Elite Brokerage Blueprint

Elite Brokerage Blueprint

We have been fortunate.

As brokerage leaders, we have built successful brokerage firms and recruited over 1,000 salespeople.

Our expert coaching and training frameworks have enabled us to identify The 4 Key Components of Building Elite Brokerage Firms. We emphasize these components to ensure success:

Productivity
Profitability
Growth
Environment

We work with new brokerages with growth goals, established brokerages improving in the 4 Key Components of an Elite Brokerage, and brokerage firm owners working toward exit and succession.
We used The 4 Key Components to develop our Elite Brokerage Blueprint. This plan was designed to confidently guide new and existing brokerage firms to higher levels.

7 Books Leaders Should Read Next – Sheena Saydam for Middleton Elite Coaching

DC Metro area real estate team leader and philanthropist Sheena Saydam of Saydam Properties Group is an avid reader and all-around incredible human. She is a mom of three, a wife, the managing partner of DC’s #1 top-producing KW team (2022), and a prominent community activist. Her charitable efforts in her community and beyond have positioned Sheena as a respected leader and businesswoman.

When asked how she can be productive and read a book weekly, Sheena credited always having a physical book near her as one way she has prioritized reading. She says she will often take books with her on a car ride (passenger, of course), on flights, and during travel. Sheena says that besides reading while cooking (a talent in its own right), she reads 50 pages or more each night after her kids are asleep.

We are enjoying the list of 7 books Sheena recommends all productive, growth-minded leaders should read next. You can watch this video of Sheena commenting on why each of these books is among her favorites.
