I’m not a new agent starting over, but I’ve been a real estate agent for 9 years and this is my first time experiencing a market like this. Business has dried up. So, in theory I’m starting over. Im completely changing the way I’ve been doing business.
I’m in the same boat worked in real estate 17 years but haven’t been active in the past three years.well has run dry starting over again. Do you have any suggestions
What you said about shiny object syndrome is so true. It's so hard in a day in age where EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is trying to get your attention on social media in regard to their marketing method or program being the best, etc etc. Honing in on a proven strategy and mastering it really is the goal.
I have a question regarding your second tip, but first thank you for taking your time to post this video. My question is, how do you feel about joining a brokerage who starts you off maybe around 50-50, but has opportunities to go up in splits to/or near 100%? Thanks!
Brandon, I agree with 99% of your advice except regarding affiliating with a brand. Yes, at the end of the day, a customer/client will only work with an agent if they like and trust the agent. However, the right global brand will definitely help open more opportunities to sit at the kitchen table. It will amplify everything a great agent is already doing, plus add the power of network referrals. The challenge is that most agents who are part of a brand don't leverage what the brand has to offer, and in that case, it is a waste. I am with a global brand and I can say, without hesitation, the ROI on my little 6% is exponentially greater. Just my two cents. Plainly stated, I make more off my affiliation than they do off of my 6%.
I have a question. Where I'm from there is limited availability within teams due to having enough agents within their team already. I have been inquiring with a couple and one of those brokerages' trains solo agents how to run their business, gain clients, allows shadowing seasoned agents, guides them through transactions etc. Again, you would be a solo agent. In this case, would it be a good idea to join with them? They are locally owned and have had so much success. I'm debating on still finding a team or going ahead and jumping in solo. Please give me some insight.
I was just talking about this too, if I had to start all over again, I would've skipped college and gone straight into RE at 18. Selling multifamily since day 1. Great video!
When you talked about bouncing around from one channel of lead generation to the next being a recipe for failure, I felt that in my soul! As a part time agent that’s been my first 6 months in the business. I’m going to focus on cold calling FSBOs and Expireds and stick to it! Thanks for the upload!
@@cuddledog142 fs! Had to tweak it a little bit with new and old expireds, doorknock all FSBOs, and circle prospecting and have booked appointments from each! That’s all been in the past month or so and I have 1 listing 1 pending and a bunch more in the pipeline
The BEST decision I ever made was joining your coaching program. I tell every agent stop wasting your money on “shiny objects” and join your coaching program. Even my broker agrees that your program is by far the best. But ppl still love their “shiny objects “ instead. Smh. Don’t get it.
Amazing advices! I have a question. What if one source if lead generation didn’t brought any results (we been focused on international buyers) and realized especially with new rules its not effective anymore. Does it make sense to switch to other source of lead generation? Thank you
Isaiah Duren Real Estate 2 minutes ago I try to do the team but did not work out and I am back to being solo. Also, I try to get on the top teams out there but did not let me join. Also, do open houses and help top producers hold an open house and have a small team. I did not join that team because the broker did not let me join I got rejected two times. The team I was on did not like me prospecting over the phone and did not give me the opportunity to work on my sales skills. I do not know any team out there that has outbound lead generation.
7 months into the business. Although I still have a few things to get down before I think about this stuff, it’s good to have a blueprint sitting in the back of my mind.
i tried that, hire an assistant. The problem is how will you pay them? once they are licensed they don't need you anymore as they can earn 100% comm minus the company split. I would prefer doing everything myself and have agents working under me with a 70/30 split. (70% agent and 30% Company) That way you can still sell and if you get to much work you can hand a referral to your agents under you like 20%. Bare in mind the mandates split is on 50/50. (Listing Agent and Selling Agent) so if you get to busy and it's your listing you hand the buyer over to the other agent you get 20% of the selling agent as the referral and if it's your listing you still get your 50%. Meaning Selling agent will get 30% and you get 20% referral plus your 50% listing. Every agent has a split with the company like 70/30 so the selling agent will get his 50% minus the company split
Brandon, difficult question: Is it possible to do just as well by yourself in lieu of joining a team, even though it may be a more uphill battle when you're brand new? I really want to do this for myself, build my own business, and be my own boss.
I have an opportunity to join a team like you discussed, but I'd be strictly a buyer's agent. Do you think I should still do it. Or find one that allows me to list?
I did that. Too restrictive. Listings are so much more valuable to building your business and your brand. If you focus on listings, you will also get buyers. Sellers become buyers.
Great advice especially about joining a team. I’m learning how being on a team & being surrounded by like minded individuals can assist me in growing. I’m switching brokerages for the third time for this very reason
@premarathna kaluaratchi I need one but I can’t afford you yet😂😂 but there are a lot of facebook groups for Realtors. Join them, then offer your services there
You’re in Michigan!? I WISH I WOULD’VE KNOWN! I’m from Michigan been there my whole life but finally left a few months ago. You could’ve mentored me in person 🥺😭💯🤦🏾♀️ smh; however you’re correct! I came to Charlotte, nc back in November and I have found a team who does just WHAT YOU SAID! I thought it would be smart for me starting off in a totally different state and for me to gain more knowledge and I said I was going to leave after a year getting that many deals; and find a 100% commission brokerage.

