Mike-Ferry-compatible brokers in the Los Angeles area

[redeeds]

Hello everyone!

I would like to find a few brokers - not traditional ones, that is, ones that demand that their salespersons hold open houses, take floor time, farm geographically, spend a small fortune on advertising and self-promotion gimmicks, etc. - BUT brokers supportive of aggressive prospecting on the part of their agents as the primary strategy to generate sales. I believe my personality traits to be ideal for this type of prospecting and I do not want to waste my time and efforts on the other less proactive strategies just mentioned.

Unfortunately, most brokers I've talked to so far seem more than a bit shy when they hear an agent talk about direct prospecting (knocking on doors in neighborhoods, etc.) and about treating his business just like any other type of business, that is, with a focus on profitability, which is more or less the approach advocated by the Mike Ferry Organization.

What is the best way to locate the type of broker I'm looking for in my area? I tried contacting the Ferry Organization on a couple of instances over the past few days, explaining that I would like to locate a few brokerages in my area supportive of Mike's approach to sales, but no one there cared to return my messages...

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,

If was in Los Angeles, and new in the business, I'd call Froy Candelario of Superstar Realty and beg him for a chance to work and learn from him.

Try reaching him at this number: 818.361.0090

Jim

P.S. Let us know if you get a chance to work with him.

Thank you, Jim, for your advice. Before I go ahead and get in touch with Froy, could you share some more info as to what specifically, in your opinion, makes Froy such a highly desirable choice for a newcomer?

I googled his name and already have some info... but I am just interested in hearing your rationale at the base of your suggestion.

Besides Froy, how do I go about locating other similar career opportunities (still keeping the Mike Ferry approach in mind)?

Thank you so much,
Ray

Sent him an email yesterday... Called that number today, but it's impossible to get to him directly. Secretary said he'll call me back... If I don't hear from him, I'll go knocking on his door in a couple of days...

In the meantime, and at the risk of being redundant, how do I go about, what's the best way to find other similar prospective brokers of like mind (and deeds) to associate with?

Thanks,
Ray
