With the housing market booming, some agents may be so busy that they think it might be time to start a team, but not so fast, panelists at Inman Connect Now told attendees on Tuesday.
In a session called, “Are You Ready to Build a Team? 10 Questions You Need to Answer,” moderator Wendy Forsythe, chief brand officer at Fathom Realty and panelists Jackie Soto, broker-owner of team brokerage eHomes in Southern California, and Nick Badalian, a broker at Fathom Realty in the Washington, D.C. area, discussed why they decided to form teams.
“Opportunity,” Soto said, noting that her brokerage started with six agents and now has 121. “We had problems to solve and my problem was the suffering of service to the consumers. I was spread way too thin. I had exhausted all resources.”
