How does Real Trends define a team vs a solo agent? 🤔 #realestateteam

There are two differences between an agent and a team.

An MLS could have a rule, your state could have a rule. Virginia has some really interesting rules about what constitutes a team. We try and operate with a common denominator of a set of rules across the country. If you are an individual agent, you can have one licensed assistant that is handling administrative functions, but is not doing core functions of an agent. Anyone that is producing transactions or is in a role where they're attempting to be a producing member of the team, we count them as a member of the team. The other element that trips you into a team category is if you publicly present yourself as a team. If you call yourself a team, you are a team. It is just a hard, fast rule. Every year after rankings, there is inevitably people that slip through the cracks. And we go back to their website and it says the Mark Adams team. And we have to tell Mark Adams that even though he's a single person, he's presenting himself as a team. So we are moving him to the team category and a small team dive.
