The Real Estate Team Advantage Many real estate brokers start out as a solo entrepreneur who pledges to give their dedicated attention to every client. But as their reputation for excellence and professionalism grows, so does their number of clients and transactions. It can be difficult to maintain that high standard when your time is pulled in too many directions and is often delivered at the expense of other life activities. For entrepreneurs who are new to the real estate industry but have years of business experience to share with an expert broker, a team can be a game changer for both of you. Successful teams rely on the special talents of each individual working together, sharing networks and dedicating themselves to supporting each other and their clients. Leading a team and joining a team can bring long-term financial benefits to you and add to your work-life balance. Teams run through John L. Scott ElevateÂŽ Teams Program perform at a higher level of client satisfaction and profitability. That is one reason John L. Scott Real Estate dedicates time and resources to supporting existing teams, creating new teams and recruiting teams to join the company that invests in its people.
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. –Vince Lombardi

Unrivaled Systems That Drive Success Our programs will elevate your team to the next stratosphere Our programs that elevate team performance offer a unique coaching and mentoring relationship to you and your team members. But we also have an array of programs that will increase your leads, help you provide the best possible customer service and relieve you of back office work that can take time away from what you and your team members do best: interact with customers. Our programs include:
PROPERTY TRACKER® Our user-friendly Property Tracker® works as a great enticement for leads because not only will clients get an instant notification when a new home hits the market, that notification is branded to you. And they will receive a monthly MarketInsights® hyperlocal market report to help them make educated decisions with your market expertise. Your client’s Property Tracker® account can be viewed as a website or an app, both branded to you. Clients can save and rate properties and set up custom searches based on anything from a Zip code to a school district, an entire city or a specific neighborhood.
BUYSIDE While the Property Tracker®Tool is a primary feature of Buyside, Buyside also empowers you to demonstrate in real-time the number of potential buyers who are actively searching for a home similar to your client’s in their neighborhood. When a listing notification goes out on Property Tracker®, you can immediately reach out to the active pool of buyers who receive it with information about your listing.
HOME VALUATION SYSTEM As a John L. Scott broker, you will have your own automated home valuation site with a unique URL. Potential sellers can type in their address and instantly see up to three automated home values from the Home Valuation system powered by Buyside.
PLUS+ PROGRAMS No matter what your client needs, we have a solution. Our Market Ready Plus+ program advances upfront costs to your seller to prep their house for sale and maximize the proceeds when selling on the open market. Our Buyer Ready Plus+ program offers short-term financial solutions to bridge the gap between your seller’s current home sale and their new home purchase. Our Instant Purchase Plus+ program provides sellers with instant cash offers who are less concerned about securing maximum sales price for their home and more focused on less disruption with prepping and open houses, and want the convenience of controlling their closing date.
ELEVATE TEAMS PROGRAMÂŽ Team member specific training, tools and systems for everything from how to run daily huddles, to creating a culture of productivity. Optional one-on-one team coaching and much more.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. –Andrew Carnegie
Business Support Services Whether you are a team of two or a large group, you know the administrative requirements of running a real estate business can sometimes overtake your time. At John L. Scott, we offer multiple departments, including legal and marketing, to take some of the pressure off you and your team. The marketing department generates automated, prescheduled emails branded to you, including the Housing Update, an animated market report sent monthly to your clients about their geographic area. With Automated Boost by HomeSpotter, you can set up social media and web display ads for a listing, open house or agent promotion. Our in-house staff can create and manage video ads for you, so you can spend more time focusing on clients. We have website designers and team branding experts to help you, along with our robust training department, which includes Mastermind groups for brokers and education for every broker at every level of their career. Our Intranet Site makes it easy to communicate with other brokers and our Ultimate Client Relationship department will help make sure you are staying in touch with your clients so that you remain the one they turn to when they need a real estate expert.
Laser-focused on Technology John L. Scott Real Estate’s technology platform is second to none. We know that most real estate brokers get a lot more excited about making a new connection with a buyer or a seller than they do about researching the latest tech gadget. Finding the money necessary to invest in the right technology and training brokers and staff to use it effectively is a huge challenge. That is where John L. Scott excels. We’ve built a platform that’s comprised of the best technology systems available today and then formed an infrastructure around them designed to drive awareness, understanding and adoption with one goal in mind— to help every broker bring more buyers and sellers together. For example, every broker gets a personally branded mobile app to share with clients, a customizable website, automated new listing notification system, automated email campaigns and productivity tools, all accessed through JLS’s MyDesk intranet site for centralized access to every aspect of their business and the Exchange sync system so that every piece of information is available on all devices.
