While Kolbe isn’t a “real estate-specific” designation (like a CCIM or SIOR), many high-performing real estate leaders and teams integrate the Kolbe System to understand the conative (instinctive) strengths of their agents and staff.
How Brokerages Use These Consultants:
- Team Building & Recruitment:Brokerages use consultants to assess potential hires. For example, Daryl L. Braham, a broker/owner at Prudential Premier Real Estate, became certified specifically to better manage his team and development company.
- Operational Efficiency: Consultants like those at Xyon Global offer services to property managers and multifamily real estate firms to help them find the “long-term fit” for specific roles.
- Strategic Growth: Strategic advisors within the industry, such as Evergreen Growth, use Kolbe certification to provide “fractional COO” services to real estate development companies.
- Internal Leadership: Some brokerage owners get certified themselves to “maximize strengths and minimize stress” within their own organizations, helping to reduce agent turnover and increase engagement.
Key Real Estate Designations vs. Kolbe
It’s important to distinguish between Kolbe(which measures how you work) and Real Estate Designations (which measure whatyou know):
- Kolbe: Focuses on instinctive strengths (e.g., Fact Finder, Follow Thru).
- CRE/CCIM: Focuses on Commercial Real Estate expertise and market analysis.
- CPM/ARM: Specialized for Property Management professionals.
Are you looking to hire a consultant for a specific team-building goal, or are you interested in becoming certified to work with brokerages yourself?
