Before you start, you will be assigned to one of our preboarding specialists. They help walk you through all the steps you need to complete before you start with us. We will complete a background check and license verification. If you are currently with a brokerage, you’ll want to be sure you close out any work with them, since you will not be able to bring it with you. You will also need to move your license under the New Western brokerage and complete all of our paperwork necessary to ensure you are set up and ready to go in all our systems on your first day.
