What It’s REALLY Like as a First-Year Agent on The Leonhardt Team

So, you’re thinking about getting into real estate—or maybe you’re already licensed and wondering what it’s like to work on a real estate team. More specifically…

What’s it really like to join The Leonhardt Team as a brand-new agent?

We get this question all the time. So instead of giving you the usual polished pitch, we asked our agents to share what their first year actually looked like—the wins, the hard parts, and the support that helped them grow.

If you're dreaming about a career in real estate or searching for a better team fit, this post gives you a transparent look behind the scenes at what it's like to launch your business with a top-performing team behind you.

🚀 The First Month: Hitting the Ground Running

When new agents join The Leonhardt Team, we don’t throw them into the deep end alone. But we do get you in motion fast.

From day one, agents get access to:

• Structured onboarding & training

• A clear plan of action to find clients, build relationships, and close deals

• Hands-on mentorship from experienced agents and leaders on the team

• Tools, systems, and support that would take years to build solo

Yes, it’s a lot to learn—but you’re never learning it alone.

As one first-year agent put it:

“There’s no fluff. You get real training that actually prepares you for the job—and a team that truly wants to see you win.”

🧠 Challenges (Because Let’s Be Real…)

The first year in real estate isn’t easy—on any team. You’re navigating:

• A steep learning curve

• Rejection and uncertainty

• Time management while building a business from scratch

The difference? You don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

On our team, newer agents are constantly supported through:

• Weekly coaching and team huddles

• Access to lead opportunities and marketing resources

• One-on-one mentorship when you need guidance or feedback

You’ll still have to put in the work—but you’ll have people in your corner every step of the way.
