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

    Agents Love You… Then They Leave (Real Estate Retention Wake-Up Call)

    Your agents love you… then they leave. And most team leaders don’t see it coming.  In this episode of Real Estate UnTucked, Brad Allen and Wayne Salmans break down the brutal truth: most teams have an attraction plan… but they don’t have a retention plan.  They unpack why great agents naturally want to grow, why the “buyer-agent math” moment triggers exits, and how to keep top performers by consistently reminding them of value—without guilt trips or ego.Then they get practical: value conversations, one-on-ones, recognition systems, community building, and how to use AI to build a 12-month “care and feeding plan” so your best people don’t quietly walk out the door.⸻🔍 What You’ll Learn• Why most real estate teams recruit well but fail at retention  • The “can we talk tomorrow?” warning sign — and what it really means  • How to explain team value without sounding defensive (math + perceived value)• The retention system: quarterly value talks + monthly one-on-ones + recognition• How to build a “care and feeding plan” so agents feel growth + community (and stay)⸻🕐 Chapters (Starts at 00:00)00:00 – “Your agents love you… then they leave” (retention problem)  00:25 – The dreaded text: “Hey, can we talk tomorrow?”  01:11 – The “buyer agent math” moment (why exits happen)  01:35 – Agents stay for community, growth, and significance (not just split)  02:56 – Side-by-side team vs solo cost breakdown (stop guessing value)  04:58 – “Would you join your team?” (truth test for leaders)  05:15 – Value gap + why support must feel 3X what they pay  07:08 – Infrastructure saves time (hours per listing/buyer) + tech refreshers09:38 – Care & feeding plan: quarterly value conversation + growth check-ins  10:57 – Monthly one-on-ones (no beat downs) + why they matter  11:31 – Recognition + celebrating agents (strategic, consistent)  14:10 – Use AI + survey data to build a 12-month touch plan  15:18 – Final slap: they didn’t leave for money, they didn’t feel appreciated  Support the showReal Estate UnTucked Podcast
