What should I ask before switching brokerages?

Changing brokerages is a business decision, not a fix-all. Start by naming what is actually holding your business back, then ask questions that test whether a new brokerage would change it.

Start with your own business

• What do I most want to improve in the next 12 months?
• Is the gap my process, my tools, my available time, or the support I receive?
• What have I already tried, and why didn't it stick?

Questions to ask any brokerage

• What support is available to me on day one, and who provides it?
• What are the current fees and costs, and where is that documented officially?
• What happens to my pending transactions and listings during a move?
• What am I required to attend, pay for, or use?
• Who will I actually talk to when I have a question on a deal?

Questions to ask yourself afterward

• Did the answers address the gap I named, or something else?
• What would I do differently in my own routine regardless of where I hang my license?

A brokerage change rarely fixes a prospecting or follow-up habit by itself. Get clear on the need first — then evaluate options against it.
