What are the downsides of starting your own real estate agency?

Going independent is a dream for many agents, but actually starting your own agency involves high overheads, admin, compliance, uncertain lead flow, and the loss of centralised marketing/media support. Many $1m+ GCI agents experience an initial profit dip, greater risk, and less personal selling time.

Collings solution: Build a business within a business. Agents can lead teams, build a personal brand, and scale their reach— benefiting from Collings’ technology, CRM, media, and admin stack, with no franchise or hidden desk fees. Focus on sales, not compliance and payroll headaches.
