Considering a career in real estate?

Did you know that we are an industry leader with income per agent?

Did you know that we have a commission structure, bonus levels and profit sharing that leads the industry.

About Hoeting Realtors

Since the inception of Hoeting Realtors our goal has been to grow the company by recruiting primarily from outside the Real Estate industry. It is tremendously rewarding to watch a new agent grow into a successful and well paid professional. We have grown from a sales force of 12 agents in one small office to more than 30 full time Realtors in our new Western Hills location at:

6048 Bridgetown Road
Cincinnati, OH 44248

Your education really begins once you have been licensed. We begin with our extensive, in house training program, designed to give you a fast and productive start. Our unique sharing plan for phone and internet prospects helps a new agent build a prospect portfolio quickly.

Ongoing training continues for a life time as we constantly search for new and better ways to serve the home buying public. We never lose sight of the valuable lessons we have learned through years of experience.

Our focus, while mainly geared to the residential market, has grown to include the marketing of vacant land and commercial and investment properties within our marketing area.

We are committed to developing, maintaining, and retaining the most competent and ethical team of career professionals in the industry.

How Do I Get Started?

Call Doug Rolfes at 451-4800. He will answer all of your questions and start you on the path of steps outlined below.

To sell real estate in the State of Ohio, you must obtain a real estate license from the Ohio Division of Real Estate. In order to become licensed a prospective associate must:

• Complete four real estate pre-license classes. (Hoeting Realtors recommends taking the classes at Hondros College. Log on to Hondroscollege.com for a complete list of courses at a campus near you.
• Broker sponsorship
• A score of 75 on the Ohio Division of Real Estate examination.

What Are The Initial Costs To Get Started?

• The pre-license costs vary from school to school but it is safe to assume that the initial pre-license investment will be between $1200 and $1300.
• After obtaining your license, Hoeting Realtors requires you to join a local board of Realtors, the Ohio Association of Real Estate and the National Association of Real Estate.
• As an associate with Hoeting Realtors you must also join the Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service. By joining the MLS system, information about thousands of properties will be available to you.
• The annual cost of all dues and fees is between $500 and $700 per year.
• As a new sales associate you will also have start up costs to get your new business off the ground. Those costs include office supplies, cell phone, and personal marketing. Personal marketing and promotion will vary depending on your marketing strategy.

Who Will Train Me After I Am Licensed?

At Hoeting Realtors we feel that extensive training is essential to your success as a sales associate. Once you have successfully passed the state exam you are ready to enter into Hoeting Realtors's two part training program, called our QUICK START program:

• The first part of Hoeting Realtors's Quick Start training gives a newly licensed Sales Associate the ability to rapidly accelerate to a fully proactive Associate. The total program uses a combination of approaches, with continuous reinforcement both in the field and in the classroom, to build the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for developing a successful sales career in real estate. The QUICK START training is based on the company's conviction that success results from building a knowledge base through teaching and self-study and developing appropriate skills and attitude through field practice, continual coaching and counseling.
• The second part of our Quick Start training brings a new Sales Associate into a structured educational and motivational environment to provide the tools and training to get the Sales Associates up, running and earning an income in the first 30 to 90 days after entering the program. Phase two is a nuts and bolts program. The Sales Associate will be coached on everything from conducting open houses, personal marketing and listing presentations.

Hoeting Realtors equips each agent with the latest tools and technologies such as a company website with individual agent web pages, email, efax, document scanning, voicemail, pdf-editable CABR forms, and an in-house Intranet with links to important local real estate sources.

Can I sell real estate part time while working a full time job?

At Hoeting Realtors we feel that, though it is not impossible, it is highly unlikely that a person will be successful as a part time Sales Associate. Part time Sales Associates typically can not attend the QUICK START classes, weekly office sales meetings and can not make themselves readily available to their clients and customers. These factors prohibit a new Sales Associate from developing the skills and confidence needed to be successful.

We at Hoeting Realtors feel that our company gives you 100% of the tools, training, technology and managerial support you need to be a successful realtor. As a result we expect a full time 100% commitment from you, the sales professional.

Some key questions to ask your self when considering a career in real estate:

• Can I make the financial commitment to get started?
• Does commission-only income fit my lifestyle?
• Am I willing to make a fulltime, 100% commitment to a new career in real estate?
• Can I commit to the extensive training schedule offered?
• Can I commit to working irregular hours such as evenings and weekends?
• Am I a professional who is committed to personal growth and development?
• Can I commit to working with the Hoeting Realtors team of professionals and add to the continued success of the team?;
