LAER Talent Acquisition Team

If you recently sat down with our talent acquisition team, THANK YOU. We are very excited that you are considering a career at LAER Realty Partners. As you have probably noticed by now, we do things differently than many other companies. First, we give you a ton of information before you meet with our Talent Acquisition team. We believe in being super transparent upfront so that you have a detailed map of the tools, training, support, technology, and leads that we offer our agents. Then, during our meeting with you, we go through our LAER Program and Services Guide so that we can show you how our agents are using our tools to grow better businesses. After that meeting, we leave it up to you to decide if LAER is a good fit.  We already think you are a good fit because we only interview agents who embody the qualities that make incredible agents and community leaders. The point is, we do not harass you with endless phone calls after you've met with our talent team, which is a common and typical recruiting practice in our industry. At the most, we will put you on our CEO's Monday Motivation email, so that you can get a little taste of LAER every Monday, even if you don't join our awesome company.  Stacey's Monday Motivation email is so popular that more than 20,000 agents subscribe to it each week!  It's that good!

So, here are a few things we want you to know about joining LAER.

#1 - No Handcuffs - We are different than most real estate companies in that we only want you to be at LAER if YOU want to be at LAER. Therefore, our Independent Contractor Agreements have no fancy language which would make it difficult to leave. We do not have Non-Competition clauses in the contracts. We do not keep business or change your split on transactions if you leave with pending transactions.  Although stuff like this is the industry norm, we don't operate that way. We love agents, whether they are at LAER or not. We are a great place to work, but sometimes agents choose to try other things, and we understand. Bottom line, no handcuffs in our contracts.

#2 - No Sign-On Bonuses - Unfortunately we do not offer sign-on bonuses.  YES, there are companies out there that pay agents to join. Usually, those companies have non-capping splits, which means you are really paying yourself the bonus because you are paying more into the company via your split.  In other words, say that a real estate company pays you a 10K sign-on bonus. You are very likely going to pay that company 2-3x more than you would pay LAER on an annual basis.  This means that your 10K bonus could cost you 20K to 30K a year in split paid into that firm. If you want help comparing splits from multiple firms, ask us and we will create an easy-to-read spreadsheet so you can compare apples to apples.  By the way, companies that have awesome tools, training, support, market share, great agents, etc, don't buy agents, they help create them.

#3 - It's All In Writing - One of our core values is transparency. That's why we spell out exactly how your split works, and how your commission plan caps. All of the tools, training, support, marketing, technology, are IN WRITING. We put everything in our LAER Programs and Services Guide so there's NO QUESTION about what you get when you join LAER.  When you are considering firms, make sure you get everything in writing. A promise that is in writing reduces the likelihood of misguided expectations. 

#4 - The Lions - OK, if you want to know what REALLY makes our company so AWESOME (besides all the tools, support, technology), it's the agents.  It's really hard not to brag about our people. Seriously. They are the best. We are small (500ish agents), but we do a TON of business.  We are #5 in the state of Massachusetts based on transactions closed. We close more than 3500 transactions a year in New England. We do a ton, ton, ton of business.  As the saying goes... you are who you hang around with. 

#5 - Social Consciousness - We believe that humans vibrate energy. So too do groups of humans vibrate energy. Our group lives and works on a high vibration, and we support and promote that good energy by bringing our people together for events regularly, by offering exercise and wellness classes all the time, and by filling our offices with staff, staging, and art that promotes our high vibrations. If you want to build an awesome business, and more importantly live an amazing life, nothing will be more critical than your energy vibration. Oftentimes, agents will end up at LAER via an unusual path, but it's not so unusual to us. We know that we attract the people who live life on high vibration. So, if there's a little voice in the back of your head that has lead you to LAER, let's just say, that's your energy talking and we are pretty sure you are meant to be here.
