Good morning,
If I want to set up a team under a sponsoring broker. Do I need to have a DBA as an individual agent to be able to use the team name legally?. Not really sure on this. I know I need approval from the broker, but was not sure on the legal use of a team name.
Thank you

Hi Laura -
Thanks for the question. I don't know of a specific one to recommend, but I'm sure something like that exists...somewhere. Ultimately, that team agreement is contract between a team leader / founder and the team members, and by extension, the brokerage. So, the components of this agreement are going to change based on the team's structure and needs. I would imagine the major components that would show up on the sort of sample agreement you're talking about would be things like internal team split and cap, lead provision, team role expectations, broker relationships, and more.
I will definitely keep my eyes open for a good one for you!

Is there a good, simple, team agreement sample out there? I am in the state of California if that helps.

Hi Jeff -
Thanks for the question. The answer to this is almost certainly locally. You can use job boards like Indeed or Craigslist, but if you're looking for someone to plug into your team, I would start by looking at your local MLS and seeing who is performing. If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for someone with some experience, you literally have a track record of someone's business performance there.

Where do you find the best place to "advertise" for a team member/buyer agent/listing specialist?
