We rarely take on new agents... they can't afford our fees. And I really have no idea how many come on board. Maybe some of our teams take on newbies as buyer agents but again I pay no attention to other agents' team structures and have no idea, as none of it impacts my business. But I will say that one reason I'm with the brokerage I'm with is because majority of agents have serious experience and we're not a training ground for new agents the way so many brokerages are.

I had one new agent in the lifetime of my Brokerage.  It was great as I was able to teach her the right way to do things without outsie intervention.    All sign a contract  that allows me to stop thier association with my Brokerage at anytime I feel they are not performing in a proper manner

We have a different set up for Metro Brokers - under one roof more than 30 companies with their own agents.   We have a few that are that new but not many.   For the first two years, a Broker must give that agent close supervision.

Our office only hires seasoned agents. They did make an exception when my sister, a newly licensed agent, joined my team last summer. But, that was because I took her under my wing.

None. But always willing to take on a new agent who wants to succeed. It seems like the big franchises are holding the classes, retaining the agents and bleeding them dry of their contacts before they go get a real job again.
