O-YES Properties decided to make a difference and invest in fellow South Africans by offering
aspiring estate agents a promising future through free training and guaranteed employment for
those who graduated from the Academy. Unfortunately, many people who start in real estate are
only given a desk and a phone and are told to "get on with it" without receiving the necessary
training.
The Academy training is made up of three weeks of daily lectures, followed by 3 months of on
the job training. The course covers the whole residential real estate industry, both in sales
and rentals. Students' activities are monitored and assessed throughout the process. External
training is additionally provided and covers wider ranging training topics, including the
all-important Intern Log Book process. Monthly "check-in" meetings gauge the intern's progress
as to when their Log Book will be completed and when they can start the next phase of their
real estate development.
During the course the students are encouraged to mingle with and meet as many of the O-YES
senior agents as possible to understand and live in the complex world of real estate. Many of
the graduates have gone on to make a successful career out of real estate and their annual
commission often exceeds that of much more experienced agents within their first year of real
estate.
