The #1 Mistake Agents Make When Starting a Team
After years of coaching agents, I’ve seen this play out more times than I can count:
An agent is producing, they’re busy, and the next step seems obvious—build a team.
But too often, it goes sideways. Fast.
The most common (and costly) mistake?
👉 They hire before they’re ready—and without a real plan.
The Hire That Hurts
They bring someone on, thinking it will give them more time.
What it actually gives them:
A full-time management headache.
A drain on leads they weren’t prepared to share.
Missed listings, missed closings, and missed opportunities.
Instead of multiplying their productivity, the hire slows them down—and costs them thousands.
And the worst part? It could have been avoided.
I’ve Helped Agents Build It Right
On the other side of this mistake are the agents I’ve worked with who chose a different path.
We laid the foundation first: systems, lead flow, expectations, leadership mindset.
We followed a proven framework—one built on the same models that power the most successful teams in the country.
And when they hired? They hired from strength, not stress.
Here’s the Truth
If you don’t have a duplicatable business, you don’t have a team—you have chaos.
But with the right model, your first hire can be a growth engine. A multiplier. A game changer.
Most agents don’t know the model exists. But I do. I’ve used it, coached it, and watched it work again and again.
If you’re ready to build—not just hire—let’s talk.
Your next level isn’t just a hire away. It’s a system away.
