The real estate profession is like no other. Every transaction is a mini training session. If you close 30 transactions a year, you have attended 30 hands on training sessions. The best way to become proficient in real estate is to put some deals together and ask questions while progressing along the path to the closing table.
There are some broker/owner/managers that are of the mindset that the new agent needs to observe several transactions before that agent can actually do his/her own deals. My opinion of teaming up with another agent and sharing the commission is that the new agent just gave some significant commission money away for no reason.
The mentor can mentor from the sidelines. The mentor can direct from a distance. Role playing can be done over the phone. I role play with agents all the time. The new agent may be watching and listening to another agent do the deal, but it does not mean the agent is training. The agent must blend into the fold sooner rather than later. The new agent will learn by doing, not by watching. The new agent will form his/her own habits and create a text of his/her own.
We train in real estate from the time we handle our first transaction until retirement. Every deal is different. No two transactions are the same. Learn the laws, and the rest will fall into place.
