Careers in Real Estate
Why Octagon Realty?
  1. LOCATION - Our office of about 2400 sq. ft. is centrally located in Tottenham  beside the Post Office with plenty of parking in a corner lot with high exposure for clients coming to Tottenham. This makes it easy for clients to drive in and ask for real estate information, thereby  making it easier for your clients to come to you, therefore saving you time and money.

    1. One full kitchen, one client  room  in the reception area and 10 large private offices with large windows and 4 inside  individual offices.

  5. AGENTS - We hope to attract only the best agents in the area who are people oriented. While everyone will  be ambitious and hard working, they will take the time to support each other and have a little fun. We shall have numerous office parties and activities throughout the year because we believe that we work to live.

PRODUCTION - Most agents that have switched to Octagon Realty, previously with a large franchise company, have increased their volume within their first year despite the typical slow-down involved with the first few months of switching. Also, OCTAGON REALTY WAS THE NUMBER ONE real estate office in Tottenham  in 2005 as per TREB MLS Statistics based on transactions.
  7. EDUCATION AND TRAINING - We offer a one-on-one mentoring program with experienced top producers; the best way to learn.
