This YouTube clip (speaker: Lars Hedenborg) warns that joining a real estate team led by leaders who 'cherry-pick' can ruin an agent's experience and career. Lars advises prospective team members to speak directly with current team members and demand transparency before joining, and cautions against joining solely because the team has a top producer.

Yeah, Team leaders who cherry pick. They're going to ruin your experience of being on a real estate team and probably your experience of being a Realtor. So a really easy way of avoiding this seems simple, but people don't do it. Speak to the team members and get some transparency before you join. Don't just join a team because they have a top producer, which is a trap a lot of Realtors fall into.
