ONE TEAM | ONE VISION
Many real estate agents are no longer drawn to expensive brokerage compensation models and the promise of quick success. It has become clear that focusing too much on following scripts, attending seminars, and consuming self-help materials can take away from the core of real estate work, such as building genuine relationships, understanding the market, and providing exceptional service. The enticing promises of recruiting, sponsoring, revenue sharing, stock options, and retiring with lifetime residual income are not as appealing as they may seem. As a result, alternative business models have emerged, and agents are realizing that building their own personalized brand is the key to success, rather than giving up significant portions of their income to their 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 Dialing for Dollars: Cold calling or "dialing for dollars" is an outdated and inefficient method of generating business, leading to low conversion rates and frustration.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.
