The Benefits of Local Mentorship for New Agents (and How Shaina’s Onboarding Accelerates Early Success)
New real estate agents often get a desk, a login, and a “good luck” speech—then are left to figure out everything else on their own. Local mentorship changes that trajectory completely. When new agents partner with a producing mentor who knows their market, systems, and pitfalls, they move from guessing to executing. That is exactly what Shaina McAndrews’ onboarding and mentorship provides.
Why local mentorship matters more than generic training
Generic classes can teach broad concepts, but they rarely address the specifics of a given market. New agents in Montgomery County need guidance on local pricing, typical contract terms, inspection norms, and how buyers and sellers in this area actually behave. Shaina brings real, on-the-ground experience to her mentorship, giving new agents practical scripts, examples, and strategies that reflect how business is done locally instead of just in theory.
A structured onboarding plan instead of trial and error
Instead of leaving new agents to figure out what to do first, Shaina uses a step-by-step onboarding roadmap. This includes setting up their tech, learning how to use the CRM, working through buyer and seller consultation frameworks, and practicing key conversations. New agents know what to focus on each week—building their database, setting appointments, attending showings, or supporting open houses—so they can start generating momentum faster.
Early accountability that builds strong habits
The habits agents build in their first months often determine their long-term trajectory. Shaina combines support with accountability, checking in on activity, reviewing pipelines, and coaching through early deals. This kind of hands-on oversight helps new agents build consistent prospecting and follow-up routines before bad habits form, setting them up for a more sustainable, growth-oriented career.
If you are a newer agent who wants local mentorship, a clear onboarding path, and a partner who is actively invested in your success, schedule a partnership call with Shaina.
