There are 28 competencies outlined - you will be asked to rate your skill level for each.
Job Characteristics
The purpose of this section is to become aware of the realities of the job; to determine how your personality and experiences apply; and access if practicing real estate fits you and your life style. We provide information not taught in real estate school, and may be difficult to obtain. There are 85 questions that you will be asked to respond to.
Personal Assessment & Guide
You will be asked to total your scores from Core Competencies, Job Characteristics and Calculator-Forecaster - the guide presents ideal scores you can compare yourself to.
Expense Calculator & Income Forecaster
The Calculator-Forecaster is a separate Excel file that details all the out-of-pocket expenses you will incur your first year, and lets you adjust accordingly to your specific requirements. You can do “what if’s” on income you plan to earn, and get an immediate financial status. It also calculates and displays your financial forecast for your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years as an agent. You will be asked to complete your forecasts and then assess your financial risk. The Excel calculations are comprehensive and give you a clear picture of what your financial position will be as a real estate agent in year one, two and three.
