ELIFIN® Apprenticeship Program

10-Week Intensive Training for Future Commercial Real Estate Agents

September 14, 2026 Class | New Orleans, Lafayette, Baton Rouge

Unpaid • High Commitment • High Opportunity

ELIFIN® is Louisiana's #1 commercial real estate brokerage by number of sales. Our top producers earn well into six figures and beyond, work with the highest-caliber clients in the state, and build careers that give them the flexibility to be there for their family and friends.

The Opportunity

The ELIFIN® Apprenticeship Program is how we build the next group of top agents. It is a focused 10-week immersion designed for individuals ready to launch a career in commercial real estate brokerage, trained directly by ELIFIN's CEO and the top producers in our market. This program is built for people already licensed or obtaining their license during the program , who are ready to go all in on building a career as a professional CRE agent.

We are opening up a maximum of four (4) spots in the September 14, 2026 class.

Why ELIFIN®

• Louisiana's #1 commercial real estate brokerage by number of sales. 2,000+ deals closed and counting. Clients include the CEOs, investors, developers, and business owners shaping Louisiana's growth.
• Purpose-driven, high-accountability culture. 57,262 prospecting dials in 2025. Year-over-year revenue growth of 40 to 70% for each of the last two years.
• Proprietary data and technology. AI-powered research tools, automated buyer lists, and market intelligence give our agents an unfair advantage. A traditional brokerage cannot replicate it.
• $87 million in open commission opportunity across New Orleans, Lafayette, and Baton Rouge in 2025. Territory is wide open for agents ready to compete for it.
• Everything required to win, already in place. Culture, team, sales system, training, low direct competition, and a track record to back all of it up.

What You'll Do

As an ELIFIN® Apprentice, you will start building the habits, disciplines, and knowledge base that allow new agents to perform at a high level from day one. Over the 10-week program, you will:

• Train directly with ELIFIN's CEO and our top-producing agents
• Become an expert in your specialized area of focus
• Participate in regular training sessions covering the full commercial real estate deal cycle
• Learn the fundamentals of prospecting, outreach, and cold calling
• Shadow agents during meetings, pitches, and property tours
• Gain exposure to marketing strategies, lead generation, and pipeline development
• Work alongside high performers who move fast and expect excellence
• Push yourself harder than in any other job you're considering taking out of school

This is an action-driven , high-intensity environment built to prepare you to succeed as a full-time agent. It is not an internship. There is no busy work. You are not doing tasks for someone else. You are building yourself.

What Happens After the Apprenticeship?

Each agent specializes in a certain type of property and location ranging from selling multi-million-dollar apartment buildings to leasing retail space out to the city's hottest new restaurant. From leasing office space to some of the world's largest corporations to selling large industrial warehouses. And those are just a few of the specialties.
