    #11 Questions to Ask Before Starting a Real Estate Brokerage

    Before you spend a single dollar opening a brokerage, I want you to answer these 11 questions. Not to talk you out of it but to make sure you’re not making an expensive, avoidable mistake. I built Best Homes Real Estate from a small team to hundreds of agents and $1.5B in sales… and I still see phenomenal producers open brokerages and lose everything because they never ask the hard questions first. Time Stamps: 0:00 — intro begins (“Before you spend a single dollar…”) 1:09 — Question #1 (“why do you actually want to do this?”) 3:03 — Question #2 (“Do you want to recruit and manage or do you want to sell real estate?”) 4:48 — Question #3 (“How will you generate leads for your agents…?”) 8:19 — Question #4 (“What’s your real startup and monthly overhead number?”) 10:07 — Question #5 (“What makes your brokerage different…?”) 12:40 — Question #6 (“Can you handle the compliance and legal responsibility…?”) 18:45 — Question #11 (“What is your exit strategy?”) 👥 Partner With Me — Let's Build Together: tr.ee/WmCUDt 📅🚀 Join Our Weekly Momentum Builders Zoom — Mondays 10AM MST: tr.ee/aQULsF 📖 Learn More / Resources: 👤 Who is Alan Kushmakov?

    On this episode of BEST Life Builders is a real conversation with Andrea Madison about how she went from survival mode to building teams and producing consistently by surrounding herself with high performers and modeling what works.

    Thinking About eXp Realty? Watch This First

    Hello, I'm Alan Kushmakov, and this is why I decided to make one of the biggest decisions and moved my brokerage to EXP.
