They were producing. Everything seemed fine.So what actually happened?In this episode, we break down the real reason agents leave teams and it’s NOT what most leaders think.We talk about why recruiting more agents won’t fix your problem, how most teams completely ignore retention, and what you need to start doing if you want agents to stay, grow, and actually build something with you.We also get into what’s happening in the tech space right now and why so many platforms are falling behind faster than ever.If you’re building a team (or planning to), this is a conversation you can’t afford to ignore.We talk about: • Why agents don’t actually leave teams because of money • The real reason your best agents quietly walk away • Why most leaders focus on recruiting instead of retention (and why that’s a mistake) • How to show your value as a team leader without sounding defensive or ego-driven • The importance of growth, community, and recognition in keeping agents • A simple “care and feeding” system to retain and develop your team • Why 1-on-1s and consistent check-ins are non-negotiable • How to build a team people actually want to stay in • What’s happening in the tech space and why most platforms are falling behindChapters:0:00 – Tech is evolving fast (and most platforms can’t keep up)2:11 – Why agents leave teams (the real reason)3:45 – Agents join for knowledge, stay for growth + community5:43 – Showing your value as a team leader (without guilt)7:23 – Would YOU join your own team?9:48 – The hidden value teams actually provide12:26 – Building a real retention system13:19 – Why 1-on-1s are non-negotiable14:26 – Recognition, culture, and keeping agents engaged16:05 – Your “care & feeding” plan for retention#RealEstateUntucked #TeamLeaderLife #LeadershipReality #BusinessGrowth #HighPerformance #EntrepreneurLife ✅ Join Our Mastermind → https://linktr.ee/realestateuntucked📲 Follow Us:Instagram → @realestateuntuckedFacebook → /realestateuntuckedBrad → @bradallenscWayne → @waynesalmans🎧 Listen to Podcast:Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Podcasts → https://www.buzzsprout.com/2426765Support the showReal Estate UnTucked Podcast
