6 Things to Look For When Choosing A Brokerage

“Making it” in such a competitive industry as real estate can be hard to accomplish operating on your own, especially in a market as active as Toronto’s. Joining a brokerage can help elevate your career by providing you with the support you need to help more clients achieve their real estate goals. Before you decide which brokerage to join, though, read about these six things to look for to make sure you find the right fit.

Training And Resources

Whether you’re new to the industry or you’re a seasoned agent looking to make a career pivot, you need to work at a brokerage that can support you with diverse and comprehensive educational resources, practical industry tools, and expert training from experienced real estate professionals. The key to succeeding in the market is adapting, innovating, and staying ahead, and the help of a supportive team will help you do that and grow your business. At the Lino Arci Team, we provide agents with supports including leading edge selling systems and exclusive marketing tools, along with learning and leadership experiences to help you grow.

Coaching

Guidance at any stage of your career is important because learning from more experienced agents means you’ll avoid making many mistakes and you’ll learn valuable skills to help you perform better and excel your career. Research the brokerage you want to join to make sure it offers some type of mentoring or coaching sessions, and find out who you’ll be learning from to make sure it’s a good fit. Lino Arci leads our team with more than 5,000 homes sold and over three decades in the business, so you’ll be learning from one of the best when you join us.

Like-minded Team

Joining a brokerage with good systems in place to help you professionally is always important, but you’ll also want to ensure the team you’re joining has similar values, goals, and work ethic as you, too. Finding synergy in your work environment is important for you to be able to go the extra mile for your clients and do more business.

Great Culture

If you’re employed full-time, you likely spend most of your day working and/or around your coworkers, so make sure you choose a brokerage that encourages a healthy work culture that you enjoy. Whether it involves weekly traditions to prepare for the workload ahead or regular celebrations to facilitate team bonding, finding a team that makes you feel at home and embodies a culture you believe in is as important as competitive commission or a strong professional network.

Guaranteed Leads and Career Growth

Time is of the essence, especially in real estate, so finding a brokerage that is able to provide you with guaranteed client leads means you can spend more time working with clients instead of trying to find them. With guaranteed leads, you’ll have financial peace of mind, be able to expand your business quicker, and reach your career goals sooner. Agents working with the Lino Arci Team have access to a continuous overflow of potential clients, so you can focus your attention on doing what’s best for your buyers and sellers.

Fair, Transparent Commission Structure

Your compensation should be explicitly explained to you before you join a brokerage so you can decide if it’s worth it to join the team. As a hardworking real estate professional contributing to the company’s growth, you deserve to receive compensation that reflects your value. Make sure whichever team you join offers a fair, competitive commission package.

There are countless brokerages out there, but not all are created equal. They vary in services, size, culture, and compensation, so make sure you research a few of them so you can compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of joining each.

Remember that a great brokerage can either hinder or help the growth of your career, so choose wisely! Learn more about joining the Lino Arci Team here.
