Realtor OKC: Joining Thurman Real Estate Team

In part one of this series, our realtor OKC team talked about many new real estate agents fail when they are starting out alone. We also talked about two reasons that new agents should join a team. Thurman Real Estate Team would certainly agree that being on a team has huge advantages; you can skip over all the heartache of learning on your own and you get a structure to follow. Today, we’ll be going over two more reasons why new agents should join a realtor OKC team.

1.) Leads: When you’re first starting out as an agent, getting leads can often be a difficult task. In fact sources state that the average agent makes less than $20,000 in their first year, because it takes time to become established. Joining a realtor OKC team will help to provide you with leads right away so that you’re not left wondering if you’ll get to work or not. Real estate teams should already have a large volume of properties listed whereas an individual agent may take a while to acquire listings.

2.) Accountability: Leads need to be followed up with in a timely manner and you can bet that, especially if you’re being given leads, that a team would help track your leads. As the name of the game is buying and selling, of course it makes sense that a team would want you to be successful, because if you don’t make money it wouldn’t be good for the team either.

Realtor OKC: Joining Thurman Real Estate Team

Statistics from various sources all around the internet point towards 80-90% of new real estate agents failing within the first 2 to 5 years in the industry. Why do you think this is the case? Perhaps, because truthfully being a smashing success is not actually easy. It takes time to sell enough houses to make a good living, but you don’t have to go at it alone as so many new agents try to do! Joining a successful realtor OKC team is a great way to give your career a boost. Today, in part one of this series, we’ll discuss a few reasons why new agents should join a realtor OKC team.

1.) Mentorship: Going into real estate can have new agents spending a lot of time just trying to learn the ins and outs of the business. Imagine having a head start from a professional realtor OKC team and a broker with the knowledge to help you get past the learning curve a lot quicker. Having “been there and done that” the Thurman Real Estate Team members all know the struggle is real and we’d be available to answer questions for new agents.

2.) Structure: Putting yourself out there as a new agent can be a little scary and no matter how ostentatious you are, if you don’t have consistent marketing and prospecting opportunities, you won’t go very far. The benefit of joining a realtor OKC team such as Thurman Real Estate Team is that teams can provide new agents with a brand name to help with marketing efforts, a sales structure to follow, and possibly help you with your closing process.
