New to Real Estate? Why Teaming Up With Shaina McAndrews and Agent Uplift at eXp Is the Smartest Move Right Now
If you are a new real estate agent, you picked one of the hardest markets in years to get started. That does not mean you picked the wrong career. It means you cannot afford to do it alone.
Right now, buyers are more cautious. Sellers are more selective. Deals are more complex. Clients expect more expertise, more guidance, and more confidence from the agent they choose. And most new agents are being asked to figure all of that out with very little real support. That is a tough way to start a career.
The biggest mistake new agents make is thinking they need to be independent before they are ready. What you actually need is a seasoned partner, real systems, and a clear path to competence and confidence.
That is exactly what we built with the Shaina McAndrews Team and the Agent Uplift organization at eXp.
The reality for new agents right now
This market is not forgiving.
You are competing against experienced agents.
Clients are more educated and more skeptical.
Mistakes are more expensive.
Confidence gaps show up quickly in negotiations and consultations.
Most new agents do not fail because they are lazy. They fail because they are under‑supported at the exact moment they need the most guidance.
What it looks like to start with the right partner
When you join our team and Agent Uplift, you are not starting from zero. You get:
Proven systems for buyers and sellers
Clear processes for contracts and transactions
Real support when deals get complicated
Coaching and accountability so you do not drift
A community of agents who are actually building, not just talking
You are not guessing what to do next. You are learning how to do this business the right way, step by step.
You also get something even more valuable: context.
You learn why things are done a certain way. You learn how to think like an agent, not just follow a checklist. You learn how to protect your clients and your license. You learn how to build trust and run a professional consultation. That kind of learning‑curve compression is everything in your first few years.
Why a seasoned agent matters
Right now, experience is not optional. It is your safety net.
Having a seasoned agent in your corner means:
You avoid common and costly mistakes.
You get better faster.
Your clients get better outcomes.
You build confidence through real wins, not just theory.
You build a reputation instead of repairing one.
You do not need to “fake it till you make it.” You need a partner who has already been through it and can help you navigate it.
Why Agent Uplift changes the game
Agent Uplift is the growth engine behind our team. It is where training meets execution. It is where systems meet accountability. It is where new agents become real professionals.
This is not about watching videos and hoping it clicks. This is about building skills, habits, and confidence in a real environment with real support.
The bottom line
This is a hard market. That is exactly why you should not try to learn it alone. The right team does not limit you. It accelerates you.
If you want to build a real career, learn the business the right way, and have a seasoned partner in your corner, let’s talk.
