MagnumOne Realty Internship Program

April 26, 2008

Company Background

MagnumOne Realty is full service real estate Company serving the needs of buyers and sellers of residential property in the greater Sacramento area.  The company was formed by Julie and Michael Jalone in late 2007 to enable them to provide the customized individual service to clients and other agents that today’s real estate market demands.  In addition, having their own company furthers their desire to develop and mentor agents and staff.

One of the driving missions of MagnumOne Realty is to bring together a group of professional agents who by working together will increase the success of their individual businesses.  “We want to help you grow your business not tell you how to run it,” says Julie when she is talking to potential new agents.  “Working together allows us to support each other, share individual successes and back each other up when someone wants to take some well deserved time off.”

Intern Program

As a new and growing company with a development orientated management team it seems natural to provide a student with an opportunity to learn about a wide range of real estate and business functions that will assist them with their current studies as well as provide a lifelong experience. 

The successful intern will learn about the real estate industry, the local real estate market, and how to complete a real estate transaction from start to finish.  In addition they will have an opportunity to use the professional tools of a Realtor such as the Multiple Listing Service, online contracts and disclosures and other computer based programs.  They will obtain a working knowledge of real estate fundamentals, regulations and laws.  In other words they will get the fundamental education in real estate you do not learn when studying for and taking the tests to obtain a real estate license.  In addition they will gain firsthand experience on the business side of real estate including marketing, advertising and documentation of a real estate transaction.  Finally they will have opportunities to work with more than one agent, meet with clients and deal with a variety of people.

The objective of the MagnumOne Intern Program is to provide an opportunity for a student who may be interested in a real estate career or a student who wants to learn more about real estate to see and experience the day to day activities of a successful Realtor.   In return we expect to learn from the student, to be challenged by their questions and develop a long term relationship regardless if the student enters the real estate industry.
