What should I be looking for in a real estate team to join?

Question

I am just about finished with my real estate licensing coursework and I am starting to look for a brokerage to join, but ideally I want to join a successful team that I can contribute to and learn from. I am in the St. Louis area if anyone knows of or is apart of a real estate team that is looking to expand. I also open to working as an assistant to a busy agent. I’m also open to any advice on what to look for in a solid team.

Just make sure you join an expert team with the knowledge you need to succeed, right now I'm a solo agent, and aside from prospecting, I really have no idea what I am doing, I need to be on a team..

Hello Joseph,

You're nearing the home stretch! I know you'll do fine with the remaining coursework and state exam.

I would look for a team that has systems in place so that you're not 'just another agent on the roster.'

A team with effective systems should have:

1. an on-boarding process for new agents

2. multiple lead sources;

3. lead/client follow-up systems and strategies (i.e. CRM, email campaign, etc.)

4. accountability systems (i.e. regular meetings, tracking numbers, etc.)

Counting on my fellow BP members to add anything I may have left out...

Best of luck to you moving forward!

Abel
