States & Brokers. At Connect Realty, the Agent associates are the company's recruiting mechanism.   Each State has a designated broker and an administrative staff to process agent applications, the day to day.  Some also sponsor a training center as well.  Coupled with that, local brokerages have been replaced by real estate teams, headed by a team leader who also is the teams recruiter.

Recruiters.  All associates of Connect Realty have the freedom to recruit (also known as sponsor) new agents into the company.  This process is the source of our industry leading residual income stream.   By becoming a recruiter, you assume the additional responsibility of being the team leader for those you recruit.  Exceptions can be made by special request however,  Most recruiters recruit only within their own geographical area.  Others, have chosen to recruit in other areas of their State.

Recruiting agents to be part of your Connect Realty team, can be a major source of income for agents, providing they recruit agents who are capable of closing transactions --- at least 3-4 a year.  Your core team members should be achieving the industry average of 6 sales a year.  While you should also have a smaller segment of your team who achieve over 50% of your teams overall business.  You can expect to also have a small segment of agents who are struggling and may need some assistance and understanding at the same time. 

Team Leaders.  Being a team leader is a serious responsibility.  As such, you are assuming a committment to train, motivate, and lead your team by example.  Team leaders have total freedom to who to recruit or not to recruit into their team. 

The more successful team leader will have exceptional leadership, communications, and inter-personal relationship skills; capable of balancing their time and effort to achieving their own personal goals, while also supporting the needs of the team members. 

The team leader needs to be able to delegate responsibility to others, and to literally train others to be team leaders themselves.  The team leader needs to be capable of reacting to immediate situations in a professional expedient way.    
The team leader needs to be pro-active and be the teams most enthusiastic cheerleader; a team leader thinks out of the box and surrounds themselves with people loyal to the team, and loyal to the team building mission.
