The warning signs an agent may leave your brokerage — and what to do about them
Findings suggest retention requires more than monitoring sales and adjusting commission structures
Real estate brokerages, including those specializing in residential and commercial properties, often focus on sales performance and commission structures when trying to retain top agents. However, according to recent findings, there may be more to agent retention than just numbers. Identifying warning signs that an agent may be considering leaving can help brokerages take proactive steps to address concerns and keep their top talent.
Some of these warning signs may include decreased motivation, lack of engagement with team meetings or training sessions, and reduced communication with colleagues and management. Agents may also start to explore opportunities with competitors or express dissatisfaction with current brokerage policies. By recognizing these signs, brokerages can take steps to address underlying issues, such as providing additional support or resources, offering more flexible commission structures, or simply having open and honest conversations with agents about their concerns.
