Why Joining a Real Estate Team Changed Everything for Me

By Andre Liscinsky

With over a decade of customer service experience, Andre Liscinsky has established himself as a reputable real estate agent in Atlanta, known for his honesty, trustworthiness, and exceptional communication skills.

Why did I transition from an independent agent to a pivotal member of the Jeff Taylor real estate group? This journey has not only transformed my professional career but has also offered me invaluable insights into the essence of teamwork in the real estate industry.

Before joining the team, my career was a rollercoaster of highs and lows. The unpredictable nature of being an independent agent led me to seek a more stable and supportive environment. After interviewing several teams, I chose the Jeff Taylor group, attracted by their comprehensive support system and the immediate influx of leads and opportunities they provided. This decision proved to be a turning point, enabling me to close deals with remarkable speed and efficiency.

One of the aspects I cherish most about being part of a team is our weekly meetings. These gatherings are not just meetings but learning hubs where we share our experiences, challenges, and successes from the week. It’s a space where wisdom is passed, mistakes are analyzed, and collective experience grows exponentially. This accelerated learning process is something you rarely get on your own.

A particularly eye-opening experience for me was listening to my calls live in front of the group. This exercise, though initially shocking, helped me realize the importance of tone and approach in communication. Adapting my phone mannerisms led to better interactions with clients and colleagues alike, illustrating the personal growth that comes from candid feedback and self-reflection.

Being part of the Jeff Taylor group has not only enhanced my sales performance but also deepened my understanding of market trends and the nuances of real estate transactions. In 2020, I closed around $900K in real estate. Fast forward to now, and I’m on track to close close to $9 million—a testament to the exponential growth and success that comes with teamwork. Moreover, the support from transaction coordinators and the collective knowledge of the team frees up my time to focus on what I do best: serving our clients.

Transitioning to a team environment has been one of the best decisions of my career. The camaraderie, support, and shared goals have not only boosted my professional growth but have also addressed the loneliness that often comes with independent work. Real estate is inherently a people business, and thriving in a team setting feels natural for those of us who are inherently personable and team-oriented.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. If you have any questions or are considering a similar transition, feel free to call or email. The power of teamwork in real estate cannot be overstated, and I am living proof of its transformative impact.
