who you work with matters

Dear Fellow or Aspiring Real Estate Agent:

I understand that, right now, you may be spinning your wheels at your current brokerage, trying to get the start of your career to really take off. Perhaps you’ve been in the industry for a couple of years and have closed a few deals and been successful thus far, but you find yourself lacking the kind of consistency, income, and support you desire.

Such circumstances can be painful. In fact, many agents in this position feel like there’s no way to move forward other than choosing a different career path. Studies show that 87% of all real estate agents leave the industry in their first five years.

Agents like this have burned through all of their resources. The struggle to find success in real estate has caused damage to their wallet, their personal relationships, and sometimes even their physical health. And once those resources have vanished, agents in this position are left with no direction, no plan, and no money.

If this sounds familiar, what’s your next step? Do you lay awake at night wondering where your next deal will come from?

You could drop out of real estate and start working a nine-to-five job, or go to another big-box brokerage where you’ll feel lost in the shuffle. Or you could take charge of your future and pursue the successful real estate career you’ve always wanted.

If you have the drive, our team has the direction. We can show you the way to your goals if you’re willing to follow the path we’ve laid out you.

My name is David Brough, and after spending a decade in the real estate industry and building my own successful brokerage, I know what it takes to thrive in this business. My brokerage, Anthony REALTORS, began in my basement back in 2012 and has since grown into a successful team of high-quality professionals operating in Fort Wayne.

Our team is completely unique in what we offer those who join us. When you become a part of our team, you aren’t just another nameless agent—like how it might feel when you’re working for a big-box company. We pride ourselves on our culture, structure, systems, and tools, because these are the things that allow our agents to strive toward their personal and professional goals with confidence.

Our team members never have to wake up feeling uncertain about what they need to do next to stay successful. I make sure of this, because I act as a personal mentor to our team members. For the right person, the training, mentorship, leads, and resources I can offer will lead to the career (and the income) you have always wanted.

In fact, I guarantee that agents who follow our team’s blueprint for success will earn $60,000 in their first year with us. I believe so strongly in this that if you stick to our systems and don’t achieve that amount, I will make up the difference myself. But you must be ready to embrace our guidance.

No other team in the area has the lead generation follow-up systems, and brand equity that we do, and this makes it easy for our agents to succeed—if they’ve got the drive to do so. Nearly every aspect of the way we operate is unique from what you’ll find at other brokerages. Our custom property search website, for example, is so nice that sometimes other area agents direct their own clients to it.

Anthony REALTORS has so many resources to offer those who are willing to use them, including things like:

• Mentoring and coaching

• 30-40 new leads per agent per month

• A pond account with over 20,000 leads to call upon

• Unique follow-up systems and CRM

• Accountability

• An outline for success

• Consistent income

• Opportunities for personal and career growth

• Full-time staff

• And much more!

But don’t just take my word for it. Let me tell you the success story of someone who was once in your same position. Last year, an agent who was seeing moderate success but lacked direction at his previous job came to join our team full time. In his first full year, he became a high producer, selling $6.5 million in real estate and earning about $160,000 for himself. With no out of pocket expenses for him other than what it took to keep his license active and of course his automobile expenses. This was all achieved by leveraging the same systems and instructions we offer every agent who joins us.

So if you’re ready to seize success, I invite you to come work on my team. You’ll earn a 50/50 commission split from business that I give to you plus have access to leads, a great office space, my personal support, our top quality systems, and (most importantly) a defined path toward success.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are there any other fees on top of the commission split?

No, there are no hidden fees. We don’t charge desk fees or royalty fees (typically 6% right off the top), as we are not associated with a franchise brokerage. We pay for leads, professional photography, transaction coordinators, Matterport 3D tours, staging consultations, client events, office parties, your CRM and tech stack, and even client gifts for closings. Really everything!

Is there a cap?

No. Agents on our team have a performance based commission structure and have the freedom to pursue success without worrying about a cap.

Will I have a desk?

Yes. Agents on our team will be provided a great space from which to work.

How long does it take to start getting sales?

It usually takes 60-90 days for a newly licensed agent to get their first deal under contract and another 30 days to close. That's actually very fast. It takes 6-12 months for most agents to begin having a consistent income here and about 36 months of hard work before you'll start to receive a regular stream of referral and past client business. This is a marathon, not a sprint. But its important that you become fully immersed so you can experience early wins. Read our article about this.

We take agents and turn them into business professionals. We’re offering you success, very competitive compensation, and the ability to have a great balance between your life and your work. When you apply with us, you are taking advantage of the opportunity to truly fulfill your potential.

I’m looking forward to talking to you soon!
