Agents interview teams. Team leaders interview agents. But are either of them asking the questions that actually matter? Pam and Mackenzie break down what both sides should be asking before saying yes.

Agents walk in trying to prove why they should be hired. Team leaders are trying to figure out if someone is a good fit. And somehow, both sides end up asking the same safe questions that don’t tell anyone what they actually need to know.

In this episode of Real Talk Real Agents, Pam Saxman and Mackenzie Sottini break down what agents should really be asking before joining a brokerage or team, and what team leaders should be asking before bringing someone into theirs.

They get into the questions that uncover expectations, culture, accountability, support, communication, growth, and whether the opportunity actually makes sense for both sides.

Because an interview shouldn’t just be about getting picked. It should be about figuring out if this is actually the right fit.

In this episode:
• What agents should ask before saying yes to a team
• What team leaders should be asking prospective agents
• Why agents need to interview the team, too
• The questions that reveal expectations before they become problems
• How to spot alignment, or a lack of it, early
• Why the “right fit” matters more than simply filling a seat

Whether you’re an agent considering your next move or a team leader trying to build the right team, this conversation will help you walk into your next interview asking much better questions.

Real Talk Real Agents is the real estate podcast for agents who want the honest conversations, practical strategies, and real-world lessons that don’t always make it into traditional training.
