Real Estate Scholarship Questions

It is how the right people get into real estate with Kris Lindahl Real Estate (KLRE) without paying to get started. Approved applicants who are not yet licensed have their pre-licensing course and exam prep paid for, then join the KLRE team to sell with company-set appointments, weekly coaching from Kris, and a brand about 90% of our business comes through.

A 12-month, full-time commitment to KLRE after you are licensed. The scholarship is a two-way commitment. We invest in your license, training and mentorship, and you commit your full effort to the work for a year.

Yes. We do not teach selling from scratch. Our brand is too big to start at the very beginning, and the people who thrive here already know how to talk to people and close. Servers, bartenders, hospitality pros, teachers, auto and home improvement sales, new construction sales, property managers and licensed agents whose sphere has dried up all fit. Your title does not have to say sales.

Our standard is under 30 days from starting the course to holding a license. Three recent scholarship students finished all 90 hours of Minnesota pre-licensing coursework and passed both the state and national exams in under two weeks.

Kris Lindahl got his license in 2009, in the middle of the foreclosure crisis, when everyone said it was the worst time to start. It became the foundation for everything he built. When most people head one direction, opportunity is usually in the other. Buyers and sellers who have to move still move, and many agents pulled back on marketing. KLRE did not, so our agents spend their days talking to people who want to move instead of hunting for them.

You arrive at 8 a.m., work in the CRM until noon, then hit the field. You have at least 20 Real Conversations every single day. A Real Conversation is a real estate phone conversation with a prospect that lasts at least two minutes and runs about 80% listening and 20% talking.

It is for people who want to win. This is a high-standard, high-accountability team. Our people take appointments any time they are set, answer the 9 PM Saturday call, and share their numbers in front of the room. If you want an easy path, this is not it. If you want a challenge and a competitive team, keep reading.

We recruit for Minnesota and Wisconsin only. If you live elsewhere and want a real estate career in your own state, our state pages explain how to start and we will connect you with a brokerage or team leader we trust.

You will get an email from [email protected] with a short video interview. Then you complete a few assessments, and the right applicants meet our sales leadership team. Check your spam and promotions folders, because those emails get missed. You can also call 855-967-7653.

No. The program is selective on purpose. We look for people who are hungry, humble and smart, and we pick them as carefully as they pick us. Real estate income is commission based and results are not guaranteed.
