The moment
Every vendor that sells into real estate sells at one moment: the week a brokerage signs an agent or gets licensed. That's when the seat, the transaction system, the E&O policy, the sign order, the headshots and the title partner get chosen. After that, not much changes for years.
The license record carries the date every agent's sponsorship started. The Shingle counts those dates by brokerage, so you see which independent shops are growing, how many first-time agents they're taking on and which brokerages just got licensed.
Who it's for
- Brokerage CRM, IDX and transaction-management software
- Back-office platforms
- Errors and omissions and general liability agents
- Title companies, escrow desks and preferred lenders
- Signage, print, photography and media studios
- Transaction coordinators and virtual assistants
- Brokerage franchisors, networks and agent recruiters
What you get
- Independent brokerages that signed at least one agent in your window
- How many agents each one signed, and how many were first-time agents
- Brand-new brokerage licenses
- The business address each company files
- National brands and franchise systems set aside
The outcome
Your CRM rep calls the shop that signed eleven agents this quarter, while it's adding seats. Your E&O agent reaches brand-new brokerages in their first weeks.
Questions buyers ask
- What does a sponsorship date tell me?
- The day the state recorded an agent signing with that brokerage. It can trail the actual signing by a little, and it says nothing about pay or deals. It's the clearest growth signal a brokerage puts on file.
- Can I see where an agent came from?
- No. The record shows the brokerage an agent is with today, so we can say who signed and when, and nothing about before.
- Are agents named?
- No. Agents are people, so they're counted. Brokerage companies are businesses, and they're named.
