Your situation
Where are you right now?
Each situation below is one circumstance a practice can be in. Where an answer is written, it links; where it is not yet, it says so.
When something breaks
What do you do when it breaks?
Your kids do not want the brokerage. Your strongest agent wants the people, not the license.
Retire from a brokerage without selling it: the honest options, and the one that keeps your people together.
How Do I Retire From My Real Estate Brokerage Without Selling It? →I have not taken a real vacation in years. The last time I tried, the phone never stopped.
How a leader gets six weeks off: the two halves of a real estate business, the honest options, and the one that keeps the leads coming while you are gone.
How Do I Run a Real Estate Brokerage and Still Take Six Weeks Off? →My strongest agent just left, and took two others with her.
The first seventy-two hours after your strongest agent leaves: what is yours, what your options are, and what to ask before you counter-offer.
What Do I Do When My Top Agent Leaves My Brokerage? →
I want out in a few years, without abandoning 30 years of clients.
A paid, gradual handoff. Your clients stay served, you get referral checks for years.
Retiring →
I am doing 20 deals a year alone and I have hit a wall.
Keep your clients and your brand. Plug into a team's support instead of hiring your own.
Growing →
I built a team and now I run a job I cannot leave.
Fold your team in. Keep producing or step back, on your timeline.
Team leaders →My brokerage just sold. I need a home this week.
Producing agent? Live here in 72 hours, listings and pipeline included.
Displaced →I still close deals, but I am thinking about quitting.
Before you quit, see your production with the admin, marketing and leads carried.
Burned out →I am a proven agent, new to Houston, with zero sphere here.
Your skills, our leads and our reputation. No starting over.
Relocating →Three years in, six closings. I know I am better than this.
Leads and coaching that checks the work. Honest fit rules, written on the page.
Stuck →I own a small brokerage and the back office is not worth it anymore.
Keep your identity and your clients. Shed compliance, E&O and desk costs.
Broker owners →The fees changed, the leads dried up, and my brand is not my brokerage's brand.
What you keep, what changes, and how the move runs, by brokerage.
Leaving a franchise →I sell enough to need help and I do not want a payroll.
Lead a squad inside a structure that already exists. No staff, no overhead.
Building a team →I want half the hours and most of the income.
A smaller book, fully served, with the team carrying the rest.
Cutting back →I want my independence back without going it alone.
Join Real Brokerage on your own name, with a sponsor who answers the phone.
Leaving a team →I pay a portal a share of every deal and I am renting my business.
Leads from sites the team owns, routed to you, no referral fee to a portal.
Leads too expensive →I let my license go inactive and I want back in with support.
Reactivate, pick a sponsoring broker, and start with appointments on the calendar.
Returning →I am at a 500-agent office and nobody knows my name.
You run your own practice, and everyone on the team knows your name and your work.
At a big office →I have not had a real conversation with my broker in years.
You talk to the people who run this team, by name. The first call is twenty minutes.
No broker contact →I was told to learn five platforms. I use two.
A short list of tools the team actually uses, and what each one takes off your week.
Tool overload →Just licensed? We rarely take brand-new agents. What we look for: full-time, coachable, and at least a year of closings behind you. If that is not you yet, the blog is free and it will get you closer.
