What resources are required to open more offices nationwide? Find out from broker-owner Kendall Butler and Kendrick Realty’s Dan Sundberg onstage at Inman Connect Las Vegas.

Keep your operations and agents separate, meaning each has their own office space, because if you don’t, it’s a massive productivity drain, said Kendall Butler, broker-owner of F.L.I. Properties. Her agents, both salary and commission, start out with the expectation of doing 16 deals their first year, moving up to 30 the second year. A big part of that is the training and experience she provides agents.

The average agent, she said, sells six homes per year. She tells her agents: How can you be an expert if you only do deals six times a year?

Butler joined moderator Christine Kim and Dan Sundberg, director of people and culture with Kendrick Realty Inc., onstage at Inman Connect Las Vegas to discuss the resources and financing required to run a competitive brokerage in today’s climate.
