Top 5 Reasons Experienced Agents Make the Switch to Our Team
Let’s be honest — experienced agents don’t make moves lightly.
By the time you’ve built up years in the business, you’ve:
Established a client base.
Found your rhythm in lead generation.
Gotten comfortable with your market.
So, if you’re thinking about switching teams (or brokerages), something isn’t working — or you’ve realized there’s a ceiling on how far you can go where you are.
When experienced agents join the Shaina McAndrews Team here in Montgomery County & Philadelphia, it’s not because they’re starting over. It’s because they want to scale up — faster, smarter, and with more support.
Here are the top five reasons they make the move.
1. They Want More Growth Without More Burnout
The biggest challenge for established agents isn’t getting clients — it’s managing all the moving pieces without drowning.
You’ve got:
Showings to schedule
Offers to write
Listings to launch
Marketing to keep consistent
Paperwork (so much paperwork)
Even with a healthy business, the workload can keep you from growing any further.
What We Do Differently:
Transaction coordination so you can focus on clients, not deadlines.
Marketing packages that make every listing look polished without you spending hours in Canva.
Proven systems for client onboarding, follow-up, and post-closing touches.
This means you can increase your volume without sacrificing your evenings, weekends, or sanity.
2. They Want a Stronger Local Presence
If you’re in Montgomery County or Philadelphia, you already know — this is a competitive market. There are plenty of skilled agents, which means you need a clear and compelling value proposition to stand out.
Our team combines:
Local market expertise (we know the neighborhoods, the pricing trends, the hidden gems).
Consistent branding that positions you as a top-tier professional.
Community presence through events, sponsorships, and networking.
We don’t just work the market — we’re in it. That visibility boosts our agents’ credibility instantly.
3. They’re Ready for Multiple Income Streams
One of the most overlooked perks of joining our team is how we integrate eXp Realty’s wealth-building opportunities into your business plan.
We help experienced agents:
Tap into revenue share by attracting other quality agents.
Earn stock awards through production and growth.
Continue building commission income while creating long-term assets.
If you’ve been in real estate for years without a plan for retirement or passive income, this changes the game.
4. They Want a Collaborative Culture (Not Just Competition)
Let’s face it — in some brokerages, the “team” is more like a collection of solo agents who happen to share a logo. There’s no real collaboration, no idea-sharing, and no one watching your back.
We’ve built the opposite:
We swap strategies that are working in real time.
We celebrate each other’s wins.
We jump in to help with showings, open houses, and problem-solving.
It’s not just more fun this way — it’s more profitable. Collaboration creates better service for clients, which leads to more referrals for everyone.
5. They Want Direct Mentorship from Someone Who’s Actively Producing
This is a big one. Some “team leaders” haven’t personally sold a home in years — which makes it hard for them to coach you through today’s market realities.
I’m in the trenches with my agents. I know:
How to navigate multiple-offer situations in Conshohocken.
What it takes to sell a historic home in Chestnut Hill.
How to talk to buyers about SEPTA station proximity in the suburbs.
When you join us, you get direct, relevant mentorship — not recycled scripts from a training manual.
The Before & After of Making the Switch
Here’s what I’ve seen over and over when experienced agents join our team:
Before:
Consistent production, but stuck at the same income level for years.
Marketing and admin eating up too much time.
Feeling like they’ve plateaued.
After:
Production jumps within 6–12 months (without longer work hours).
Stronger local presence and brand recognition.
Multiple income streams in motion.
More time for family, hobbies, and actual vacations.
