There’s been so much talk about real estate agent teams recently. Are they good for the real estate industry? Are they bad for the broker? Regardless of the answer, real estate agent teams are popping up all over the map–from small towns to giant cities. Big or small, real estate agent teams (mini-powerhouses is what I like to call them) are changing the the way real estate practitioners work with buyers and sellers, vendors, members of the media, and more.

With those thoughts as the backdrop for today’s post, next week I’ll be in New York for RISMedia’s 19th Annual Leadership Conference, where I’ll be joined by dozens of other real estate industry professionals as we explore best practices in building and maintaining a high functioning real estate agent team. This year’s event, which takes place at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, promises to be another memorable RISMedia-coordinated event.

My session–a panel discussion I’ll be facilitating titled The ABCs of Forming a Winning Agent Team–will teach Leadership Conference attendees the basic steps toward forming their own agent team. Joining me, as Panelists, are a number of successful Realtors who already know the in’s and out’s of running a successful real estate agent team, including:

• John Bendall, Team Leader, The Bendall Group
• Bryan Felder, Realtor, The Virginia Realty Group
• Faye Rispoli, Broker Associate, RE/MAX Premier
• Howard Witz, Associate Broker, Fillmore Real Estate
