Lessons from Path & Post on Going Independent

By
Real Estate Technology with 855-419-6019

There’s that radical thought in your head. “What if …” You left your franchise. Or maybe you realized your franchise is holding you back with their systems and processes. For whatever reason, you’re curious to know if the grass is greener, so let me tell you about Path & Post, a boutique brokerage in Atlanta, GA.

 

Path & Post Real Estate left their franchise last year and is crushing it in the North Metro Atlanta area. How did they do it? How are they still doing it?

 

Consistency, branding, and a keen local take on things.

 

The results? Their independent business is booming, agents love working there, and clients keep coming back for more! Listen to how they set their business up for success. All episodes were previously aired on our Closers Podcast series.

I did not go into a partnership.  I like being sole owner and sole decision maker

Providing the integrity and service you deserve.

Leaving my big name real estate company and moving to a much smaller local company was hard enough for me but haven't regretted it one minute. Congratulations and much more success.

Stimulating post.

I believe people function best and find the most success when they know who they are. Trying to be something that is not you is difficult.

Then you find the place that best lets you be yourself.

I was using the franchise as a "mental crutch" for about ten years... broke those chains four years ago and happy I did!

The experience to get you to the other side!

Non-franchise is always the way to go.  The franchise owners and the fees will eat you alive and they make you think you can't do without them.

"Going on my (our) own" was the reason I earned my Brokers license in 2011, yet here I still sit, hanging my license at an international franchise. I am encouraged that so many folks have done really well on their own. I'd still like to do so myself, but without the 100% support of team members (mine happens to be my wife!), it will be "business as usual".  Thanks for the share; great post!

I am fortunate enough to work with the Path & Post team as a preferred lender. They are a fantastic group of like-minded folks.

If you are small, franchises are expensive and if lots of agents to train, get big enough and have your inhouse training. Good luck!

We were with the giant company for years and broke away in 2016 and started our own office.  LOVE.  IT.  

Some people have wished us luck starting over.  It's not about starting over.  Our loyal clients for the last 10 years all came with us.

I think big offices are good for new agents that need the training.  We're not that and are very happy to finally be on our own.

Soe agents do well on their own and others fall flat.  Lots of work to set up your own brokerage and much responsibility.  A well thought out plan is the key!
