Any real estate firm knows that contrary to popular belief, their agents need more than luck to sell homes. They need marketing, sales, networking, and support skills, to name a few. But how do they acquire and stay up to date on these skills to close more deals? 🤔
Through continuous employee training.
But what tools will help you train your employees and keep all your course content in one place? You’re in luck; we did the work, so you didn’t have to! In this blog, let’s look at some of the best employee training software for real estate firms.
1. Whale 🐳
We’ll kick off this list on a good note. 😎
Whale is a standard operating procedure and training software designed to assist real estate firms in creating a centralized digital database for their training materials. In an industry that often prefers traditional in-person and pen-and-paper training, getting agents up to speed on the latest news and ensuring everyone has the necessary skills to succeed can be challenging.
Whale’s document-sharing features make training agents more efficient and convenient. Plus, our forever-free plan allows you to test our tool and become familiar with it at your own pace.
Key feature #1: Document all training material in one place
Training agents can be difficult when the only documented version is in a stack of papers on someone’s desk. Or when multiple offices are under one firm, and everyone has their own version of the course material.
Instead, our employee training tool lets you house all your training courses in one place. You can create the training documents from scratch, use our AI Assist to create them for you, or use one of our 100+ templates to jump-start your course.
Whale makes it easier to create interactive content by allowing you to upload video, photo, and GIF media formats or use our in-app screen recorder to record your content.
To ensure everyone has the latest industry training, you can also schedule course reminders so you’re notified when it might be time to update your material.
Plus, we understand that agents may need a refresher while on the go, so they can access your training documents through our mobile app!
PS You can download the mobile app on Android and IOS.
Key feature #2: Easily test your agent’s knowledge
Training your team is only half the battle — you need to make sure they understand and remember what they learned. Even with their best efforts, The Forgetting Curve still exists.
That’s where quizzes come in handy.
In our tool, you can test your real estate agent’s knowledge of the information they consumed with quizzes. You can create the quiz yourself or let our AI-powered quiz creator make it for you based on the settings you choose.
With Whale, you can also see how each agent performed on their quiz and who might need additional help with the content.
As a sweet bonus, you can create badges with custom colors to reward your team for completing each course! 🤩
Key feature #3: Create and automate your training journeys
Of course, not all real estate agents are the same.
Some may be more skilled in marketing, while others have outstanding negotiation skills. So, how you train your agents — the ones you have now and in the future — needs to fit their skill sets.
With our Training Flows, you can create and automate training journeys so your agents only have access to and are only being trained on the material they need.
PS Check out how Hubr is using Whale to scale their real estate agency.
For example, you can create Marketing Levels 1, 2, and 3 for your agents with Training Flows. They can go through the content at their own pace, and the next level will be released once they finish the previous ones. All you need to do is set up your flows once, add an agent to a group, and let our trigger-based automation handle the rest.

TalentLMS also allows you to create learning paths and group course material so your agents always have access to the material they need.

- Training documentation
- Compliance training
