Job description

Company Description

Yoder Real Estate is a 16 year old West Michigan company has rapidly evolved as the local leader in Residential Real Estate. With more than 10 team members and over $1.5 Million in Annual Revenue, Yoder Real Estate is a pioneer in providing technology-driven, client focused Real Estate services. We are transforming the Real Estate industry and we dominate our market place. Top talent across West Michigan join Yoder Real Estate for its forward thinking approach to providing reliable and world-class real estate services exceeding the standards of the mom and pop and typical large real estate companies and for the opportunity to excel in a performance-driven, fast-paced, and competitive atmosphere; the chance to be surrounded by peers and leaders that inspire, motivate, and innovate and a team philosophy that encourages ideas from all employees. 

Job Description

Dear Candidate,

Have you ever thought about a career in Real Estate? Has the idea of unlimited income potential ever gotten you excited? Have you held yourself back from taking action because of any of the following reasons?

  • You're scared of leaving a full time job  
  • You're scared of being on commission only
  • You're scared of not knowing much about real estate 
  • You don't think you're a good salesperson

If any of these reasons have held you back, give this some more thought. Commission paid salespeople are the highest paid people on the planet. Further, we hire all backgrounds! No direct experience is necessary. Currently on our team we have a former dispatcher, a former manager of a uniform company, and two recent college graduates. All of our salespeople have the following things in common:

  • No previous real estate experience 
  • Previous positions were hourly or salaried    
  • Are all doing extremely well and making more money in real estate than their previous positions   
  • They are learning and growing daily and becoming the best versions of themselves because this environment fosters success and growth

What does this tell you? This could be YOU!! Don't look back in 10 years and regret not making this move!

We are looking for hard workers who want to achieve a high income and learn from the best in the industry. 

We ensure your success and eliminate the risk, costs and barriers of entry into this industry in the following ways:   

  • We pay for your 40-hour pre-license course     
  • We pay for your Real Estate test and license    
  • We pay your first year Realtor (NAR, MAR) dues     

You will receive elite training from the best real estate coaching company in the industry and direct coaching and mentoring from company owner and founder, Kevin Yoder.

We're so sure that our systems and training will work for you, that we guarantee a first year earnings of at least $80,000 or more... or we will pay you the difference! If you are top talent you will make over $150,000 in your 2nd year. 

Did you know that 90% of all real estate agents fail in the first 2 years? Did you know that the typical agent will only make $15,000 in their first year? The reason is that the traditional brokerage model is broken. Therefore, before you decide to begin your real estate career at one of the many "Big" brokerages, consider that they don't need to make sure you're successful - they'll profit through your monthly desk fees regardless if you make a dime or not. They hire hundreds of agents, provide minimal training (Claiming it's "Great Training") and cut them loose to sell. Some will, some won't. Actually, most don't and leave the industry broke and shattered. 

On the other hand, Yoder Real Estate agents grossly outperform other brokerage's agents for the following reasons: 

1) We are careful who we bring on board (We're far more selective - we don't take just anyone because they fill out a job ad and can pass the real estate exam).

2) We spend the time, energy, and money necessary to make sure our agents are successful through elite training, coaching and mentoring. 

3) We're here to win and continue to do so by creating a winning culture, which attracts more winners and people who are eager to succeed. Stallions will only run with stallions, not donkeys! 

4) Finally, we are not successful OR profitable unless our agents are successful and profitable. This synergistic approach virtually guarantees results! 

If you think you have what it takes - apply below and make 2018 your best year ever! 

We hope to see you at the top!
