Short YouTube conversation from Real Estate Team OS where Drew advises agents to thoroughly interview multiple brokers (he interviewed 23) before choosing a brokerage. The clip emphasizes asking tough questions, negotiating terms, avoiding laziness, and not accepting the first offer — diligence in broker selection prepares agents for fieldwork.
Hey, if you're thinking about joining a new team or a new brokerage, you need to listen up.
When I got into the business, I interviewed 23 brokers. When you interview brokers, do not be bashful about asking hard questions and putting them on the spot. You're not there trying to win them over. They need you. That's one thing about the misalignment of the broker model that works in agents favors. They need you. They've got to recruit you or their business doesn't work. So you can put them on the spot and you can ask them hard questions and you can beat them up. You can negotiate with them, and you should. It's good practice for when you get out in the field. What you can never do in real estate and be good at it is be lazy. And that starts with finding your broker. Going with the first broker or first team you talk to, probably a mistake. Even if you talk to 10 brokers and you end up going back to that first one, at least you know why you're going back there.
