When they perform surgeries, for instance, they don’t also act as their own assistants. And after the operation concludes, they don’t step in as the nurse and oversee a patient’s recovery.

Real estate teams are likely to continue increasing in popularity, and to see their profits grow, in the future even as brokerages themselves see their margins compressed.
That, at least, was the takeaway from a Tuesday panel at Inman Connect Now dubbed Where Teams Go From Here. The panel featured Adelina Rotar, a team leader with Ben Kinney Companies in Texas, and Wilson Leung, a team leader with Own Real Estate in California. Vija Williams, director of growth at Ben Kinney Companies, moderated the conversation.

“We need to collectively work together towards the common good of the industry and that has never been done yet,” Wong said. “But because there are so many threats to disruption, at the end of the day, the big brokerages, the legacy brands, the large independents have to figure out a way to come together for industry preservation.”
