Is Your Brokerage Helping or Holding You Back in 2025?

Is Your Brokerage Helping or Holding You Back in 2025?

If you’re an agent working hard every day in the Wilmington real estate market, you’ve probably asked yourself this at least once lately:
“Am I getting what I need to actually grow my business… or am I just grinding it out on my own?”

The truth is, not all brokerages are created equal.
And in 2025, when the market is shifting, buyers and sellers are more cautious, and the rules of the game are literally changing — support matters more than ever.

Let’s talk real for a second.
If your brokerage is just giving you a login and telling you to go hustle, you’re missing out on the kind of coaching, connection, and collaboration that turns average agents into top producers.

Signs Your Brokerage Might Be Holding You Back

You feel like you're on an island with no one to turn to for help
You're constantly Googling how to use your CRM or write a better listing ad
You don’t get updates on market changes or how to adjust your business strategy
You're paying fees… but not getting real tools or support in return
You're told “just go prospect” without being shown how to succeed in today’s market

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

What a Supportive Brokerage Looks Like in 2025

At 1st Class Real Estate Coastal Choice, we believe agents shouldn't just survive — they should thrive.
We’ve built our Wilmington-based brokerage around what we wish we had when we started:

1-on-1 coaching and real mentorship from people who actually sell real estate
Hands-on training that meets you where you are (beginner or seasoned pro)
Powerful marketing support — from video to social media to listing tools
Tech systems that actually work (and don’t require a degree to use) We've tested out A LOT of programs to come up with the most efficient formula to track your work. Tracking allows you to look at what you're doing, and seeing where you can grow.
A culture of collaboration, not competition It's important to feel like the Realtors in your brokerage are there WITH you and FOR you. Let's face it, we can all use a support system, especially within the same industry.
Recruiting bonuses so you can grow your income passively
And most of all… we have your back. Always.
