The Bottom Line

Join our team if you want:
  • Leads without paying for marketing upfront
  • Mentorship and a proven system to follow
  • Faster path to your first (or next) closing
  • Team culture and built-in accountability
Go solo if you:
  • Already have a strong sphere and referral base
  • Want 100% control over your brand and schedule
  • Are self-motivated and don't need external accountability
  • Prioritize keeping every dollar over support systems

Not sure which path is right for you? Let's talk. We'll give you an honest assessment based on your experience, goals, and situation—even if that means recommending you go solo.
