Solid Foundation / Exceptional Training
Pros
Whether new to real estate or seasoned pro, the training and support to get your career started or advanced is highly underscored here. The sales director and training specialist work in your corner and provide a very regimented training approach to allow you to craft your style to a proven system. The model here is to book you appointments and provide you with the tools to "win the business". The guaranteed offer program gives you instant credibility that you aren't just there to list the house, but ultimately sell it. Your arsenal of products and selling solutions help you tailor roadmaps for all client types; distressed, no equity, relocation, divorce; luxury, light rehab, high net-worth, high equity, bridge loan, assumptions, and creative financing solutions. The straight cash offer, hybrid, and on-market playbooks for efficiently closing for top dollar are tried and true and it shows why Mark Spain Real Estate sells more homes by volume than other brokerages in the US.
Cons
Marketing has a mixed message that Mark Spain agents will be making an offer on site at the first appointment without any formal representation from the seller. Biggest challenges come from the initial appointment setter providing the proper expectations that there is a process to receive offers by signing a listing agreement and taking a video before offers are presented. Agents are well equipped to handle these objections but there are no guarantees that the client will work with Mark Spain. Commissioned based role and splits are lower than traditional brokerage / upside, listing appointments are booked for you and opportunity for higher splits for closing benchmark per quarter.
