How are you preparing for a potential economic slowdown? Ryan Serhant: I got into the real estate industry in 2008 the day Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. I started my company during the height of COVID while everyone was leaving New York City. Market slow downs end up finding me just fine. I’ve found that opportunity doesn’t disappear in an economic slowdown, it just looks different. We’re continuing to operate the same way we always have, with strategic growth as the overall goal but continuing to focus on ensuring our agents and teams have the resources they need to do their jobs at the highest levels.

Torn between working as a solo agent or joining a team? Here are some key factors to consider for joining a real estate group. 💡 ✅ Collaboration ✅ Opportunity ✅ Partnership ✅ Mentorship ✅ Long term Growth ✅ Income ✅ Accountability ✅ Shared cost of failure Elevate your career with us at Real Home Experts Team! ✨ DM us today for more information. 📩 •• 🏠Real Home Experts  ☎️519-503-5828 📍Real Broker Ontario 📧[email protected] •• #JasonOkeefeRealtor #JasonOKeefeRealEstate #RealEstateWithJason #RealHomeExperts #RealBrokerOntario #OntarioRealEstate #YourHomeJourney #BuyAndSell  #workwithRHE

New Real Estate Agents, the quickest way to success is by joining a great team at a reputable brokerage. Team leaders need members because they have more business than they can handle and have systems in place to keep generating new clients. 📈 By joining a team, you'll close more deals, gain invaluable experience, and learn how to generate your own clients. Yes, the team leader takes a portion of the commission, but the income and experience you'll gain make it worth it. 💼 On your own, you might close 10 deals a year and spend heavily on marketing. On a team, you can double your closings, spend nothing on marketing, and gain twice the experience. It just makes sense! 🤝 #RealEstate #RealtorLife #JoinATeam #CareerGrowth #RealEstateTips #NewAgentAdvice #Teamwork #BrokerageSuccess

❗BIG NEWS AND LIFE UPDATE❗ These past three years in Real Estate have been absolutely incredible - full of mountains and plenty of valleys. The Lord has taught me many lessons, especially when it comes to TRUST. I know the structure of a real estate firm isn't as known to the general public as it is to people inside the industry, but Jordan and I have essentially been the only members running our operation. We've been at different brokerages, but brokerages are mainly "support" that help propel your own individual business. We now reside at Magnolia Realty Grapevine, brokered by the incredible Theresa Mason. The staff and back-end support here at Magnolia is world-class, and is one of the leading causes for our recent success. And now comes the update: We are building a team here at Magnolia Realty, and are looking for Realtors to join us. I currently receive about 3-5 leads nearly every single day from a variety of avenues, and we need some help off-loading the lead flow. Additionally, I believe my 3 years of real estate have taught me an immense amount. I've been involved in a variety of aspects in the "real estate ocean" as I call it, including residential, commercial, investments, hedge funds, etc. Because of this, I believe I'm equipped to teach and train agents that are desiring success in this field. Here's what makes this opportunity different: The heart of this expansion is not for growth's sake. The heart is take the gifts the Lord has given me, and use them in a way that gives him Glory. Success doesn't look like a number figure, but if through this we respond to the Lord's will in the day to day. And right now I believe this is the best next step. What you will receive: - Consistent lead flow - Mentorship and training - Opportunities for professional development - The Magnolia Brand and entire back-end team behind you, adding jet fuel to your current business + more! So if you're a real estate agent, or are thinking about getting into real estate, please reach out to me to learn more about the opportunity! I believe this could be the start of something truly incredible, and I'd be honored to have you along for the mission. My phone number: (972) 974-1821 My email address: [email protected]

"I will never be in commercial real estate." That's what I told my dad after he had me knee-deep in leases and property management as a kid. Funny how life takes a turn, right? After grad school, craving something more entrepreneurial, guess what? I became the very thing I vowed to avoid - a commercial real estate broker! My early days in the industry were a whirlwind. Working with a mentor, Bruce Lauer, I dove into tenant rep. I found my true passion not in closing deals but in building the business itself. That was my "aha!" moment. It set me on a path where I could impact others, shaping careers and driving success. This journey taught me one crucial lesson: Embrace the unexpected. Your greatest passion might just be hiding where you least expect it. So to those brokers out there feeling stuck or unsure - remember, sometimes the path you're avoiding is where you're meant to thrive! #CRESuccess #businessgrowthstrategy #commercialrealestatebrokers

”Should I stay or should I go?“ As December rolls in, many agents reflect on their year and contemplate their next move. For me, joining Real Broker was a surprisingly quick and straightforward decision—one that might surprise some! Having switched brokerages several times, I know firsthand how stressful, costly, and emotionally charged this process can be. Yet, I’ve loved every team I’ve been a part of because they were exactly what I needed at that moment in my personal and professional journey. With almost 22 years in the industry and experience at 11 different brokerages (yes, you read that right!), I’ve seen it all—from solo agents to mega teams, local boutiques to international luxury brands. Choosing a brokerage is a lot like picking a car; they all get you from point A to B but offer different features. I’ve always selected brokerages based on where I could thrive and best serve my clients. When I first moved to Toronto, I didn’t have connections or a familiar name, so I sought out brokerages with impressive brands. As I grew and evolved, I found I needed that branding less and less. I realized I was spending hundreds of thousands a year without gaining significant value. It was time for a change! For my team and me, a cloud-based model works wonders. I may be Gen-X, but I’ve found the tech easy to navigate, and the support from management has been incredible. Some might ask, “Don’t you need to recruit?” The truth is, every brokerage encourages attracting agents. I’m a REALTOR first and foremost, focused on my clients. If I’m happy and thriving, why wouldn’t I want my realtor friends to experience the same? Change leads to growth, and I’m excited about where this journey is taking me. If you’re considering a move, ask yourself: “Where can I thrive?”
