Richmond Hill Ga homes for sale- Pain in Weakness Leaving the Team

Pain is Weakness leaving the Team

You have all heard the statement   ‘slow to hire, quick to fire’.   The real estate profession is an ever evolving and changing business. We work long hours, we work weekends, we miss family functions at times. We work when other don’t.  So because we put so much into this job, we need to make sure that we surround ourselves with the right people. You did not hear me say surround yourselves with like-minded people. But the right people.  Working with a buyer or Seller is really just the finish part of a long process. We have to cultivate the relationship. Your Team must learn the buyer or seller.  What make a Great Real Estate Agent from a good one is this process of learning and knowing the client.  Not everyone can do this effectively  .

     Your team needs to be diverse with ideas and opinions but must have one goal making the Team better.  I have a Lead Agent who is a great part of my team that sees life on a different level. He has often surprised me with his take on a person or situation. There is no right answer sometimes just a way to see things differently.  Many times I have had to talk him down from a ledge, and he has done the same thing for me. I am scared for the day that we unite with disdain toward a situation. Strap in!!!

I just had to let a team member go. I had many conversations with this person prior to hiring her and thought that she would be a great fit, I was wrong, After 100 days I knew this wasn’t the place for her. She did not fit in. Nothing wrong with her. She did not live up the expectations that we laid out in our conversations prior to her coming on board.   You have to have the right team members in the right positions.  I heard that Talent sometimes takes time to reveal itself.  But you have to know if a person is talking a good game or will be able to perform on the playing field. She did not have that passion. The Pain of letting a team member go is less than the pain of keeping them on for the long haul. The cost of a bad hire can be very large and painful.
