Part 1: 3 Things Agents Should Know Before Joining a Real Estate Team

—And Why the Right Team Can Change Everything—

Are you brand new to real estate and wondering if a team is really worth it?
Or maybe you’ve been there, done that, and felt unsupported, used, or misled?

Here’s what we wish every new agent knew before joining a real estate team—and why The Ramsey Team, powered by PLACE, might just be the breath of fresh air you’ve been looking for.

🔑 1. You Need More Than a License—You Need a Launch Plan

The freedom of a real estate career is what draws most people in… but it’s also the very thing that can crush you without the right structure.

❝ As much as entrepreneurs rebel against being placed in a box, a brand-new agent needs a proven business plan—especially in their first 6–12 months. ❞

Overanalyzing and second-guessing your strategy is a fast track to burnout. The abundance of options out there makes it easy to keep changing direction and wondering why nothing is working.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Consistency is everything
✅ But you can’t be consistent if you don’t trust your plan
✅ And you won’t trust your plan without mentorship and support

At The Ramsey Team, we give every new agent a proven playbook for success—then walk alongside you with personalized coaching and accountability so you can actually implement it. No more guessing. No more stalling.

🚫 2. Not All Real Estate Teams Are Created Equal

We hear this all the time:

“If I have to do all the work anyway, why would I give up part of my commission?”

Fair question—especially if you’ve been burned by a team before.

Most teams bring agents on to offload the work the owner no longer has time for. There’s no mentorship. No structure. Just leads, branding, and burnout. These models don’t serve the agent—they serve the team leader’s personal production.

But The Ramsey Team is different.
We don’t “hire agents”—we partner with them.

💬 We call our agents “agent partners” because we’re in it together. And if you ever choose to build your own brand and move on, we celebrate that. We help you launch from a strong foundation we built together—not one we kept for ourselves.

With support from PLACE, a nationally recognized platform backed by Goldman Sachs, we’re able to offer:

• 💼 Business coaching + implementation support
  
  
• 🛠️ Done-for-you marketing & operations
  
  
• 🧾 Transaction + compliance support to help you get paid faster
  
  
• 🧠 Coaching in personal development and mindset mastery
  
  
• 🩺 Access to group health insurance (the real kind)
  
  
• 📈 The opportunity to earn into pre-IPO company stock
  
  

We don’t just help you close more deals—we help you build a real, sustainable business that funds the life you want to live.

💛 3. Growth Happens When You're Surrounded by the Right People

Let’s be honest—real estate can feel really lonely. But it doesn’t have to.

When you’re surrounded by people who truly want you to win, your confidence grows faster than your production.

✨ We’re not just a team. We’re a family that prays together, shows up for one another, and celebrates the wins—big or small—side by side.

Need help laying plastic in your new listing to protect the seller’s carpet? We’re there.
Can’t hang your Christmas lights because of a health issue? We’ll be at your house with a ladder.

And the best part?
You won’t always have to ask the team owner for support—because your teammates are already pouring into you.

🙋‍♀️ So… Is This Team for You?

We’re not for everyone—and we’re okay with that.

If you’re someone who:

• Is coachable and hungry to learn
  
  
• Knows how to show up (even when it's hard)
  
  
• Cares about growth—in business and as a human
  
  
• Wants to serve clients with excellence, integrity, and humility...
  
  

…then we’d love to talk.

At The Ramsey Team, we’re building more than just real estate businesses. We’re building legacies—with people we’d gladly do life with.
