ONE TEAM | ONE VISION
Many real estate agents are shifting away from expensive brokerage models and the lure of quick success. It’s becoming clear that excessive focus on scripts, seminars, and self-help materials detracts from essential what works, such as building relationships and understanding the market. The promises of recruiting, revenue sharing, and residual income are often not as appealing as they seem. As a result, agents are recognizing that creating their own brand is the key to success, rather than surrendering a large portion of their income to a brokerage.
Signs It's Time To Find a New Real Estate Brokerage
1. Leads:
Often, the leads provided are not qualified, wasting time and effort chasing unproductive contacts.
2. Revenue Share:
Revenue sharing models are complex and often promise more than they deliver, with actual earnings being significantly less than anticipated.
3. Recruiting:
Heavy emphasis on recruiting new agents detracts from the primary focus of selling real estate and building your business, turning agents into recruiters rather than real estate professionals.
4. Sponsoring:
Similar to recruiting, sponsoring new agents creates a multi-level marketing atmosphere, prioritizing the brokerage growth over the growth of your own real estate business.
5. Equity Plans:
Promises of equity is misleading if the company doesn't perform well or if the equity is difficult to liquidate
6. Sales Scripts:
Rigid sales scripts are inauthentic and ineffective, failing to resonate with clients who want personalized interactions.
7. Stock Options:
Stock options can be overvalued and contingent on the company’s performance, which are unpredictable and disappointing.
8. Dialing for Dollars:
Cold calling is an outdated and inefficient method of generating business, leading to low conversion rates and frustration.
These elements distract from the core activities of building your business, relationships, providing excellent service, and closing deals, which are crucial for long-term success in real estate.
