Life as an independent agent vs. joining the Shaina McAndrews Team
Many agents start their careers as independents, piecing together systems, marketing, and training from different sources. While this can work, it often leads to inconsistent income, burnout, and a constant feeling of “starting over” each month. Joining the Shaina McAndrews Team offers an alternative: a structured environment with proven systems, leads, mentorship, and support designed to help agents grow faster and with less guesswork.
The reality of being independent
Independent agents enjoy flexibility and control—but they also carry the full responsibility for lead generation, marketing, client care, transaction management, and business planning. Without strong systems, many independents spend most of their time reacting to whatever is most urgent instead of executing a clear growth plan. This can result in inconsistent closings, uneven client experiences, and difficulty scaling beyond a few deals a year.
What changes when you plug into Shaina’s systems
On the Shaina McAndrews Team, agents step into ready-made systems for prospecting, follow-up, appointment setting, listing and buyer workflows, and transaction management. Instead of reinventing everything alone, agents plug into proven processes and focus their energy on high-value activities like conversations, showings, and negotiations. Shaina’s structure creates clarity around daily priorities so agents know exactly what to do to move their businesses forward.
Leads, accountability, and mentorship under one roof
Shaina’s team model blends opportunity with accountability. Agents gain access to leads and opportunities generated through team marketing efforts, but they also receive coaching, tracking, and regular check-ins to ensure those leads are being converted. Mentorship comes in the form of script work, deal troubleshooting, and business planning, so agents are never left guessing how to handle a situation or grow to the next level.
Support that protects your time and energy
Having a team and systems behind you means you do not have to carry every detail alone. From templates and checklists to recommended tech tools and vendor relationships, Shaina’s team environment lightens the administrative load and reduces decision fatigue. This allows agents to spend more time in conversations and activities that actually generate income—and more time outside of work with their families.
If you are tired of trying to build everything alone and want to experience what it is like to operate inside a proven structure, schedule a private conversation about joining the Shaina McAndrews Team.
