The Big Team Lie That Keeps Real Estate Agents Broke and Exhausted

by | Feb 18, 2025 | Real Estate Coaching

There’s a dangerous lie floating around in the real estate industry—one that’s keeping hardworking agents like you overworked, underpaid, and stuck in an endless cycle of stress.

The lie?

“If you want to make more money, you need to build a big team.”

It sounds great, doesn’t it? Bring on some agents, hire an admin, add a marketing coordinator… and suddenly, you’re scaling! You’re building an empire!

Until reality smacks you in the face.

And you realize you’ve just built a high-overhead, high-stress, low-profit circus.

For a while, it looks like it’s working. You’ve got more deals, more listings, and more closings than ever.

But behind the scenes? You’re grinding harder than ever, putting out fires left and right, and still struggling to take home the kind of money you thought you’d be making.

Because here’s what they don’t tell you about big teams:

  • More agents mean more expenses eating into your profit.
  • More deals mean more headaches, more problems, and more moving parts to manage.
  • More staff means more training, more payroll, and more people looking to YOU for answers.

And at the end of the day… YOU are still the one keeping the whole thing together.

This isn’t a business—it’s a daycare for underperforming agents who want YOUR leads, YOUR deals, and YOUR hard-earned reputation, but don’t want to generate their own business.

The industry glorifies big teams. But let me ask you this:

If big teams are so profitable, why do most of them collapse under their own weight?

Because a bigger team doesn’t mean bigger profits—it just means bigger problems.

I’ve seen it happen again and again.

An agent works their way up, starts making decent money, and thinks, “I need to grow!” So they start hiring. Before they know it, they’re working harder than ever, dealing with more stress, more risk, more drama… and barely taking home more money than when they worked solo.

So if big teams aren’t the answer, what is?

The smartest, most profitable agents don’t build bloated, complicated operations.

They focus on maximizing profit while minimizing complexity.

Here’s how they do it:

  • Lean and Profitable – Instead of hiring an army of agents, they keep their operation small but structured for high-profit margins.
  • Marketing That Works for Them – They stop chasing leads and start using proven marketing strategies that bring the best clients directly to them.
  • High-Value Transactions – They don’t waste time on endless low-profit deals. Instead, they focus on fewer, higher-value transactions that put more money in their pocket with less effort.
  • A Business That Runs Itself – Instead of managing agents who don’t produce, they build systems that allow them to step back, take control, and finally enjoy their business.

If you’re tired of running around managing a team that isn’t making you rich—and you’re ready to build a business that actually serves YOU—I’ve put together something for you.

This is the exact system I teach agents to get rid of the stress, keep more money, and actually enjoy their business again.

Because here’s the truth:

If you think adding more agents is the key to success, you’re setting yourself up for a high-overhead nightmare.
