After 36 years in the Air Force, I was totally focused on finding a "next career" that would allow me flexibility, chance to help people and provide a good income. I could not have picked a better career than real estate - it offers everything I was looking for and much more. I actually started my real estate career on a "part time" basis while in my last year of Air Force service.
If your considering a career, my full service real estate office offers an approach to real estate in the best possible environment - my Realtors are truly considered my family. With 30 Realtors on board today, we absolutely help each other on a daily basis.....unlike my first real estate office which was a franchise office where practically everyone would do anything necessary to gain a client or get a sale including what I would call back-stabbing, failing to transfer inbound calls to the actual Realtor that had the listing and much more.
As the Designated Broker - I am AVAILABLE 24/7 if you need help on any issue. I live 7 minutes from my office - which is again a real plus when your stuck on an issue.
Your initial training will be one-on-one with me as the Broker. I have been authorized by the Texas Real Estate Commission to teach every CORE real estate course in Texas, however, I do not do any outside teaching - only teaching new or transferring Realtors to my office.
Don't Be Fooled - Big Name Franchises (and I know I had one for 10 years) Cost
YOU (the Independent Contractor) BIG BUCKS with likely Not Big Promised Results
We feature a 85/15 split plan with no other costs that is simply the best in the area. This is an entirely new change to our office that took effect in July 2012 when we left the Realty Executives International Franchise and with the associated cost savings we can offer what I believe is the best compensation level for a full service real estate firm in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area.
That includes:
85/15 Straight Split No Other Fees (this includes your E&O)

Interested? I tell everyone who talks to me about real estate and are "shopping for a company" after you listen to the owners or managers recruitment talk, simply pick up 4 or 5 cards of Realtors who work in that company and call them asking how they feel about the company and so forth.
With that, I would have you call 4-5 of my Realtors and ask the same question.....you will find out quickly why were the best full service real estate company in San Antonio offering training, realistic costs and a true family environment, this has been reiterated many times over by title companies and mortgage companies we do business with.
