90% of Agents Quit in Year One. Here’s How to Be in the Top 10%

September 20, 2025

Nearly 90 percent of new real estate agents leave the industry within their first year. Launching a career in real estate is no small feat. It is one of the most competitive and demanding professions. Yet those who succeed all share one thing in common: they do not do it alone.

The agents who thrive have access to quality training, dedicated mentorship, and a brokerage that genuinely invests in their growth. That is exactly what Elation Real Estate was built to provide. We deliver the support and resources that enable agents to transform their passion for real estate into successful, long-term careers.

What Sets Elation Apart

At Elation Real Estate, agents thrive. We have created a support system that allows you to focus on your strengths while providing the tools, resources, and community needed to elevate your business.

Unmatched Support

We provide hands-on mentorship, personalized coaching, and ongoing training tailored to every stage of your career. From day one, you are surrounded by leaders and colleagues who are invested in your success. You never have to navigate the complexities of the industry alone. Our boutique approach offers individualized guidance that fosters confidence and lasting growth, including training in negotiation techniques and in-depth knowledge of the San Francisco East Bay market.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Tools

The right tools empower agents to deliver exceptional results. That is why we provide access to industry-leading CRM systems, lead generation platforms, and automation software. These resources simplify processes, strengthen client relationships, and increase productivity. With less time spent on administrative work, you can focus on what matters most: helping clients achieve their real estate goals.

Full-Service Brokerage Support

Elation Real Estate extends far beyond technology by offering comprehensive brokerage support. Our legal, compliance, and financial services ensure that every transaction is handled with precision. Dedicated transaction coordinators manage contracts and timelines, reducing stress and keeping your business on track.

Our full-service approach also includes sophisticated marketing solutions. Agents benefit from innovative campaigns, professional videography, custom property websites, and immersive virtual tours that give every listing world-class visibility.

Better Commission Splits

We believe in rewarding hard work fairly. Our commission structure is designed with agents in mind, allowing you to keep more of what you earn while still receiving the full support of a boutique brokerage. It provides financial freedom without sacrificing the resources necessary to grow your business.

And Our Greatest Strength: Our Culture

Elation Real Estate is more than a workplace. It is a culture that inspires success. Agents here find fulfillment not only in their careers but also in the community we have built together.

Celebration and collaboration are at the core of who we are. Wins of every size are shared and recognized as team accomplishments. At Elation, you are never just another name on a roster. You are part of something meaningful. From team gatherings to philanthropic initiatives, we foster genuine connections that extend beyond real estate.

Our core values define us. We lead with honesty, integrity, and respect in every interaction. We put the client’s best interests above commissions. We embrace innovation to challenge the status quo. And we celebrate success together.

We also believe deeply in giving back. Through seasonal drives, nonprofit partnerships, and advocacy for animal welfare, Elation strengthens community ties and creates lasting impact. Agents here take pride in knowing their work extends beyond sales, touching lives in meaningful ways.

If you are ready to be among the top 10 percent of agents who succeed and truly love what they do, the right environment makes all the difference. At Elation Real Estate, whether you sell luxury homes or condos, you will find the mentorship, tools, support, and culture that transform a career into a deeply rewarding journey.
