Getting Started with Home61
The following steps must be completed within 5 days of signing your Onboarding Agreement. If you need more time, please contact your Team Leader!
Step 1. MIAMI ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS (MAR) MEMBERSHIP & SUPRA
If you have already paid your dues, and are a member, disregard this step.
- Start by joining MAR.
2. Once you create your account, it is time to pay your dues.
3. Choose “Click Here to Login” and follow the steps.
4. If you cannot pay your dues online, please reach out to MAR and use the pdf/fax form.
Immediately after, please email your team leader so we may check to see if your form has been processed. Normally the wait time is 24 hours.
At this time, you can visit any of the seven MAR locations to purchase and pick up your Supra Key.
Step 2. LOGGING INTO HOME61 EMAIL
You can’t begin working without your business email. To access your Home61 email, go to www.gmail.com.
Please contact Cameron or John in person or by email at cameron.moody@home61.com/john.conley@home61.com to receive your login information.
Upon signing in, you will be prompted to choose a new password that will only be known to you.
Step 3. SETTING UP SLACK
Download Slack on your Android or iOS phone as well as your computer, and proceed by signing in. The name of our Slack workspace URL is “Home61”(.slack.com).
Once entered, you will be asked to provide your login details. These will consist of your Home61 email address and password.
Step 5. HOME61 Channel
HOME61 is the channel we use to share tutorial videos and other pertinent work information. All agents must subscribe to the Home61 channel to get the latest company updates.
Step 6. Fill out your Bio on the Home61 Agent Page
Follow the link below to the Home61 Back office. Once you are logged in, click on the top right corner and go to “edit your profile”. Scroll down to the two text boxes labeled “Short Bio” and “What I love about Miami”. Fill out these two questions with answers of about 260 characters max.
Step 7. BUSINESS CARDS
Home61 pays for your first set of business cards. To obtain these business cards, please contact Yolanda at yolanda@home61.com. She will aid you in receiving your first set of business cards. After your first set, you will be able to go into the Home61 Back Office and download them.
Step 8. Home61 Agent Referral Program
The Home61 Agent Revenue Sharing Program is designed as an incentive for you to help Home61 recruit the best possible agents. If we hire a candidate you refer you will be awarded a bonus of $250.00, after they complete their first transaction. Referred agents must have at least 12 transactions (rental or sale) or two years of sales experience. Please turn in the form “Agent Referral Form” on the day of onboarding or attached by email to olivier@home61.com.
Step 9. Training/Workshops
Every two weeks there are Bi-Monthly Sales Team Training/Workshops. These will be held every other Wednesday from 12 PM-2 PM. These sessions are designed to help you close more business. We provide you with qualified leads that come at a cost to us, and we want to ensure that you have all the tools necessary to help you close these leads and grow your business. Not being in attendance for these trainings will impair your chances of getting new leads.
Step 10. Marketing Materials
Marketing materials are found in the Home61 Back Office. Follow the link below and then click on Marketing. This is where you will be able to find your personalized marketing materials.
Step 11. Tech Onboarding
As a new agent, you will be required to attend an initial tech onboarding class, which is typically run once a month depending on the size of the class. Please follow this link to see the times available for tech onboarding.
Since you will be active before this tech onboarding, you can start watching some of our Tutorials Videos that will help you with Home61 tech in the meantime.
Step 12. Online Profiles
Creating an online presence is key to being a successful agent. Before you create these profiles, you must book a time to have your picture taken with Yolanda.
Once you have your picture, use it to create these profiles. After completing the profiles, send an email to olivier@home61.com with links to all of your profiles. You will not be considered an active agent until you have completed these profiles with your picture.
CONGRATS!
You have completed your initial onboarding! You will now be considered an active agent and will begin to receive leads!
