The new team model focuses on being lean, optimizing agents’ time, and marketing in more effective ways. Let’s take a closer look at how this can benefit your business.

Improved Efficiency

The real estate team model allows for improved efficiency in all areas of your business. By having multiple agents on one team, you can get more done in less time since everyone can specialize in their own areas, such as lead generation, listing management, and customer service. This helps ensure that tasks are completed quickly and correctly without sacrificing quality. Additionally, it allows you to focus more on building relationships with clients since there are other agents available to help manage the day-to-day duties of running the business.

Tools That Help With Efficiency

  1. An Effective CRM: Having a CRM that works for “your” team is optimal for business operations. For teams and brokers that are newer, Wise Agent is a great CRM that requires minimal customization. As your team grows and you need a more complex solution, Chime is a great all-in-one marketing and sales tool for high-producing teams.
  2. Home Showing Service: Today’s team leaders and brokers are leaning on home showing services and home showing apps, to help optimize their agents’ efficiency. Without a home showing service your team is using up their time driving 1hr+ for a single showing, they are giving up referrals when they don’t have to because they are too busy to work with clients, and teams are building efficiency by sourcing out tasks like Open Houses, Inspections and Appraisals.
  3. Marketing Content: Creating your own social media, blog, and email marketing can be a rather time-consuming task. Think about every email you set up in your CRM and every social post you and your agents are creating. Creating everything by yourself can take up so much time, which is why companies like Happy Grasshopper exist and can help you create new content. To help support your content, we also advise investing in a review distribution system. Because we all know that reviews make incredible content for emails and social posts. Testimonial Tree (Use code: SHOW10) can help take your reviews to the next level and distribute your reviews across various channels.

Being a Lean Team

A major part of this new team model is having a smaller team that is both cost-effective and efficient. This means you may have fewer agents working for you, but those agents are able to produce more results with their time. Being lean also means being agile; your team should be able to quickly adapt to changing market conditions and capitalize on opportunities as they arise.

This includes creating a team of just agents and admins, eliminating the need for transaction coordinators and internal showing agents. That is because these two jobs no longer need to be part of your company. You’ll no longer need to have full-time workers doing transaction management or home showings because these can be done for less and on a per-use basis.
