Real estate school gets you licensed. We’ll help you figure out what comes next.

Getting your license is exciting. Then you get your first client and realize there’s a whole lot they didn’t cover in real estate school. That’s where Guide comes in.

Our highly regarded Mentorship Program gives newly licensed agents a real person to call, ask questions, work through problems with, and occasionally get a little tough love from. Our mentor, Jon Yacovetta, has built a career in real estate, but teaching has always come naturally to him. He’s the person his agents turn to when they’re stuck, need a second opinion, or just need someone to keep them on track. He’s authentic, direct, a little sarcastic, and genuinely invested in helping new agents figure it out.

The program takes you through your first five transactions, with hands-on guidance along the way. You’ll learn the stuff that only really makes sense once you’re in it: working with clients, writing offers, navigating contracts, managing the transaction, getting to the closing table, and starting to build a business of your own.

You won’t know everything when you start, and you’re not supposed to. That's where we come in. 

Meet Your Mentor

Step One

You’ll work directly with Jon Yacovetta, a teacher turned real estate agent who knows how to keep new agents learning, moving, and accountable. He’ll be there for the questions, the tricky transactions, and the occasional tough love as you build your business.

Your First One-on-One Meeting

Step Two

Meet with your mentor to discuss your goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. Together you’ll create a personalized business plan designed to help you build momentum and grow your real estate business.

Join Weekly Mentorship Meetings

Step 3

Attend weekly mentorship sessions where new agents collaborate, share ideas, and learn together. These meetings create space for questions, strategy discussions, and real-world problem solving.

Training, Classes, and Real-World Experience

Step Four

Participate in classes, practical training, and hands-on deal support as you work through your first transactions. You’ll gain the experience, repetition, and confidence needed to succeed in real estate.

Close Your First Deals

Step Five

With guidance from your mentor and support from the Guide team, you’ll navigate your first transactions and build the foundation for a successful real estate career.

Graduate With Confidence

Step Six

Agents remain in the program until they have completed five transactions, ensuring they leave the mentorship program with real experience and the confidence to operate independently.

What Agents Learn in Our Program

Through Guide’s mentorship program, new agents gain hands-on experience in the real skills required to succeed in residential real estate, including:

• Writing and negotiating purchase contracts
• Hosting showings and managing buyer consultations
• Preparing CMAs and pricing homes strategically
• Navigating inspections and negotiations
• Managing listings from preparation through closing
• Building a personal brand and generating consistent business

Agents practice these skills while working alongside experienced mentors through their first transactions.

Before Guide I felt confused and directionless. Today I feel confident and purposeful. Mentorship gave me a place to learn from other newer agents, ask questions, share ideas, and build my confidence in the business. I’m a different person now than I was when I joined mentorship, and I feel empowered to run my business my way.
