Thinking of Joining Us

The mat at our door says
"WELCOME!"
 

We only accept full time Realtors or Referring Realtors. We do not accept part-time Realtors.

For your personal and professional success, your choice of a real estate firm is key. Please read our sections on expectations and policy carefully. They describe our beliefs and company culture. If you do not agree with us on the importance of these values, this may not be the place for you. If our company appeals to you, then come to see us with a load of questions. We want you to inquire about our ethics, our way of doing business, our record of success and how you will be compensated. Talk to our Realtor Associates to see why they like Anderson Associates and why they stay with us despite continual recruitment from the other firms.

We care about our Realtors, just as we care about our clients. As you will discover, you will be joining a very special group of people. Our Realtors and our clients are tasting experts too!

• A good organizer

You must be very knowledgeable about Greenwich.

In general, your clients – especially those new to our area – must be able to depend on you for valuable information about almost anything related to buying or living in Greenwich.

To serve yourself, your customers and your clients, you must stay competitive in your profession. We believe that continuing education is the key to staying competitive. The world is progressing rapidly and you must progress with it.

You are expected to be – or become capable with – the latest technologies, including how to use the latest Multiple Listing Service computer system and how to use personal computers.

You are expected to want to work on real estate full-time.

Good real estate agents keep confidences. You are expected to keep your associates, your clients and your company's secrets. This is not a place for gossips.

You are expected to enjoy being a team player. This means backing up Realtor Associates, so they can provide better service to their clients.

You are expected to comply with the letter and the spirit of the National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics as well as all of the company’s policies and procedures.
