Real estate isn’t one career, it’s five very different careers wrapped under one license.
The problem?
Agents try to succeed in the wrong version of real estate for who they are.

The 5 Core Agent Archetypes
1. The Independent Producer
You thrive with autonomy, personal brand, and control.
2. The Team Player
You operate best inside structure, accountability, and a clear system.
3. The Mega Team Leader
You’re a builder—systems, people, operations, leverage.
4. The Company Leader
You think big picture: culture, growth, recruiting, agent development.
5. The On-Site Specialist (New Construction)
You shine when you can focus on one product, one location, and one buyer type.
Every agent is naturally wired toward one (or two) of these roles.When you operate outside your archetype, everything becomes harder.
Final Thoughts
When you know your archetype, your path becomes clear:
What to focus on.
Who you are as a professional.
Where you thrive.
Why you do what you do.
Most agents never unlock this level of clarity.
But once you do, everything accelerates.
