The search for hidden gems
The real estate world is buzzing with rookie agents, but let’s be real—not all of them will thrive. Of the nearly 58,000 new agents entering the MLS in the past three years, a staggering 70% won’t stick around long enough to go pro.
So, how do you cut through the noise and find rising stars? Introducing the Rookie Potential Rating—a revolutionary, new data-driven agent rating system developed by Relitix to help you uncover standout talent with unmatched precision.
With data-driven insights and predictive power, RPR is setting a new standard for how recruiters identify and secure top rookie talent and upcoming producers before they rise to the top.
What is the Rookie Potential Rating (RPR)?
Think of Rookie Potential as your personal crystal ball, only smarter (and way more reliable) — a cutting-edge metric that predicts whether an agent will close $3M+ annually by year four. With this insight, you can confidently make data-driven decisions, ensuring you invest in the right rookies, who are most likely to accelerate your team’s success and drive your business forward.
Why rookie potential rocks for recruiters:
The real estate recruiting landscape is evolving, and Relitix’s Rookie Potential Rating (RPR) is at the forefront of this change. With data-driven insights and predictive power, RPR is setting a new standard for how recruiters identify and secure top rookie talent and upcoming producers before they rise to the top. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
- Spot superstars fast: Find high-potential agents early, before your competition does.
- Find diamonds in the rough: Identify rookies with solid metrics (RPR 15%-25%) who may thrive in supportive team roles.
- Spot opportunities in your existing pool: Identify which rookies in your current pool are showing early signs of success, have the potential for greatness, and would benefit from coaching or mentoring.
- Smarter M&As (mergers and acquisitions): Confidently evaluate the agent pool of other brokerages to identify high-potential talent that aligns with your growth strategy, helping you build stronger acquisition targets.
The backbone of RPR:
- Machine learning-driven insights: Powered by advanced algorithms trained on over 2.4 million historical examples.
- Key data points: based on essential listing metrics, closings, transactions, and agent tenure.
- Unmatched accuracy: each rookie’s progress is compared against historical success patterns for real-world accuracy.
With a predictive power of 0.8 AUC (read: crazy accurate), Rookie Potential only gets sharper as more agents build track records.
RPR methodology:
With Relitix’s Rookie Potential Rating (RPR), recruiting the right talent becomes a precise, data-backed process. The RPR methodology puts you in the driver’s seat, offering a clear, actionable path to finding high-potential agents who are ready to make an impact. Here’s how you can leverage this powerful tool to build your cream team with confidence:
- Start with the Relitix dashboard: The Rookie Potential Quick List on your portal filters agents by RPR so you can get straight to the good stuff.
- Customize Your Strategy: Adjust RPR filters to match your specific recruiting goals or team needs.
- Take Action: Reach out to high-potential agents and start conversations that matter.
Breaking down RPR scores:
RPR scores are expressed as percentages from 0% to 99%. Here’s what they mean:
- 0-10%: Part-timers, dabblers—likely not your next MVP.
- 11-22%: Sub-par, but there’s potential in the right environment.
- 22-40%: Promising, but not quite shining.
- 40-60%: Hidden gems—serious talent that hasn’t hit the radar yet.
- 60-80%: Recognized stars on the rise.
- 80%+: The elite—future leaders and office superstars.
Pro Tip: Target agents scoring 40%-60% for optimal recruiting ROI.
