From Part-Time to Top Producer: Sarah's Journey with Bean Group
By Bean Group Team
When Sarah joined Bean Group three years ago, she was juggling real estate part-time while working another job. Today, she's a top producer closing $8M+ annually. Here's how the right environment accelerated her success.
Sarah's Transformation
From 6 transactions her first year to 32 transactions in year three—a 5x increase in production with the right systems and support.
The Starting Point: Overwhelmed and Uncertain
Sarah's situation was common: passionate about real estate but struggling to gain traction:
"I knew real estate could be my career, but I couldn't figure out how to break through the ceiling I'd hit."
Year One: Foundation Building
Sarah joined Bean Group at Level 1 and immediately accessed:
Weekly calls with an experienced agent who had already walked her path
Systematized follow-up that worked even with limited hours
Access to team leads while building her sphere
Help navigating complex deals she would have lost before
Year 1 Results: 12 transactions (doubled from previous year) while still employed full-time
The Leap: Going Full-Time
With consistent income and systems in place, Sarah made the decision to go full-time. The $4K cap advantage made this financially viable:
"The reduced cap meant I could take the leap sooner. I was keeping so much more of my commission that full-time became realistic a year earlier than I'd planned."
Would have paid $16K+ to cap
Paid $4K to cap—$12K saved
Year Two & Three: Acceleration
With full-time focus and Bean Group's infrastructure, Sarah's business transformed:
Year 2: 22 transactions | Year 3: 32 transactions
GCI increased from $85K to $240K in two years
40% of business now comes from referrals and repeat clients
Advanced from Level 1 to Level 3, with better splits and added benefits
Key Success Factors
When asked what made the difference, Sarah highlights:
"My mentor didn't just give advice—she walked me through deals, role-played conversations, and held me accountable."
"Bean Group's CRM and follow-up systems meant I wasn't reinventing the wheel. I could focus on relationships, not logistics."
"Being around successful agents raised my standards. What I thought was impossible became my new normal."
"The $4K cap meant I was profitable from my first year. That financial breathing room let me invest in growth."
What's Next for Sarah
Now Sarah is exploring the Managing Partner track—building her own team within Bean Group and creating revenue share income:
"Three years ago, I was wondering if I should give up on real estate. Now I'm building something that could generate income for years—even decades. Bean Group didn't just help me become an agent; they showed me how to build a business."
Sarah's story isn't unique—it's what happens when talent meets the right environment. The question isn't whether you can succeed; it's whether you're in a position that enables success.
