D. I love to coach those new agents who sign on to work with me

D. Had one (actually three different ones sequentially) and wasn't satisfied with the interaction. 

How about D - I used one, it was terrific for my business and the only reason it ended was she moved on to something else

James Hoff - my answer is A.

And for those who answer B, believe me, it's an investment.

For those who answer C, hats off to you.

I compare real estate coaching programs to weight loss programs. Some people need that support and guidance to accomplish things and others don't. I'm not a fan of coaching. 

The best coach I ever had was a good friend who is an amazing businessman with no real estate experience - other than having bought and sold houses. But I've never really cozied up to a professional real estate coach. 

You could check out Tim and Julie Harris' site and their real estate version of Think and Grow Rich.

A.!!! Buffini & Company since 1999. It's WAAAAY more than coaching!

My answer would be C.  Have never felt anyone from the outside could motivate me to do what I need to do.  Have to have the internal drive.

D. I had one and don't want another

 My coach was my first broker, now retired & good friend.  Later I spent many years coaching agents in my company.

James I did have coaches for years when I first entered the business - probably for about 10 years or so.  Then I moved into finding coaches for specific areas - ie internet marketing back in 08 as I had no clue what to do back then. I've also been a coach for years.

D.  Have had one in the past, and do mentor others when needed.

How about D?

I've had a few but none of them worked out. I wasn't getting what I needed. At this  point I can't afford it if I could find the right one.

C. I am self motivated and know what I need to do to keep my biz running at the tempo I like.

D:  I could probably use a coach, but don't feel like going through the hassle of hiring one.

For me C.  Reasoning: Grew up in the Mike Ferry organization (litterally) and my father was one of their coaches for a while.  Now if I need a coach I just go to dear old dad.

D.  My broker/owner IS a true blue real estate coach and will meet with me whenever I'd like. 

C

A and well worth it

C

Real Estate Coaches ....NOT FOR ME.

I do have a non real estate related coach ... a business coach.  

my pick is C... I also do mentoring....

C

D:  I AM a real estate coach  

I have not used a coach but have shared techniques with several of them.

Had one early on - not now

All need to coached, guided, counseled and nurtured when starting out

James Hoff D. In-house mentoring programs are more productive and cost effective for the agent.

Coaching works for some and too expensive for others!

I have a coach; Sandy

D. I am the coach around here, though somedays I am sure I could benefit from a coach too.

How about who wants to be a coach or mentor?

I will coach new agents on those want to listen.  

C.

I had one but they knew less than me and were old school and did not work for me. Coaches are good-we all have them, some of them internal, but pick one that helps in a specific area you want help in-leads, internet, web, etc. because a generalist takes too long to make a dent.

How about D. I had one and found it not very useful?

A.

I think, having someone who mentors and pushes you is beneficial for anyone. I'm with B. 

C - I am my own coach!

C.  I know what I SHOULD do, whether or not I actually do it is my fault and won't be changed by someone else telling me I should do it.

A.  Business/RE Coach  -  FYI.  We have agents from OC that are in our group.  Might want to check it out if you are thinking about it.  

C.  I have enough life experience and get enough great idea right here

I am number 3. I have established mentor relationsings over the last 27 years of real estate.
