Join One of the Fastest Growing Real Estate Teams in Western Upstate
How would your life change if you consistently earned $60,000, $75,000, $100,000 or more as a full-time real estate agent?
Dear Current or Future Real Estate Agent:
Are you a newly licensed agent looking for a great place to accomplish your goals? Have you already been in the business awhile doing $2 million to $7 million in annual volume but feel stuck trying to break through to the next level? Do you work in another industry but want to work in real estate because of everything it offers?
Believe it or not, I’ve worked with plenty of ideal agents who started in your situation—especially those who came from another line of work or were already in the real estate business but didn’t work in sales. Brand-new agents or agents who feel stuck in their careers typically face four main problems:
- Leads. If they’re already in the business, they’re not getting any leads from their current broker. If they’ve never been in the business, they don’t know how to generate leads.
- Training. So many agents don’t get any attention from their brokerages. If they’re brand-new to the business, they find out really quickly that getting a real estate licenses does not come with a success manual. You got your licenses... so now what? Even though these agents have real estate licenses, they’re not sure what to do with them.
- Time. Independent agents who do $2 million to $7 million in annual sales volume spend 70% to 80% of their time (at a minimum) doing administrative work instead of honoring why they got into the real estate business to start with: to help people. They’re spending too much time trying to get deals closed, and it’s limiting their production.
- Money. The money you make from real estate can be inconsistent if you don’t have a plan or daily process, and a lack of income may have been the driving reason you got into real estate in the first place.
It’s no wonder that 90% of all new agents are out of the business within two years. To solve this problem, many join companies promising them leads and success training. Some of these companies even offer really sweet commission deals, but you know what? Sweet commission deals don’t come with leads from the brokerage, support to help get deals closed, or that training you need - because they can’t afford to provide them. What keeps these agents up at 3 a.m. every night? Thinking about the bills they have to pay and the family they need to support. They want to live a certain lifestyle but are working 24/7 just to survive. They don’t want to have to get a second job (aka a “regular” job), and they for sure don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck. Obviously, if this problem goes unsolved, they’ll have to join the ranks of the 90% and give up the freedom and lifestyle they desire.
The good news is, I can solve this problem for you. My name is Les Walden, and I want to invite you to join my team. I’ve been in the business for over 25 years, and the Les Walden Real Estate Team has helped more than 3,500 families buy and sell homes. In that time, I sought out the best practices for new agents and agents that want to do more business to be successful, developed a process to help agents accomplish their goals, and I’ve trained many agents all over the country who’ve become the best in the business.
My solution is simple: one-on-one training, thousands of existing warm leads provided just for you, and the proper tools to manage those leads. We’ll then teach you how to generate your own leads. There’s no question that our tools and systems work, and I offer them to you for free. We have the systems to keep you on track and hold you accountable for accomplishing your goals.
What makes this solution unique is that our team structure allows you to spend more time selling. A lot of companies promote the “team” concept but don’t feature a group of people who move as one and truly help each other succeed. Our culture is one of help. We value honesty, integrity, loyalty, and having fun doing what we do. We’ve got your back.
What also sets us apart is what we can offer in terms of technology. It’s a fast-moving world out there, and our technology helps our agents keep up. Our website is award-winning, as is our CRM that tracks our leads (it even boasts artificial intelligence to help our agents out). It’s exactly the technology to help you move as fast as the world moves.
What we’re most proud of, though, is the referrals we generate from past clients, our sphere, our friends and family, and the community. When they have real estate needs, they know we’re here to help. Our tools and systems are proven to work. By learning our processes and applying them to your business, you will be able to create the business and life you want. More importantly, you’ll be able to give your family the lifestyle you want to provide.
Granted, there are alternatives to this solution. You can join a brokerage that offers high commission splits, but they won’t provide quality leads, back-end support, or great training. In the end, you’ll be left to figure everything out yourself. You could also join a brokerage that promises a massive number of leads, but these leads are generated mostly from cheap, pay-per-click internet ads. These people have no interest in buying or selling a home. They’re the opposite of a warm lead.
If you still have doubts, consider the success stories of two current agents on our team. Robert came to us five years ago with no real estate sales experience whatsoever despite the fact that he’d worked in the real estate business his whole life. He now averages over 60 home sales per year and earns more than $240,000 annually.
Steven came to us with a property management background, meaning he had no sales experience either. In his second year, he sold 27 homes. This year, he’s on track to sell 36. All told, that means over $115,000 in his pocket. Both of these men have the businesses they envisioned and are providing the lifestyle they wanted for their families.
I want the right people to join our team. If that means you, then we can help you live the lifestyle you envisioned when you first thought about becoming an agent. If you take me up on this offer, your first step will be to undergo our one-on-one training and learn the proven process of building your own business. Next, you’ll be enrolled in our mentorship program, where our top agent will ensure you understand all the lessons you've been taught and apply them daily. After that, you’ll be given warm leads so you can start filling your business pipeline. Finally, we’ll teach you how to generate your own leads. By completing and applying this training, I guarantee you’ll achieve the goals you set and be successful.
There’s never been a better time to be in real estate. By responding to this offer right now, we’ll schedule a 45-minute needs analysis meeting and identify the blind spots in your strategy. We’ll also discuss how to strengthen those blind spots and work in your strength zones.
So what are you waiting for? Call or email me today and let’s take your career to the next level.

P.S. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions I get about working here:
Q: What is your split/fee structure?
A: We don’t have office fees. We work on commission splits, but we’re not a 100% commission company. We’re a high-service company to help you accomplish your goals. You can’t get high commission splits and back-end services. It’s one or the other, and we’ve found that the back-end services make you more successful in the long run.
Q: Do you have a competing broker?
A: No. I compete to make you better, but I don’t compete with you in terms of sales and listings.
Q: Do I get any leads, and how are they distributed?
A: Yes. We have over 11,000 warm leads in our database. After you’ve gone through our training process, you’ll start getting those leads.
Q: Do you provide hands-on training?
A: Absolutely! It starts with one-on-one training to give you the tools to be successful. We also provide a mentorship program where you’ll receive the assistance of a top agent.
Q: Is there a broker or team leader to answer my questions?
A: That’s pretty much what I do every day. I have over 25 years of experience and 3,500 transactions to draw from to help you solve issues big and small. I’m here to help you figure out ways to improve your business.
Q: If I come to the office, will I have a designated office space or a desk?
A: Yes. You’ll have a designated office space area you can call your own. You can also work from home if need be, although we’ve found that there are tremendous advantages to working in an office environment.
