When I first became a real estate agent in May 2022, I desired to find a small organization where I could
grow and become confident and knowledgeable in this arena. The real estate exam focuses on the nuts
and bolts of the subject matter; it does not give hands-on applicable examples of the minute details that
a real estate transaction entails. Also, the actual physical business tools needed to run a successful real
estate business are left up to each person to find on their own. I was looking for a broker who was
available to me for answers to questions I could not know where to find answers. I really desired to
focus on getting sales first. The first agency I joined initially promised to provide the support I needed.
However, I knew after two weeks that this agency was not a good fit for me. Many agencies approached
me. However, I trusted in my intuition to guide me to the right broker for me. When Ms. Ashley Kerns,
recruiter for Blackwell Real Estate called me for an interview, I felt a calmness that I did not experience
with the other recruiters.
When I met with James for the first time, I felt that I was in the presence of a successful man that did
not mind sharing his knowledge. I told him what I was looking for in a broker: accessibility, initial
direction, and guidance as to what steps to take to grow my business. James provided a portfolio with
everything his office provided for new agents. The extensive training really helps new agents to form
habits that can help them be successful throughout their careers. James provided me with all the
services his office provided for his agents. Everything was clearly spelled out in his presentation folder.
If an agent desires, Blackwell Real Estate can become almost one stop shopping for almost everything
your real estate business requires.
I am so happy and grateful that I signed on with Blackwell Real Estate. Although James is a no-nonsense
person in business, He has a wonderful, approachable spirit. I am happy to say that I did close my first
sale in six months when inventory was low, prices and interest rates were high. So many times, I
became anxious and discouraged during the process. However, I believed that if I followed James’
guidance, I would succeed, and I did!
If you desire to build a solid foundation for your real estate business, James is the Broker for you!
