Join Our Team

With our vast experience from being in the real estate industry for over 30 years, we’re excited to get the chance to help you build your real estate career!

APPLY TODAY

At Illumin8 Real Estate, our goal is to have a relatively small office so that each broker associate will receive the training and mentorship they need to become successful. We travel often and will be referring our business to our agents.  This is a great opportunity for you to build your own business. We believe that each agent is a business unto itself, and we help train you to that end. We love real estate and plan on helping the public realize the American dream of home ownership now and into the future. 

We would love you to join us on this journey.

MENTORSHIP

One of the most important aspects of learning the business, which never stops, is to associate with other professionals, get constant training, and learn how to project yourself to the top of the real estate agent heap.  Yes, we said heap.  All markets have way too many agents in them for the number of sales generated per year.  Our career is perceived as “easy” and attracts many potential agents.  Most fail.  Don’t be one of them. 

You need to set yourself apart from the competitors.  We can share some of the most creative methods in real estate listing marketing and buyer representation to help you stand out in the heap.  Stand on our shoulders and excel above the others.  We will show you how. 

Our company will stay small so that we can help our agents succeed. One-on-one mentorship will help you on a personal level to explore your strengths and challenge you to a higher level of performance and productivity. 

COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION

We offer an attractive compensation package.  Review our Salesperson Contract for additional details.

LEADS

We generate leads that we will distribute to our agents.  We pay for lead platforms like Realtor.com and ZBUYER (lead sources can be changed or discontinued at any time). Through online magnet offers, a robust CRM system, unique listing and sales programs, builder programs, and an exclusive opportunity to work with an investor… we’re excited for you to ramp up your sales with quality leads!
