I Hate Moving!

I've been in the Real Estate business for about 14 yrs now and it all started back in the mid 90's in NY.

I worked my way up and felt my bumps a long the way. Sometimes even now I'll feel those bumps but that's just a part of the business you'll have to expect because it isn't always rosy. Sometimes new agents will ask me why it's so difficult to deal with different types of people. I just tell them that if they don't have thick skin then they might want to reconsider their career. This isn't a business for everyone. It seems when everyone is making money...you'll start to see more people become Real Estate agents.

They think it's always easy and there is lots of money to be made. I'll agree that it can be easy most of the time but not all of the time. There is feast and there is famine.

I'm always asked...when you go into the business.. how do you decide which company to work for?

Every company offers you something different. Different fees...different commission splits...different tools to use. Companies will offer you different things depending on your reputation but it's not always easy to decide which one is a good fit.

I don't mind change but I don't like to keep switching companies. I've only been with 4 different companies in 14 yrs so that's not so bad but I don't look to move to a new office and spend weeks getting acclimated while I try to keep my business running without too many interruptions.

Recently I had to make a tough decision...I've left REMAX and have moved a few blocks north and have now joined Keller Williams Properties. I'm very excited with the move and the company has been very supportive in getting us set up so we can continue what we love to do and that's selling Real Estate and making our clients happy.

I still think REMAX is a great company to work for but it was time to move on. I have valid reasons why I left but it makes no sense to dwell on the past...it's time to move forward.

movin' on... good luck with your new brokerage....

Neal my friend CONGRATULATION on the move again, I know that you will excel where ever you are.

Now I don't know about the thick skin, mine is soft and delicate ......... LOL

Neal - Congratulations on the move to Keller Williams. Best of luck and wishes for your continued success!

Good Luck Neal........sometimes change is the best thing. Brings about a whole new fresh perspective. Go for it!

Thick skin is a must in this biz.

Keller Williams, in my opinion, has a damn good addition. Do your thing, my friend.

Moving is difficult, not to mention all the new things you need to get organized (cards, signs, etc.) But, it sounds like you are doing what needs to be done. Good luck.

Wishing you the best of luck in your career with Keller Williams. Hope you don't need to make another move. Happy selling.

Neal - Good luck on your move to Keller Williams. From what I can gather, KW is a very good company. You'll do just fine.

Neal - Congratulations on the move and wish you much success with Keller Williams.

Neal-I am very excited for you...I would have called but I know how busy you are! Will call you soon...congrats and cheers to you! :)

Oops, so you fell out of the balloon! I hope you landed safely and made the right decision! Time shall tell.

Best to you my friend!

Neal. I underdstand KW is a great compnay to work for. I hope this works out well for you. If not..............give me a call :)

Neal, I'm sure it was a difficult decision but I wanted to wish you the best at Keller Williams!

APR

Success is mostly about the agent and not the company. Best of luck Neal I am sure you will do just fine.

Neil,

Sometimes a move to another environment is necessary to everyone's benefit. With your experience getting adjusted in the new place should be a breeze. Best of luck there.

So see you in San Diego in February. Start saving....

I've been with 3 companies in 33 years - 2 too many!!

Good luck in your new home. I have no doubt you will do fabulously!

APR

I can understand how hard it is to move and as much as I love being with RE/MAX I can completely understand - good luck and hope it all works out for the best for you...

Neal, Does Keller Williams know how lucky they are to have you. Wishing you a ton of success.

I'm sure your reputation will precede you. Good luck but you probably don't need it - your experience will continue to carry you.

APR

I'm looking around myself now that I've moved to Allentown and I know how difficult it can be to find the right professional match. I genuinely hope this new association is all you hope it will be!

APR

Best wishes in your new company! You will do fine!

APR

Hi Neal, I am late to read about this change you recently made. All the best to you at KW.

APR

Congrats on your move! I am interested in why. did your business model not fit? I am one who thinks the business model support is the most important key to opening the doors to success!

APR

Neal-Congrats on your move to Keller Williams, my old RE/MAX office lost many great brokers to Keller Williams.

Hey Renee,

Obviously...I will be talking to on the phone regarding this. I never like to post the reasons.

Best of success at your new company, Neal. I hope it's very fruitful for you!

Good luck Neal. A new start with a new company might be just what you need. Hope you never have to move again.

I did a double take when I saw the logo on the blog. Best of luck with the new digs - I'm sure you know exactly what you want after 14 years.

APR

Well I'm thrilled thatyou're part of Keller William now - the bulk of our office is comprised of ex-Remax Realtors - it doesn't appear to be an uncommon shift...........For me its been almot 5 month now and I'm loving it! Welcome! :-)

Missy whats in San Diego in Feb? Did they change the venue from New Orleans? yikes
