I have assistants on my team who handle almost all paperwork for me, and they help other agents on my team with paperwork as well. My least favorite part of real estate is dealing with paperwork. A real estate team will help agents with paperwork and contracts.My training sessions discuss lead sources, how to talk to clients, how to talk to new leads, what you can and can’t say, how to prospect, how to work with investors and much more. I have a team meeting every week with training sessions and I am thinking about holding meetings every day to increase my team’s performance. A great real estate team will also provide training for new agents.A real estate team will help you decide where to spend money and which programs are worth paying for. The best way to build the business is not from buying leads, but from building a database from people you already know. There are many companies out there who promise great leads to agents. Some of those lead sources are okay and some are a complete ripoff. I discuss real estate leads in this article, but a new agent can easily go broke trying out different lead sources.Here are a few things a new agent will learn from a real estate team. You have to learn how to build your business on your own or with the help of a mentor. When you get your real estate license the courses do not teach you how to get business. A lot of agents make very little money trying to do everything on their own with no training. I like to tell new agents 100 percent of $0 is still $0. The higher commission split does not mean more money but does usually mean less training and help. The more training an agent gets, the more deals they will do, and the more money they will make. New real estate agents need training and mentoring to learn the business and become successful. There is also difficulty knowing where a lead actually came from because calls come in from for sale signs and other sources that cannot be tracked.Įven though some teams may offer a higher split than other teams, a real estate agent does not always want the higher split. I offer the same split no matter where the lead came from because I want agents working just as hard on my leads as their own. Some teams offer different commissions depending on where a lead came from the team or the agent. I offer agents on my team a 50/50 split on all deals they do (I offer a better split for more experienced agents). Since the lead agent gets most or all the commission, they can pay agents on their team close to what that agent would make on their own. In my office, I am not the broker, but I am on a 100 percent commission split because I pay a base fee every year to my broker. In some cases, the team leader may even be the broker and will not have to split any of his team’s commissions with the office. When you join a real estate team, the team leader most likely sells a lot of houses and will have a very high commission split. The fewer houses you sell, the less money you make the office, and the smaller commission split you will get. New agents usually will receive a lower commission split than experienced agents when they join an office. However, that does not mean a new agent will earn much less on a team than they would on their own. The lead agent will take a part of each agent’s commission in return for the services and training they offer. It will drastically reduce the learning curve when starting out as an agent and save you money as well. Learning from a mentor who has been successful in your market is the best way to learn how to sell houses and build your business. Real estate classes do not teach how to sell houses, but the laws and regulations regarding the process of selling houses. When you choose a broker to work with, they may or may not offer training. As a new agent figuring out how to get leads, what to spend money on and how to sell houses is difficult. It is hard to get started as a real estate agent, because you only make money when you sell houses, and it can take months before you sell your first house. The average agent makes less than $20,000 in their first year because it takes time to become established. When an agent becomes successful, starting a team is a great way to build off their success by adding agents and making money without selling more houses themselves. Some lead agents will provide training, pay office bills, and offer other perks to get agents on their team. The agent who starts a team will make money off the agents they hire because they take a split of the agent’s commissions.
