroom.
“Sure, you learn a great deal in the classroom but does it teach you everything you need to know to go out and become an agent?” Bowgren said. “No, it doesn’t teach you all of that.”
“We have ongoing training every week, which we’ve been doing for years now, and we’re constantly trying to stay ahead of the game. We’re a family-owned company so we’re all working together as a team. We’re always working to boost each other up and make each other better.”
Along with the incredible training and guidance that you’ll receive at Century 21 Alliance Group, the atmosphere and culture of the office is one that promotes positivity and teamwork.
“We do a lot of fun things throughout the year and we work hard to keep people motivated,” Bowgren said. “No matter how long you’ve been here, we are always doing ongoing coaching. I meet with people weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly, and there are people who have been in the business for 20 years that I meet with every month to try and help figure out why a listing isn’t selling or come up with ideas and marketing strategies.”
