National statistics indicate that 10% of the real estate agents are making 90% of the money. Real estate industry leaders or managers generally agree that a depressing 5% – 10% of real estate agents have a written business plan.  Coincidence… I think not.

This is particularly alarming when you consider that NAR’s 2012 Member Profile showed that 81% of all agents are independent contractors. In other words, 9 out of 10 agents are running “their own companies” under the umbrella of their brokerage without a plan. No successful business can run that way.

It’s been said that “most agents spend more time planning their vacation than they do their business”. Now is the perfect time to plan both!

A “Strong” Business Plan Workshop

Participants of this intensive workshop will be lead step by step through all of the components necessary to complete a comprehensive business plan specifically designed for real estate agents. After some self-evaluation, historic analysis, and market dynamics analysis, their business plan will identify “their company’s”:

  • Required Gross Annual Income
  • Annual Operating Expensive
  • “Salary” and profits
  • Cost optimization techniques
  • Business owner vs. employee dichotomy
  • Average List/Sales Price
  • Strategic Marketing Plan & budget allocation
  • Areas of Skill Level Improvement
  • Growth Opportunities
  • Time management obstacles and corrective techniques
  • Book keeping requirements for 1099 income; mileage logs, tax deductions, home offices, and other IRS pitfalls
  • Why and when to form an LLC
  • When to lease your car vs. buying
  • Planning for retirement
  • Selling your business upon retirement

I attended the workshop that Jim Strong presented to our Los Angeles company.  As a seasoned agent I am usually concerned that it could be a waste of time.  With Jim he was spot on with his information and goal setting.  He was very enjoyable and it was very good for me to refresh all of my goals and business practices. I would recommend him to anybody, regardless of experience.  I look forward to attending again. Tom S. Los Angeles, CA
