Is it just me, or does anyone else notice the seemingly over used term "team" with agents these days. It's team this, team that and it seems ooooh so cheesy to me. I'm a huge sports fan and understand the concept of team, but to equate it to real estate just seems tacky to me.
Anywhere there is two or more gathered persons, operating under a single realtor's license, they seem to always use "team."
It ranks right up there with terms like "upscale, platinum, gold, etc. Cheesy!
It's because when you have a principal broker that supervises their own group they have to distinguish their group as required by law, at least our state laws. I assume that is true for other states as well.
More and more folks are choosing to get their principal/managing broker's licenses and go this route. So other than MikeJ's choice for My Matrix, team and group are the two most common terms.
Although I kinda like the Jaquish Bunch too. Give's me a 70's feeling. Here's a story...of a tallish REALTOR...
Yeah, I do think Team is overused, but what are some good alternative? One thing that I did find annoying in some of the marketing & website templates for a previous company was that even single agents were by default entered as the "Agent's Name Team" - I just changed them to remove that wording, but was tempted to get pictures with me & all my dogs, so I'd have teammates to show.
One of the more interesting "group" names I've come across hear is a woman who advertises her team as the "J___ W___ Gang" - they had a billboard up with everyone dressed in 1930's mobster style suits and hats - kind of an odd take on things, but it was memorable.

Hrm...first each RE agent must be licensed independently, so they can't all operate under one license.
So you think "team" is overused. I have a "team" which consists of 3 people that work for me (2 licensed, 1 not). It's not a partnership. What do you suggest that would be less cliche or tacky because I'm certainly open to suggestions?

"The Hoffman Hierarchy?" Y-A-A-W-N
"Hoffman Home Hoes?" Hmmmmm... Probably not so good...
Gee, this one is a stumper. Probably I would go with *.* "Team."
I did not say there was anything wrong with a group of professionals working together in the real estate business. My only issue was with the overuse of the term Team to indentify this fact. It just seems so overly done to me. I just find it cheesy, just my personal opinion.
I kind of like Posse better, Or perhaps Homies, or even Clan.
"Me and my posse will find you the perfect home"
"My Homies and I all work together to find you the best deal."
"The Harman Clan of professionals are standing by to find you the perfect home at the best price."
Sounds so much better then the "A-Team"
