Hetherington tells Real Estate Broker's Insider that the move was a long shot, but he gave it a try anyway — and the move changed the way he runs his 773-agent company, Century 21 New Millennium in Alexandria, VA.
Since then, Hetherington has hired a dozen more real estate outsiders to run his offices. The result has been greater profitability, accountability, and professionalism.
Three important lessons that Hetherington learned:
* Real estate experience doesn't matter. Energy and management skills are key.
* Pay should be generous. Hetherington's salaries are $200,000 to $300,000.
* Managers should be paid based on the office's performance.
Learn how Hetherington hires new managers and integrates them into his offices in the December issue of Real Estate Broker's Insider.
