Build your business with Ons Soort Makelaars

Support for starting your own estate agency

Useful support starts with understanding where you need help. Whether moving from employment or another profession, describe your learning goals and business questions before an introduction.

Make your support needs specific

Group questions into knowledge, client conversations, marketing and organisation. Record what you can handle independently and where you want feedback.

Bring a sample situation such as preparing a sales consultation. Discuss checking information and knowing when to seek help.

Explore the tools in context

Ask about quotes, brochures, calendars, indicative property values and bids. Discuss how these functions fit your work and which checks remain yours.

Only approved active OSM member agents can use the tools. A demonstration explains the workflow without granting software access.

Agree expectations before starting

Discuss a point of contact, the subjects covered and how questions are followed up. Align available time and your learning route before making commitments to clients.

Scope, availability and conditions of support are discussed personally. This page promises no fixed curriculum, unlimited coaching or guaranteed instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Does every candidate receive the same support?

The approach should fit your experience and questions. Discuss the precise scope and availability during an introduction.

Can I use the tools to practise before joining?

No. Tools require approved active membership. Candidates can discuss a guided demonstration.
