What’s the one small change that led to a 277% increase in GCI for this local agent?
A little over a year ago, Stuart Southwell made a small change to his career. He backed that his community would back him over a franchise brand and built an independent agency of his own, Southwell Property. Fast forward 17 months and he’s gone from $360,000 GCI to over $1million.
“There is a strong part of Australian culture that wants to support the underdog and reward those that are prepared to have a go… Stepping out on your own is both of these things. It now means more to me to represent these owners in their sale than it ever would have elsewhere because I know they value me and what I offer, not where I work.”
~ Stuart Southwell, Southwell Property.
Stuart asked: What value am I really getting from a franchise?
Having learned the trade through Ray White, Stuart acknowledges the key skills he developed when entering real estate, but also saw the limitations of working for a franchise brand once he’d established his name and his craft. Like you, he found that people were asking for him personally and leads were coming from direct relationships and referrals.
“There were many little things that helped me see that I would be better off branching out. Working in a big office is really a ‘safe’ environment and a great place to nurture a career in its early stages but you will hit a ceiling at some point…
Now I love that I am not stuck in someone else’s box. The buck stops with me and while that is a great responsibility it is also a motivating opportunity.”
Drop the backend admin to skyrocket your sales.
When Stuart was ready to break away from the franchise, like many agents his main concern was where to get started and how much time it could take to setup and run his business. Luckily, the UrbanX platform makes setup a breeze (with very little start up capital needed) and provides the full backend support you need, so you can focus on listing and selling.
As Stuart says:
“I know what I am good at and what I need help with. UrbanX is a system that keeps me out on the road in front of buyers and sellers.
Sure I could hire and train my own team, but that takes time and energy and staff replacement could be a major hassle down the track. UrbanX solves all of that.There is clearly a large team at work behind me that turns out a lot of work very quickly. The systems are sharp and efficient.”
The result? Growing from $360,000 GCI to over $1,000,000 in 17 months.
