Real estate development training is critical to the success of any listing service or brokerage firm. Since agents come from such diverse backgrounds, you may find that they don’t have the sales or marketing experience, or the communication or negotiation skills they need to be successful.
Even if they have previous experience or the required skill set under their belt, it may not translate directly to real estate. As an office or sales manager who supervises brokers and agents, focus on the reasons why trainees fail, as these points should be addressed during training.
To help you develop a real estate development training manual, here are 5 steps you must include in your program to help your brokers and agents sell more in less time.

Brokers should set goals that motivate their agents to encourage further skill development. A key thing to add to your real estate development training modules is how to create SMART goals. There are many variations of what SMART stands for, but they typically look like this:
a. Specific: Is the goal clear and defined?
b. Measurable: Can you meet this goal in a reasonable time frame?
c. Attainable: Will you be able to complete this goal?
d. Relevant: Are your goals relevant to your career?
e. Time-Bound: Does your goal have a deadline?
