I joined the Todd Tramonte Home Selling Team five years ago, knowing very little about the team and brokerage, and it was the best decision I could have made! I was moving from San Antonio and was part of a good brokerage there, and I had only heard about the TTHST through my brother-in-law.

 

Before I even decided to move to Fort Worth, I had asked him about the commission split TTHST offered. It was quite a bit different from what my San Antonio brokerage offered. I wondered why I would ever agree to THAT split!? Fast forward to me joining the team and seeing the power and results this team delivers, and it’s obvious to me that my income benefits heavily in the end. The training, business support, culture, and life change this team provides are unparalleled, not only real estate but in any industry I have been in.

 

When I first started in real estate, I didn’t know where to begin. How do I build my business? How do I attract new clients? How do I prioritize and manage my time? Before joining the team, I enjoyed my other brokerage, but I was at a loss about how to get my business off the ground, despite that brokerage claiming to offer helpful training.

 

When I joined TTHST, I hit the ground running with clients right out of training. Onboarding set me up for success from the get-go, and the ongoing training helped me to continue growing from there. In my first full year with the team, I earned an income I couldn’t have even imagined earning when I was at my last W-2 job with a company where I had been growing for over 5 years and in a role with much more stress! I couldn’t believe I could make more money doing something that gave me more control over my time, more camaraderie with my co-workers, and more focus on achieving both my business and personal goals.

 

The culture of the TTHST is one of encouraging each other to grow and develop into the best version of ourselves and to focus on using real estate to be a light in people’s lives. I had a client once tell me that every time they worked with an agent in the past, by the end of the transaction, they didn’t like or enjoy their agent anymore. I was the first exception.

 

I credit that to the team's culture, where our mission is to serve others and work hard. That means being the experts in our field and prioritizing what is best for the client. This creates an entirely different experience for clients. We are able to focus on them and their needs rather than desperately looking for our next paycheck like so many of the solo agents who are stuggling at other brokerages. It also makes a difference when the goals we set are not only business-focused, but also spiritually-focused, relationship-focused, health-focused, etc. A well-rounded agent can pour into their clients much more than one whose life is out of whack. It’s hard to take care of others if you can’t take care of yourself.

 

Joining TTHST took a leap of faith, but I am so very grateful that I was welcomed onto this team. It has changed my life in so many ways, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about it!
