The Best Real Estate Agents Are Like Ducks…

The real estate market has seen some ups and downs lately, and even with the craziness of our recent merger with Epique Realty, our agents have never lost sight of what matters most: creating amazing experiences for clients as they navigate the complex world of buying or selling a home. Cambria and I feel honored to support these talented agents from behind the scenes.

Some people think being a real estate agent is easy – unlock a few doors, write a contract, and rake in the commission, right? Wrong!

This is a tricky business – 63% of agents quit in their first year, and almost 9 out of 10 leave before year three.

The best agents are like ducks. Above the water, they are calm and graceful, but below the surface, they are paddling like crazy!

Cambria and I love our work and the people we serve.

Cambria often fields calls from agents late into the night and early in the morning, seeking support as they advocate for their clients.

While we are both trained Performance Coaches, I focus on helping agents manage burnout, find fulfillment, and care for themselves, while Cambria handles the day-to-day.

Our agents trust us because we've built relationships over time—it's a true honor that they share so much with us.

Let's celebrate some of our standout performers this month and year. While sales numbers are significant, they merely reflect our agents' immense efforts to balance client needs with personal lives.

Shelby Tidd: Mom to four (including her husband!), Shelby is a force to be reckoned with and brings both intensity and a sense of humor to her work. No wonder her clients love her!

Natalya Romanov: Another super-mom of four, Natalya handles it all with style. Do not be fooled by her quiet focus – I have learned to watch for the twinkle in her eye right before she cracks a hilarious crack, usually poking fun at me!

Justin Thoet: A true hustler with a big heart! Justin's mentorship of new agents proves his commitment to helping others succeed. Cambria and I are so proud to see him learning the importance of self-care, too. I'm looking forward to those pedicure bro-dates!

Kiaya Henry: Our daughter Kiaya was warned we would not give her special treatment. We are happy to say she has risen to the challenge, working incredibly hard and earning the respect of her peers.

Emily Maximus: Another dynamic young agent, Emily's drive and grace are impressive. She is another powerhouse in our group, exuding grace and a passion for mentoring her peers early in her career.

Cambria and I feel blessed to work alongside these incredible agents and everyone at Haven/Epique Realty.

We are united in our mission to be the best while uplifting each other. It's a beautiful environment where we eagerly anticipate each day in the office, ready to support our agents' journeys.

His 'Purpose and Profits' event is a chance to forge connections that matter, with conversations that spark and inspire, not the ones that drain your enthusiasm.

EGO: The Real Estate Career Killer 🚫💼

Real estate is not just about selling homes; it is about mastering a challenging craft and facing one's ego head-on. 🏡💪

With a staggering 62% of agents bowing out in the first year and 90% within three years, it is evident this industry isn't for everyone. 💔

But here is the twist: At Haven Real Estate Group, we have rewritten the story. An impressive 65% of our agents soar into their second year and beyond, all thanks to abundant high-quality leads, unmatched mentorship, and a culture that celebrates humility, growth and contribution. 🌱🚀

Did you know? One of the globe's leading real estate firms crunched the numbers in 2022 and found something intriguing. Agents switching to Haven from other firms see their sales skyrocket by over 100% on average.

But those who leave? They face a jaw-dropping 60% plunge in production. It is not just data; it is a glaring reminder of the dangers of letting ego cloud potential. 📉📈

⁉️ So, why do some agents bid farewell to Haven? ⁉️

It often starts with a boom. Immersed in a nurturing environment, they flourish. But as their bank accounts swell to a cozy six-figure sum, complacency sneaks in.

Those once-regular weekly meetings become hit-or-miss. Skill-building sessions often get skipped. And, personal growth becomes left to the sidelines. 🛑

The aftermath? A dip in sales that's hard to miss. While some agents spot the trend and dive back into growth mode, others drift away. They leave the firm, see their sales dwindle, and, with bitterness in tow, many bow out of the industry. 😢

It's heart-wrenching for us, especially when agents, blinded by unchecked ego, cast our brokerage in a negative light.

But Cambria and I get it. It's like being upset with teens for just being teens.

Our real sorrow stems from watching individuals brimming with promise let ego stifle their growth. 💔

If Haven's on your radar, pause and reflect. 🤔

⁉️ Are you all in for growth?

⁉️ Ready to hustle, even when challenges loom?

Think of it like this: Would you embark on a fitness journey, only to ditch it at the first hint of results? 🏋️‍♂️

Before you even think of joining the Haven family, have a heart-to-heart with yourself.

Are you up for lifelong growth and the hurdles that tag along?

If the answer's a resounding 'yes', gear up for an exhilarating ride. Not just for our leads, support, or our dedicated, non-competing performance-coach owners. Not even for our vibrant culture.

Join Haven to break barriers and soar to heights you've only dreamt of. Let's journey together, with egos in check and potential at full throttle. 🌟🚀
