Thinking About Leaving Your Team? There Might Be a Better Way to Grow
If you are on a real estate team and quietly thinking about leaving, you are not alone. Most agents do not wake up one day and randomly decide to jump ship. It usually starts with small things.
You feel capped. You feel under‑supported or over‑controlled. You feel like your growth is not really the priority. You feel like you are building someone else’s business more than your own.
You worry that if you stay, you will stagnate. You worry that if you leave, you will lose momentum, support, or income. That tension is exhausting.
Here is the truth: wanting to grow does not make you disloyal. It makes you a professional.
The real problem is not that you are thinking about leaving a team. The real problem is being in an environment where growth feels like a threat instead of the goal.
On the Shaina McAndrews Team at eXp Realty, we believe something different. We want our agents to grow. Period. Even if that growth eventually means you leave the team to build something of your own, that is not failure here—that is success.
But for many agents, there is a better path than leaving altogether.
You can grow into leadership roles inside the team. That might look like mentoring newer agents, leading a market or niche, helping build systems and training, being part of expansion and getting compensated for it, and building influence and income beyond just your personal production.
Instead of choosing between staying stuck or starting over, you get a third option: grow, lead, and build with us.
We are not afraid of ambitious agents. We are building for them.
We provide:
Clear systems and real support
A culture that rewards contribution and leadership
Opportunities to grow beyond just closing your own deals
Transparency around paths to more responsibility and compensation
A team that does not trap you but helps you evolve
If you are on a team right now and something feels off, it is worth asking yourself a better question.
Not “Should I leave?”
But “What would it look like to be somewhere that actually supports my growth?”
If you want to have a confidential, no‑pressure conversation about what you want next, book a call.
We can talk about where you are, what you want to build, and whether our team is the right place for your next chapter.
