Everyone Says Real Estate Is Down. That’s Exactly Why Now.
Rates are high. Headlines are scary. Plenty of agents pulled back. Kris Lindahl got his license in 2009, in the middle of the foreclosure crisis, when everyone told him it was the worst time to start.
His first deals were short sales that took ten months and paid a few hundred dollars. It became the foundation for everything. When most people are going one direction, the opportunity is usually in the other.
People who have to move still move. KLRE kept marketing while others cut back, so our agents spend their day talking to people who want to buy or sell, not hunting for someone to talk to. The economy is shifting too. Incomes haven’t kept up and many jobs are changing fast. Smart people respond by compressing time, and the fastest way to compress time is a great mentor.
It Only Works When Every Piece Works.
A big brand and a great mentor aren’t enough by themselves. You need to know how to sell and you need to be hungry enough to act fast. Both sides commit, and that’s when it becomes a true partnership.
The Brand

Straight Answers.
What is the Kris Lindahl Real Estate Scholarship?
It’s how the right people get into real estate with Kris Lindahl Real Estate (KLRE) without paying to get started. Approved applicants who aren’t yet licensed have their pre-licensing course and exam prep paid for, then join the KLRE team to sell with company-set appointments, weekly coaching from Kris, and a brand about 90% of our business comes through.
What do I commit to in return?
A 12-month, full-time commitment to KLRE after you’re licensed. The scholarship is a two-way commitment. We invest in your license, training and mentorship, and you commit your full effort to the work for a year.
Do I need sales experience?
Yes. We don’t teach selling from scratch. Our brand is too big to start at the very beginning, and the people who thrive here already know how to talk to people and close. Servers, bartenders, hospitality pros, teachers, auto and home improvement sales, new construction sales, property managers and licensed agents whose sphere has dried up all fit. Your title doesn’t have to say sales.
How long does it take to get licensed?
Our standard is under 30 days from starting the course to holding a license. Three recent scholarship students finished all 90 hours of Minnesota pre-licensing coursework and passed both the state and national exams in under two weeks.
Is it a bad time to start in real estate with high interest rates?
Kris Lindahl got his license in 2009, in the middle of the foreclosure crisis, when everyone said it was the worst time to start. It became the foundation for everything he built. When most people head one direction, opportunity is usually in the other. Buyers and sellers who have to move still move, and many agents pulled back on marketing. KLRE didn’t, so our agents spend their days talking to people who want to move instead of hunting for them.
What does a normal day look like?
You arrive at 8 a.m., work in the CRM until noon, then hit the field. You have at least 20 Real Conversations every single day. A Real Conversation is a real estate phone conversation with a prospect that lasts at least two minutes and involves 80% listening and 20% talking. Emails and texts don’t count!
Is this for people who want freedom and flexibility?
It’s for people who want to win. This is a high-standard, high-accountability team. Our people take appointments any time they’re set, answer the 9 PM Saturday call, and share their numbers in front of the room. If you want an easy path, this isn’t it. If you want a challenge and a competitive team, keep reading.
Is the scholarship available in my state?
We recruit for Minnesota and Wisconsin only. If you live elsewhere and want a real estate career in your own state, our state pages explain how to start, and we’ll connect you with a brokerage or team leader we trust.
What happens after I apply?
You’ll get an email from [email protected] with a short video interview. Then you complete a few assessments, and the right applicants meet our sales leadership team. Check your spam and promotions folders, because those emails get missed. You can also call 855-967-7653.
Is a job guaranteed?
No. The program is selective on purpose. We look for people who are hungry, humble and smart, and we pick them as carefully as they pick us. Real estate income is commission based and results aren’t guaranteed.
