“When I started my Real Estate career, I started as a solo agent. I did that for 5 months before I decided to join a team. When I was alone I always felt like I didn’t know what to do or say next, and to be honest, had high anxiety from it. Then luckily, my team lead found me and asked me to join his team, and I haven’t looked back since. I feel like I have a little work family now that I can depend on. They are always there for me when I have questions, got me access to the right training, and built my confidence. I can honestly say a big part of how I am the confident agent I am today, is because of them. And I’m forever grateful to them, and how they help me and my clients to this day.”

“Another interesting question in my case. Individual -> Team -> Individual has been my Real Estate journey thus far. I started out on my own, attended training sessions at my brokerage but felt I had more to give and wanted to be busier! I joined a more experienced (busier) agent who took me under his wing. During four years with him, I learned and grew confident in the business.

Every single transaction is unique and working through them together was extremely beneficial and rewarding. This spring I went back to being an independent agent. All of the pieces have fallen into place wonderfully for a successful career. I’ve developed some incredible relationships with agents in the business (including my previous team partner and am grateful for my current collaborative working environment. I go into the office for social connections and am now helping other new agents as they begin their own journey into this business.”

“I work individually, and the reason why I got into real estate was to be my own boss. However, I work quite closely with a few other agents within my brokerage and we do often operate as a team. Definitely helpful to have colleagues that can take care of your clients when away on vacation”

“I am an individual Realtor. I chose to go this route as I was previously self-employed for 16 years. I am grateful that many of my clients from my previous business have reached out for my assistance in buying and/or selling.”

“I work as an individual.  I chose this route because I wanted the freedom to make my own business decisions.  It’s important to me that my clients consistently get my personal touch and not different realtors.“

“Currently, I work as an individual agent which works best for me as I want to continue to help as many people as possible with a personal touch. I would like to hire some buyer agents when the time comes.”

“I work with a team and it was the best decision I could have made as a new agent. I wanted to be surrounded by like-minded individuals that would help me become the best agent I could be. I was looking for support and mentorship and this is exactly what I found with The West Team.”

“I work individually. After spending 12 months working with a team to help learn the industry, I knew I could provide much more value in the market on my own. My goal is to build a team that provides more value to our clients than any other agent in the market.”

“I work as a solo agent. This fits my needs and I am better able to serve my clients. I like to give clients all my attention and ensure we are on the same page. Communicating with one agent enables proper communication and understanding of what the client wants.”
