Rodeo Realty launches free career workshop series for new realtors

Rodeo Realty is rolling out a July workshop series in Encino, Westlake Village and Beverly Hills to help newly licensed agents and aspiring Realtors learn the basics of the business. The free sessions focus on contracts, commissions, prospecting and brokerage selection as the company looks to grow and train talent.

Why it matters: - Newly licensed agents often enter the industry with little guidance on contracts, compensation, client acquisition and brokerage selection. - Rodeo Realty is positioning itself as a training ground for agents who want a clearer path into residential real estate. - The workshops are free, which lowers the barrier to entry for people considering a real estate career.

What happened: - Rodeo Realty launched its Career Launch Series, a complimentary educational workshop for new and aspiring real estate professionals. - Founder and President Syd Leibovitch is leading the series. - Sessions will be held throughout July at Rodeo Realty offices in Encino, Westlake Village and Beverly Hills. - The program is aimed at people who recently earned a real estate license, are preparing for the licensing exam, or are exploring residential real estate.

The details: - The workshop covers contracts, forms, disclosures, negotiations and the role of a real estate professional. - It also addresses startup costs, including licensing fees, association dues, MLS access and marketing expenses. - Attendees will learn how to generate business, find buyers and sellers, and use prospecting activities to build momentum. - The sessions walk through the transaction process from first meeting to signed contract and closing. - The program explains how commissions, escrow and payment work after a deal closes. - Participants will review how to compare brokerages based on training, support, culture, technology, marketing and management availability. - The workshop also explains compensation plans, commission splits and expected services. - Attendees can ask questions, network with Rodeo Realty professionals and learn about the company’s training, mentorship and support. - Rodeo Realty says it has spent nearly four decades training and mentoring thousands of real estate professionals across California. - The company says many agents who started at Rodeo Realty became top-producing Realtors serving clients across Southern California. - The company was founded in 1986 and is one of California’s largest independently owned real estate brokerages. - Rodeo Realty serves communities throughout Southern California.

Between the lines: - The workshop series doubles as a recruiting and retention tool for Rodeo Realty. - By focusing on the earliest pain points in an agent’s career, the company is emphasizing professional development as a competitive advantage. - The format suggests Rodeo Realty wants to build relationships with new licensees before they choose a brokerage.

What's next: - The first session is scheduled for Thursday, July 16, 2026, at Rodeo Realty’s Encino office at 17501 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91316, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. - The second session is set for Friday, July 17, 2026, at Rodeo Realty’s Westlake Village office at 100 N Westlake Blvd, Suite 100A, Westlake Village, CA 91362, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. - The final session is scheduled for Thursday, July 23, 2026, at Rodeo Realty’s Beverly Hills office at 202 N Canon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. - Complimentary hors d'oeuvres will be served at each event. - Admission is free, but seating is limited, and advance registration is encouraged.
