Breakings into real estate is tough—especially in today’s market. Many new agents spend months (or even years) struggling to find clients, build a pipeline, and gain confidence. But at the Dave Friedman Team, we’re seeing a different story.

Several of our newest agents, who came in with little to no real estate experience, have put multiple homes under contract within their first few months—some as many as 17 deals in just 90 days.

Here’s what’s making the difference.

From Past Clients to Career Agents

Many of our agents first connected with us as clients. After experiencing our process firsthand, they decided to make real estate their full-time career.

“I had my license but only used it for friends and family. After buying a home with the team, I knew this was the right place to start my career. Just three months later, I’ve already closed multiple deals.”

Training That Builds Confidence Fast

At other brokerages, agents often feel left behind with little training or direction. On our team, training is intensive, practical, and hands-on—so agents hit the ground running.

“The training here was phenomenal. Honestly, I’d hire myself ten times over compared to before. It gave me the confidence to walk into appointments knowing exactly what to do.”

In fact, many of our agents went from zero experience to 5+ deals under contract in their first 60 days.

Ready-to-Go Appointments = Instant Pipeline

One of the biggest challenges for new agents is finding clients. We take that barrier away.

Instead of cold-calling for months, our agents step into ready-to-go appointments with motivated buyers and sellers. That foundation means they can focus on serving clients, building relationships, and gaining experience—without the stress of lead generation.

“At other brokerages, you’re left wondering where your next client is coming from. Here, you get real appointments, which gives you instant momentum and proof to your family that this career is working.”

A Culture of Mentorship and Collaboration

Another key difference? The environment. Our agents describe the team as more than just a workplace—it’s a family.

• Experienced agents are available day or night to answer questions.

• Daily accountability keeps everyone on track.

• Collaboration replaces competition, with agents sharing strategies, scripts, and advice openly.

“This is the first job I actually look forward to getting up early for. The team is like family. We all share ideas, celebrate wins, and help each other succeed.”

Results That Speak for Themselves

In just the last few months:

• Agents with zero prior experience have signed 10+ new clients each.

• Multiple agents have gone from training to closing 5–17 deals in their first 90 days.

• Confidence, skill, and income have skyrocketed—all in one of the slowest housing markets in years.

“The grass really is greener here. I’ve worked at other brokerages, and nothing compares to the training, leads, and support this team gives. I wouldn’t want to build my career anywhere else.”

Whether you’re brand-new to real estate or looking for a fresh start, the Dave Friedman Team gives you the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to succeed faster than you ever thought possible.
