To get a feel for our readers’ experiences with the real estate team phenomenon, we asked them to take a short survey, starting with a simple question:

Why did you want to join a real estate team?

“I wanted more effective representation for  clients and access to contacts.”

“I wanted to create one because I enjoy mentoring.”

“I created a team after a 30 under 30 Networking  event, where many successful agents informed me  of the benefits of having a team.”

“Honestly, agents asked to join  me, and my team was born!”

“I wanted to expand.”

“I started my team so I could  have an ‘exit’ plan.”
