The First 10 Things to Do AFTER Joining REAL Broker

The First 10 Things to Do AFTER Joining REAL Broker

Congratulations on joining REAL Broker! You are now part of a cloud brokerage revolution poised to transform our industry for the better. However, your journey has just begun. Here are the first 10 steps I recommend you take after signing your ICA and transferring your license to get up to speed with REAL’s benefits and tools.

 
Download the REAL App

1. Download the REAL App

The first step is to download the REAL Agent app. This app is fantastic for tracking transactions, commissions, getting support, and much more. Here are a few key features:

  • Dashboard: Displays projected commissions, closing dates, and your progress towards your cap. It also tracks your monthly and yearly earnings and revenue share.

  • Profile: Fill in your contact information, connect your social media accounts, and upload a headshot. Access support, your broker's contact information, FAQs, and the referral program link to build your revenue share downline.

  • Conference Calls: Listen to audio recordings of missed live training sessions and company-wide calls.

  • My Website: Customize your free real estate website.

    Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

2. Create a Workplace Account

Set up your Workplace account via the link in your welcome email. Workplace, created by Facebook, is like a series of Facebook groups exclusively for REAL agents. It hosts the REAL Academy, where you’ll find training on working with buyers and sellers, lead generation, and using REAL’s software. Join groups relevant to your state and the “Fired Up! Motivation — Tactics — Strategies” group. Download the Workplace and Work Chat apps for easier access.

3. Create a Skyslope Account

Skyslope is the software for submitting contracts for compliance. You should have received a link to set up your account in your welcome email. Watch Skyslope training videos in the REAL Academy to get started. If you need help, use the Support icon in Skyslope to chat with tech support.

Transfer Your MLS

4. Transfer Your MLS

Log in to your local Multiple Listing System (MLS) and request to transfer your brokerage to REAL. This step is separate from transferring your license and ensures that new listings show you as a REAL Broker agent. If you have questions, contact your broker for assistance.

5. Sign Up for Lofty

Chime is now Lofty! Lofty is an advanced website and CRM platform available to REAL agents for only $25 a month (compared to $500 retail). Sign up by emailing support@joinreal.com. Chime will request access to your MLS to display listings on your website. Watch training videos to learn how to use Chime effectively.

Make an Announcement Post on Social Media

8. Make an Announcement Post on Social Media

Use REAL’s social media templates to announce your switch to REAL Broker. reaDownload a template from https://marketing.joinreal.com/social-media/ive-joined-real-social-media-images/, customize it, and post it. You can also add a REAL frame to your Facebook profile picture.

10. Sign Up for Cloud CMA

Cloud CMA is a free service for REAL agents that allows you to create attractive Home Value Reports. Sign up and start using this tool for your listing presentations.

By following these steps, you'll be well-prepared to leverage the main tools available to you as a REAL Broker agent. Now you're ready to start selling homes and attracting other agents to build your downline.
