Real Estate Teams
Given the obvious challenges with the housing market and the sheer number of agents in every market, high-growth real estate teams rely on their team more than nearly any other company out there. With no proprietary inventory to speak of and a hyper competitive market, real estate brokers must recruit, reward, and retain their sales and support teams to ensure maximum client service and the good will of their name.
The real estate industry includes a variety of complex HR issues, ranging from 1099 agent relationships to commission and compensation agreements and unique scheduling issues related to a business that never stops. The importance of customer service and professionalism cannot be overstated in a business where clients can literally choose from over 100 agents through a simple strike of the search button on Google.
In addition to using a formal screening process that ensures that potential hires have the same focus as our broker clients, EctoHR supports the pre-boarding process with clear and consistent communication of position expectations. As our real estate teams grow, we plan and implement sound compensation and agent/employee practices that incent productivity while protecting the business. While most people do not want to talk about it, there needs to be similar planning during the exit phase of the relationship in order to have the least amount of impact to the productivity and reputation that has been built over a long time of hard work.
Whether you're a three-person team looking to grow by another agent or a 25-agent team needing to add support staff, you can rely on EctoHR's experience and expertise to provide real solutions to the real challenges in real estate.
