Starting Your Real Estate Career With the Right Foundation

Starting a career in real estate is exciting — and overwhelming. New agents quickly learn that getting licensed is the easy part. What comes next is figuring out how to generate leads, manage clients, stay consistent, and build confidence without burning out.

The biggest mistake new agents make is trying to do everything alone. Real growth happens faster when you’re part of a team that provides structure, coaching, and systems from day one. Instead of guessing your way through scripts, marketing, contracts, and follow-up, you learn proven processes that allow you to focus on learning the business and serving clients well.

A strong team environment also creates momentum. New agents benefit from shared accountability, access to experienced leadership, and a culture where questions are encouraged. When systems and support are already in place, you’re not starting from zero — you’re building on a foundation that’s designed to scale with you.

At The Platz Group, our approach is rooted in collaboration, coaching, and clarity. As a PLACE-powered team through PLACE Inc., we believe a real estate career should support your life, not consume it. Our focus is helping agents build sustainable businesses with the right tools, guidance, and community around them.

If you’re a new agent — or considering a career in real estate — the environment you choose matters more than you think. The right foundation can shape not just your first year, but your entire career.

If you’re exploring a career in real estate and want to learn what it looks like to grow within a supportive, team-driven environment, we’d love to connect.
