Is there a better way to build a real estate career than this? Before you make that decision about where you want to be consider this FACT!
The real estate business is home to some of the world’s highest income earners.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
This is NOT what we are offering you, but it’s what 80% of real estate careers elsewhere are offering you.
You have a dream to list and sell property; you want to make a lot of money. Fair enough, who doesn’t, after all, the real estate selling business is home to some of the world’s highest income earners and that’s a fact. Real estate also has one of the largest failure rates, something like 80% of new careers fail inside the first 12 months because it’s one of the hardest markets to establish a sales career in.
Why?
Think about it, you’re new to real estate selling and you’re trying to convince home owners that their most valuable assets, the biggest financial transaction in their life, should be handed over to a rookie for sale. These home owners already know who the selling super stars are in the local community, their faces are all over the ‘for sale signs’ and the home owner wants them to sell it, not you.
So what happens to rookies?
Rookies are often shown a desk given a phone and a list of properties which might be no more than a local phone book and left to get on with it. Without any training they struggle through the work and spend hours prospecting and continuously hear ‘you’re who’ and ‘why would I want your help’ and when they secure an appraisal they are overwhelmed by the complexity of closing a listing.
Can they possibly be ready to take on the vendors’ financial future within the first few months in Real Estate Selling?
SO WHAT ARE WE OFFERING?
70 + years of experience and strength of reputation:
Our office is the unbroken evolution of two real estate businesses starting with the opening of the then separate brands of Copas from the 1930’s and the Newnham agency in the 1940’s followed by their subsequent merger in 1973 and in 1983 joining the First National group. The business is now owned and managed by Doug Trenham who has been in Real Estate for over 40 years, starting in Victoria from the inception of the First National group.
Think about what 70+ years of local experience really means. It means generations of dedicated real estate professionals who have between them built and served a massive client base, not just home owners or buyers, landlords or tenants, but
project developers, architects, council planners, business and community leaders and local organisations.
It means you are representing a well recognised local brand. When you contact prospective owners and buyers on behalf of First National you will benefit from a unique combination of local market recognition and a strong national identity. When you contact any member of our community you
will not hear them ask; ‘you are from where?’
It also means many years of dedication to a strong business ethic that has allowed our businesses to continue to serve the local community so well that we have prospered through numerous economic challenges over the last 70 years. We have seen many an agent without our service and structured style leave the market.
Our commitment to business excellence is also reflected in the fact that we are the only agency in Toowoomba to have in attained the ISO 9001 Australian quality assurance standard.
Comprehensive ongoing training
You will hear this from everyone but what does it mean? It means that they will send you to a few days of training once in a while? Usually after you have struggled for many months to prove your endurance but exhausted your energy and bank account.
Our approach is entirely different.
We have a rigorous selection process (more about that later) so if we choose to offer you a role in our organisation we expect you to succeed and we back our expectation with a training process at our cost that starts on day One.
You will be participating in a structured, proven method provided by the Pittard Group. You won’t be sitting around waiting for someone to have a spare minute to explain something or letting you suffer through a process of trial and error.
Doug will also work closely with you through every part of the job to coach and support you as you learn and perfect your skills. You will then be partnered with a number of our experienced agents at regular intervals to show you a number of different sales styles so you can combine your growing knowledge with practical examples and define the style that comes most naturally to you.
In addition to this extensive startup training process we run ongoing sales specific training bi-weekly for the entire team. This ensures we all retain our focus and gives us a way of sharing our immediate experience including changing market issues to achieve the timeliest sales for each of our vendors. It is this continual focus on selling process and expertise that puts us ahead of the competition and has ensured our longevity.
Support from a team of successful sales professionals
You will be joining a successful team of highly skilled sales professionals whose reputation will allow you to gain immediate recognition and credibility with prospects. Here at First National Toowoomba we are a real team, which is much more than a group of helpful individuals.
In our working world we share the workload and ensure we all have the skills to perform every task well. We share all listings to ensure that every buyer is available to every property we represent. This is in our owner’s best interests and means there is no need for competition between us.
It is in our team’s interest that every property we deal with benefits from maximum professionalism and if that means we need an extra pair of hands to cover while someone is out or help the newest member in a tricky situation then everyone is keen to help retain our great service record and good name.
A secure salary while you learn
We offer a guaranteed salary of $52,000 as well as a bonus system that allows for unlimited earnings.
Selling real estate is a career to be crafted with learning and practise that can take months and years to reach excellence. Unlike other offices we don’t put you on a token salary that is really prepayment of commission from the future. We know it takes time to learn these skills and we don’t want you to start selling with a growing burden of debt.
We place our client’s interests ahead of our own!
This is easy to say and hard to deliver, but it’s our core value. It’s what we do and it is in all our business strategies, systems and processes. It’s how we behave. Ultimately it’s why we are different and why you will succeed. An example of this includes not asking clients to pay for what we know is expensive and ineffectual local advertising for their property. Our technology savvy marketing system no longer rely on the old school local adverts that don’t achieve buyer enquiries but are great for the agents identity.
Our office
Location, location, location! Our modern well resourced office is a befitting environment that sends the right professional message to any landlord. Centrally located in the heart of Toowoomba thousands of people pass by our window display every week. With a professional office space there is room to conduct business in an environment that befits our reputation.

This also extends to a range of contact management tools including an extensive presence in social media which helps you provide the best level of service to our market.
