The Collective by Mellor Group · For brokers

Where brokers become advisors.

The Collective by Mellor Group is a team within Royal LePage Elite, built around opportunity, structure, mentorship and professional development. We invest in how you think, not only in what you close.

01 · The premise

Most teams offer leads and a split. We build the broker behind the business.

At The Collective by Mellor Group, you get leads, real opportunities and hands-on support on active files — but that’s only the beginning.

You work alongside an experienced broker, learning how to price, negotiate, advise clients, navigate difficult situations and make better decisions when the answer isn’t obvious. You’re not simply handed a lead and expected to figure out the rest.

At the same time, we help you build your own business — your relationships, your confidence, your judgment, your leadership and eventually, your own pipeline.

The goal is simple: give you opportunities today while developing you into a broker who won’t need to depend on them tomorrow.

02 · What you receive

Four commitments.

01

Opportunity

Exposure to residential, multi residential and commercial work across Montréal. You learn the whole board, not one corner of it.

02

Structure

Shared systems for every stage of a file: the market analysis framework, listing presentation standards, templates and brand standards. You never start from a blank page.

03

Mentorship

Direct guidance from Shanna on live files, with regular file reviews. Questions are answered while they still matter.

04

Professional development

A coaching based curriculum drawn from The Elevated Broker, including an Energy Leadership Index® (ELI) Assessment and debrief on how you lead under pressure.

Transitional, not transactional.

03 · The path

How the first ninety days unfold.

Step 01

A conversation

Private and unhurried. Where you are, where you want to be, and whether this is the right room for that work.

Step 02

Alignment

An Energy Leadership Index® (ELI) Assessment and a debrief with Shanna. Together you define what growth means for you, in writing.

Step 03

Foundation

Onboarding into the systems, standards and tools. You observe files before you carry them.

Step 04

Practice

You carry files with support, then on your own. Development continues through regular review and coaching.

04 · Fit

Who thrives here.

The Collective by Mellor Group is growing, and the brokers who join now will shape what it becomes.

This will suit you if

You would rather understand a market than recite it.

You want structure and feedback, and you act on both.

You see clients as long relationships, not single transactions.

You work comfortably in French and English.

You hold a Québec broker licence, or are completing it.

05 · A note from the founder

Why I built The Collective by Mellor Group.

Real estate rewards volume, and it rarely teaches judgment.

I built The Collective by Mellor Group for brokers who want both: the business, and the discipline behind it. The standards are high, the feedback is direct, and growth is measured by the quality of your advice. My work as a coach shapes how we develop people here. We start with awareness, then build the habits that hold under pressure.

After more than 20 years in real estate, I’ve learned that knowing how to sell real estate is only part of what makes a great broker.

The bigger work is learning how to lead yourself.

That belief is why I pursued professional coach training through iPEC® — the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching — and became a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and Energy Leadership Index® Master Practitioner (ELI-MP).

The Collective by Mellor Group brings that training directly into broker development.

Every broker who joins The Collective by Mellor Group has access to the Energy Leadership Index® (ELI) Assessment, a research-backed attitudinal assessment designed to build awareness around how we think, respond, make decisions and lead — particularly under stress.

Unlike a traditional personality assessment that focuses primarily on traits, the ELI provides insight into how you are currently showing up — including how your response can shift under pressure.

The Energy Leadership Index® has also received recognition outside of iPEC®. Forbes Coaches Council included the ELI among its “11 Assessments Every Executive Should Take,” highlighting its perspective on self-awareness, emotional intelligence and leadership under stress.

This is what I want The Collective by Mellor Group to do differently.

I’m not interested in simply teaching brokers how to prospect harder or close more transactions. I want to develop brokers who understand themselves, communicate better, navigate pressure, build sustainable businesses and ultimately learn how to lead — whether that means becoming an exceptional independent advisor, building their own team one day, or simply becoming better at the work they already do.

The goal isn’t dependence on a team.

The goal is development into a leader.

If that is the room you are looking for, I would like to hear from you.
