Transparency Builds Agent Confidence
When agents understand how commissions are calculated, they’re more likely to trust leadership and stay long-term. Build a stronger team.
“Wunderkind” might be the most apt way to describe Faina Shaprio. In just her second year as a REALTOR®, she achieved what many with decades of experience are still striving for. Ranked in the top 2% of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents nationwide, Shaprio closed just under $14 million in sales volume. She additionally purchased two investment properties and her brand blew up, as a series of training videos she created drew national attention and got her featured on multiple popular podcasts.
Even with all this, Shapiro still had the energy to teach dozens of workshops directly to other aspiring real estate professionals and serve on local government boards in her home of Medway, Massachusetts. Shapiro credits a commitment to core values for her success, saying that “to give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is education, responsiveness, integrity, and sincerity.”
