A mentor can help you grow and develop your knowledge and skills. Unfortunately, in the real estate industry, “being thrown into the deep end”, without proper mentoring, has become the norm. For years, we’ve said this shouldn\u2019t be the case and those Realtors should be mentored<\/a> so they can be set up for success. Now, the National Association of Realtors\u00ae has finally heard our cry for mentorship.<\/p>\n

The NAR has a mentorship program<\/a> that is “designed to help budding professionals in underserved areas thrive in a real estate career”. Named NAR Spire<\/a>, the program will match mentees from \u201chistorically marginalized communities\u201d with seasoned Realtors.<\/p>\n

Those in the program will not just be exposed to the day-to-day business operations, but will also receive insights into marketing, appraisal, IT, and financing aspects of real estate. Along with that, they will be given educational opportunities, be able to attend business-related events, have one-on-one mentorship meetings, and have access to an online platform designed specifically for the program.<\/p>\n

“NAR Spire is a groundbreaking new initiative designed and developed to drive inclusivity in the real estate industry,” said NAR CEO Bob Goldberg.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We’ve reached beyond NAR’s walls to collaborate with partners across a number of industries,” Goldberg adds, “and we’re confident this program will help Realtors\u00ae enhance their reputation as invested, engaged and integral members of every U.S. community.”<\/p>\n

You can join the program<\/strong> by completing an application form to become either a Mentor<\/a> or Mentee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After you’ve submitted your form, a program coordinator will evaluate your information to conduct a matching process. Your educational and professional background, experience, time availability, and location will all be taken into account to make a match.<\/p>\n

When a match has been made, the Program Coordinator will provide you with your mentor\/mentee contact details and make an introduction. Then, you will fill out an agreement, review guidelines, and complete an action plan.<\/p>\n

Afterward, it’s up to the mentor and mentee to start the mentoring process.<\/p>\n

According to the NAR website, the mentorship experience provides opportunities for both the mentor and the mentee, and I think we can agree that is true. For mentors, they will have the opportunity to coach the new kids to help them reach their full potential and also learn a thing or two in the process. For mentees, well, they will finally get the guidance they need to learn the ropes and thrive in their careers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
