Roles
What is real estate team?
A real estate team is a group of agents and support staff operating under one brand within a brokerage, sharing leads, systems and administrative capacity, usually led by a senior producing agent.
Teams exist because the agent role bundles incompatible work: prospecting, showing, negotiating, marketing and transaction administration. Splitting those functions lets specialists do each.
Common structures include buyer's agents working leads generated by the team lead, inside sales agents qualifying enquiries, transaction coordinators managing contract-to-close, and marketing staff producing listing collateral.
The economics only work above a volume threshold, since salaried support must be covered before anyone profits. Below it, a team adds cost and coordination overhead without the volume to absorb either.

A brokerage is the licensed firm under which individual agents operate. It carries legal responsibility for their transactions and provides the supervision, compliance and infrastructure they work within.
A commission split is how the fee from a transaction is divided — between the brokerages on each side, and then between each brokerage and its individual agent.
Gross commission income is the total commission an agent or brokerage earns before any splits, fees or expenses are deducted. It is the standard headline measure of production volume.
A pipeline is the set of active opportunities an agent is working, organised by the stage each has reached — from new enquiry through viewing, offer and under contract to closed.
