Collaboration Over Competition: The Future of Real Estate
One of the biggest takeaways from Mauricio Umansky’s visit to Oklahoma was the importance of collaboration in real estate. Too often, Realtors see each other as competitors rather than allies, fighting for listings, clients, and market share. While a healthy level of competition can be motivating, the bigger picture is clear: we are all in this business to sell homes. The more we work together, the more successful we all become.
Shifting the Mindset: From Rivals to Partners
Real estate is inherently competitive, and that drive to succeed is what makes many agents great at what they do. However, when competition turns into territorialism and an unwillingness to collaborate, it can actually hinder progress.
Instead of viewing another agent as the opposition, consider them as a strategic partner. Every deal requires two sides—a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent—and when both work together, the process becomes smoother, the transaction closes faster, and the clients walk away happier. A win for one agent should be seen as a win for the industry, not a personal loss.
The Agency: Built on Collaboration
At The Agency, we have seen firsthand what happens when agents truly support one another. One of the things that sets our company apart is our culture of zero competition and full collaboration. There’s no backstabbing, no undercutting, and no unhealthy rivalries—just a team of highly skilled professionals working toward a common goal.
Our agents celebrate each other’s wins, share insights, and collaborate on deals without ego getting in the way. This culture of support leads to better client experiences, stronger negotiation strategies, and a more efficient real estate process overall.
Quality Over Quantity: A Selective Approach
The Agency isn’t just another brokerage looking to pack the roster with as many agents as possible. We don’t hire just anyone. Our interview process is rigorous and intentional because we are building a team of professionals who embody the values of character, honesty, and loyalty.
While strong production is important, it’s not the only factor we consider. We want agents who truly understand the power of collaboration, who are in it for the long haul, and who are committed to elevating the real estate experience for their clients and colleagues alike.
A Global Network With Local Expertise
The Agency’s international marketing and media reach give our agents and their clients an unparalleled advantage. With a presence in luxury markets worldwide, our listings receive global exposure, and our network of agents can tap into an extensive pool of high-net-worth buyers.
However, what makes The Agency truly special is that even with this global presence, we operate like a tight-knit family. Whether you’re in Oklahoma, Los Angeles, or Dubai, our agents work together seamlessly, sharing resources and insights to ensure that every property gets the attention it deserves.
The Bigger Picture
At the end of the day, we’re all in this industry to help people buy and sell homes. When we collaborate instead of compete, we create a stronger real estate community—one that benefits everyone involved. Deals come together more easily, clients get better service, and we elevate the entire profession.
So let’s put egos aside, support one another, and focus on what really matters: getting deals done and helping our clients achieve their real estate goals.
If you’re an agent who believes in collaboration over competition and wants to be part of a team that values character and integrity, let’s talk.
