Funny you should mention office closings SCRE. In the two years since I wrote this post, my old C21 broker who poo-poo’d our brokerage model has closed his office. We have grown to 18 agents and recently opened a branch office in Tucson…

I ran into someone at the supermarket yesterday who used to be with the biggest “desks are us” company in my market. She was 1 of 9 to leave that company going into 2010 and that is about 1/3rd of the office. The same company closed down one of their 4 offices in the area in 2009.

I think that the days of the “desks are us” business model are over. The only question is who will be the first in each market to realize it. Home office based companies are growing around the country and I look forward to a good one arriving in my area.

After being with RE/MAX for a couple of years I am so happy with our new small company. No more ridiculous splits! 90% of my business comes from the web site and I think the website is a very important tool to have nowadays especially in resort market. It shall be informative and very helpful to the buyers and sellers who start their property search online. If they like the web site and the information you provide to them they will definitely contact you when they are ready to buy or sell real estate.

“Personally, I think a successful brokerage (or individual agent) can be made by going back to a very traditional thought and practice…”

This is exactly what I believe. The traditional thought applied to today technology will bring us greater success and results in the long run. And hopefully we will have a ton of fun doing it along the way!!!
