Every brokerage owner knows the pressure: grow your agent count, grow your brand. Recruiting is positioned in our industry as the magic solution to everything - more agents means more market share, more deals, and more revenue… right? Not necessarily.

If you own or manage a small to mid-sized brokerage in Ontario, chances are you wear more hats than you’d like - Broker of Record, recruiter, trainer, tech support, deal auditor, and sometimes even agent.

Running a brokerage can feel like spinning ten plates at once - managing agents, marketing, compliance, client issues, and financials. But there’s one plate that often gets dropped without anyone noticing: accountability.

Every brokerage wants more agents. But simply adding names to your roster doesn’t build a strong team - and chasing agent count without a clear strategy often leads to disappointment, wasted time, and turnover. Bringing agents in through the front door only to have other agents leave through the back door keeps you on the treadmill without gaining ground.

Your admin staff might be your brokerage’s most underutilized asset - or your greatest operational risk. In many small to mid-sized brokerages, the team behind the scenes is undertrained, overwhelmed, or unclear on expectations. And when systems break down, it’s often because the people running them weren’t set up for success in the first place.

Running a small to mid-sized real estate brokerage is demanding - you’re not only managing your own business, but also leading agents, overseeing admin, handling compliance, and making countless decisions every day.

Agents aren’t just looking for a brokerage - they’re looking for support, structure, and systems that help them succeed. In today’s competitive real estate market, brokerages that fail to deliver this will struggle to attract and retain top talent. Many small and medium-sized brokerages in Ontario offer little more than a desk and a split and wonder why their agents leave.

Running a real estate brokerage can often feel like a race you’re constantly trying to catch up on. Between managing agent needs, handling client demands, keeping up with compliance, juggling staffing, and trying to grow your business - it’s no wonder so many brokerage owners feel like they’re always behind.

Running a real estate brokerage is no small feat. From managing agents and ensuring compliance to handling deals and marketing your brand, there’s a constant pull in a hundred different directions. But while you're focused on growth, profitability, and staying competitive, inefficiencies within your operations might be quietly eating away at your bottom line.
