After 15 years of running their own office, the Haupts decided it was time for a change.
Seeking more freedom and less administrative burden, they extensively researched their options โ and it was clear that @realty stood out from the crowd.
“There was no other model like @realty at the time,” Vincent said.
“We wanted to work for ourselves without the hassle of managing a big team. @realty offered exactly what we needed โ high commissions, excellent support, and complete freedom.”
Previously, in their own business, Vincent and Sandra were earning just 10-20 per cent of gross turnover, despite the heavy workload and overheads.
The move to @realty was a game-changer: they could keep up to 100 per cent of their commission while doing less administrative work and focusing more on what they love โ helping clients.
“We were so happy we could keep more of the money!” Sandra said.
“It allowed us to not only increase our earnings but also to provide an even better service to our clients.”
One of the Haupts’ main goals was to achieve a better work-life balance, especially with the arrival of their grandson.
Thanks to @realtyโs flexible model, they have been able to work when, where, and how they want โ without the pressures of KPIs, weekly meetings, or rigid structures.
“Spending more time with our grandson has been a dream come true,” said Sandra. “We have the freedom to manage our time, and itโs been life-changing.”
Technology and support have also played a big role in their success. The Haupts rave about @realty’s CRM system, especially the AI listing description tool that lets them upload and launch listings in minutes.
“Itโs so quick and easy,” Vincent said.
“The CRM and AI tools save us so much time, allowing us to stay focused on listing and selling properties.”
The support team at @realtyโs head office is another major highlight for the couple.
“They are unbelievable โ always friendly, always helpful, and they respond immediately whenever we need anything,” Sandra said.
The marketing team has also made a big impact, providing a streamlined process for property marketing.
From online ordering to signboard installation and high-quality brochures, everything is handled efficiently.
“We approve the proofs online and the marketing team takes care of the rest,” Vincent said.
“Plus, they create incredible social media campaigns that bring in more leads. They really know what theyโre doing.”
After years with @realty, Vincent and Sandra have no hesitation recommending the company to other agents ready for a better way of doing business.
“If youโre an agent with a few yearsโ experience under your belt and you want to earn more and have a better work-life balance, this is the company for you,” Vincent said.
With their careers thriving and their personal lives enriched, Vincent and Sandra Haupt are living proof that with the right support, real estate agents can truly have it all.
