Transitioning from a sole operator to a fully fledged real estate team is a huge milestone to cross. So, when you do make the leap, make sure that you do so successfully.

Your key objective should be to bring together people with complementary personalities and skill sets. It’s not about finding people exactly like you, it’s about finding the right mix of skills, knowledge and experience.

With your dream team in place, your agency can go from strength to strength. Employ the wrong people however and you could be faced with more challenges than working alone.

Here are your main considerations;

Define your real estate business

Being able to clearly articulate your vision and future direction will help you present your real estate business correctly to those you wish to attract.

Before you advertise for staff, you must define your business model. Are you growing your team to include more sales staff to gain bigger market share or are you looking for additional support staff to enhance customer service?

Your brand values are also important. Whether you operate as a high-performing and highly driven business or a more flexible and work-life balanced one, it’s essential to be clear on this fact from the start.