So...join an independent brokerage to keep 100% commission, but then hire a coach and assistant? And then get them licensed? Doesn't sound like 100% commission😂😂😂

This video is so on point…Most agents dont look at themselves as salespeople

Thanks Brandon for all these strong teaching videos they are worth watching like Netflix

That’s exactly what im doing. Wish me luck
I’m stuck between skipping college or going to business school. You being a Real Estate agent what advice could you give me in 2025
Love the walking and talking videos!!
This is the good stuff right here! I just got licensed. This definitely gives me some direction with what is to come. Thank you!
I’m still pretty new to the really side of the biz this is 💯

100% agree, this video is a treasure for new real estate agents!
I completely agree going into my 4th yr and I would definitely do exactly what your saying !!!!!!!!!! Shoot I just might do it 😂
“They all work, if we work” wow!🙌🏼
I tried to set up a time on your calendar but nothing is available. What should I do to schedule an appt?

How much monetary investment?
What was your first 6 months ROI with hus coaching?
Amazing advices! I have a question. What if one source if lead generation didn’t brought any results (we been focused on international buyers) and realized especially with new rules its not effective anymore. Does it make sense to switch to other source of lead generation? Thank you
I am having to reboot my business, and I think this is the way I should go... would this work even as a current part time agent?
Amazing advice, I will be basing my brokerage search based on all of your advice!
Great video! The Realty Task Manager app will help too
How do I find a team like this though?

Would you start with a team if you've been an agent for years and went to a new market?
7 months into the business. Although I still have a few things to get down before I think about this stuff, it’s good to have a blueprint sitting in the back of my mind.
How’s it going for you so far? And are you in a team?
Great video, Brandon. It came from your heart and experiences. Very interesting, thanks.
Interesting! Point 3 - but then you have to hire someone to do your admin - doesn`t that balance out? Just a thought.
I am a new agent so I am going to ask you. What do you mean by outbound lead generation?
Hey Brandon, if I were to get a full time assistant how much would I need to pay them or does it depend?
love your content. I see your list of gear but doubting this was done with the 80D and a gimble or tripod etc. Can you share what you are using?
Hey Brandon, how to find open houses opportunities, besides fellow realtors from my brokerage?
Please tell me why I should leave a inbound for a outbound?
Currently searching for an outbound team in Houston, Tx right now. Any recommendations ?
i tried that, hire an assistant. The problem is how will you pay them? once they are licensed they don't need you anymore as they can earn 100% comm minus the company split.

100% possible. The question is not “if” but “will”. Everyone 100% can succeed, it’s a question of will they do what is necessary to make it happen.
So in that case, can you expound on what's necessary to make it happen?@@BrandonMulrenin
I have an opportunity to join a team like you discussed, but I'd be strictly a buyer's agent. Do you think I should still do it. Or find one that allows me to list?

What are the best 100% commission brokerages in Texas?

Just joined your coaching program.
In my broker 's office I asked to join a team but not one is available

Got out of the industry a few months ago. Couldnt be happier. I didn't enjoy being a salesman or cold calling strangers (FSBOs) from Zillow.
It isn’t for everyone.
What are you doing now?

Start with a job where you are not gouging people every day.

Definitely agree on the 100% commission brokerage! Local, small brokerages are perfect!
