Real estate can be a lonely business, especially for newer agents trying to build confidence, find clients, and figure out how to write contracts without panic-Googling every other word. 

Scout Brokers Lalo Creme and Tyler Webster join this episode of Pocket Hours with Jennifer Nelson for a conversation about one of the biggest questions in real estate careers: should agents join a real estate team, go solo, or look for a brokerage that offers support without taking half their commission? 

It is a candid look at real estate teams, brokerage culture, agent training, commission splits, lead generation, and what it really takes to build a sustainable real estate business. The big takeaway? Teams are not automatically bad, but agents need to walk in with their eyes wide open.
