Real Estate Teams vs. Owning a Real Estate Brokerage

What are Real Estate teams?

You can develop a real estate team within most brokerages, but it’s difficult to make a real estate team a success story.

As the lead of a real estate team, you’re putting in the extra hours to manage your group, paying rent, doing lead generation and the necessary but tedious office duties, when in reality, you could own your own brokerage and be doing the same exact job-- just with a higher payout.

Often team leads from real estate company already have the mentality and the skills of a broker entrepreneur- the only thing holding them back is they don’t feel ready to manage an office.

If you’re a team lead, you’re putting in most of the work of a broker but reaping the benefits of a team lead.

EXIT Realty Upper Midwest’s Regional Owner, Bill Pankonin elaborates. “Something you can’t get in a real estate team but you can get when you own a brokerage is EQUITY,” Pankonin says.

Just like homeowners build equity when they buy a home, you can build equity in your real estate business that will leave a legacy for your family and loved ones.

Pankonin describes it as this “What you’re building as a broker with EXIT Realty Upper Midwest will continue to grow and leave a legacy for your family and loved ones. I feel secure and safe about the future because I know that  my family will be taken care of because of the work I am doing today.”
