Pulse: What challenges do teams face in the new normal?

This June, Inman’s editorial theme is Teams — we’re going to go deep on what it takes to grow your team amid this intense seller’s market. And if you’re not already a subscriber to our Teams Beat email newsletter, sent every Thursday, sign up now.

Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.

In recent years, the industry has seen a growth in the teams model, which even a pandemic couldn’t slow down. As Jim Dalrymple II wrote in this Inman Handbook on building teams in a new world, “Agents, observers and experts have all said that despite the chaos of this strange period, teams are actually more important than ever.”

But how is the team experience different in a post-COVID environment? More specifically, what are the main big challenges that team members face right now as we come out of the COVID (but still struggle with a pandemic-induced, heated seller’s market)?

We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
