Mentorship Program Helps Agents Discover New Niches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the housing market slows, real estate pros may find it\u2019s a perfect opportunity to explore new niches and expand their business opportunities. They\u2019re finding that NAR Spire<\/a>, the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae\u2019 mentorship program, may provide guidance and encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program, which kicked off last year, aims to help real estate professionals in underserved areas grow their businesses. Participants are matched with experienced agents and receive one-on-one mentorship and tips on business operations. Participants also can take advantage of live educational events and use NAR Spire\u2019s online platform to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough Spire, it is our hope … to lead new and blossoming members through their own processes of professional growth, advancement and transition,\u201d NAR CEO Bob Goldberg writes in a recent column for The American Genius<\/em><\/a>. The program aims to attract people from different backgrounds to the real estate profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldberg highlights an example of how the program has helped real estate pros discover new niches and business pathways. He shared the story of real estate pro Ahmed Islam in Lehigh Valley, Pa., who took part in the program to finally fulfill his dream of jumping from residential real estate to commercial real estate. He first became involved with NAR Spire in 2021. Islam said he tried unsuccessfully for seven years to make the jump into commercial real estate, and his mentor helped him make the leap in seven months. They met every other week via Zoom initially and continue to meet at annual NAR conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMentors are not there to build your business\u2014they\u2019re there to guide you,\u201d Ahmed said, as noted in Goldberg\u2019s article. \u201cAnd [my mentor] was a great guide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
