“We are extremely excited for this opportunity and since our affiliation with Rockwell Institute, we have had over 30 inquiries to the program and expect this interest to continue through our recruiting efforts”, says Jeff Petsche, Sales Manager/Broker Associate for Coldwell Banker Armstrong Properties.

Jeff says, “Attrition is an inevitable part of the real estate business. Real estate has one of the highest turnover rates of any industry, which makes recruiting new agents critical to the success of our company.” Jeff goes on to say that “while retention is also critical, it is not enough to maximize your profit potential and ensure the longevity of an office because agents eventually retire, make career changes or just change companies. It’s just what happens in our business. Filling the pipeline of new agents is an important part of my daily routine, and statistics show that 80% of real estate agents leave the business within two years, so constant recruiting is a crucial part of any company’s success”.
