Agent churn refers to the percentage of real estate agents who change brokerages within a given time frame, typically measured annually. It excludes agents new to or exiting the industry. High agent churn rates indicate retention challenges that can disrupt brokerage stability and profitability. Factors like agent tenure, office size, and agent production levels all influence churn, with newer and lower-producing agents being more likely to switch brokerages. Understanding and managing agent churn is vital for brokerages seeking to build a committed, high-performing team.
