What to look for, what to ask, and how Huerkamp Home Group, a Keller Williams Preferred Realty team in Burnsville, answers.

Team or solo?

An honest look at joining a team

Why agents join a team

A steady source of leads you did not have to buy yourself
Training, coaching, and mentors who have done it
Systems, scripts, and tech that are already built
Support staff for transactions, marketing, and client care
Accountability that keeps you producing
Shared costs and a ready-made brand

What to weigh before you join

How the commission split compares to the support you get
How leads are assigned, and who owns them if you leave
The activity and meeting expectations, and whether they fit your life
The culture, and whether you would enjoy working there every day
The terms for leaving, so there are no surprises
