hiring agents: J. Philip is Hiring. Looking for Agents Who Are Looking - 05/07/12 09:31 PM
My firm is not for everyone, but for 28 licensees, it is home. I have agents from Long Island to Rhinebeck but the majority are in Westchester County, where we do the bulk of our business. We have room for more agents who want to grow and help build the brand- in and outside of Westchester. What sort of person do we seek? You don't do the cubicle thing.

hiring agents: How to Get the Most From a Real Estate Agent - 02/17/10 01:13 AM
I received an email yesterday from someone I showed some houses to this past summer. I didn't remember him at first, but he had some questions about a property. I reached out to the listing agent for answers, and before she responded, I got another email from the guy today. " I didn't hear from you yet," he said. "Maybe I should call <another agent>."

He had resurfaced, wanted
