In reading Stewart Penn's recent blog in Activerain.com on virtual real estate offices, I have to agree he makes a good point. Penn, a Los Angeles Condo Specialist, after years of being with nationally-branded real estate offices, weighed the advantages.
Realizing that not only was his time was much better spent in Open Houses getting to know other real estate agents, but also that he really wasn’t getting many leads, nor were his clients getting extra benefits from the traditional real estate office. With that, he struck out on his own and has not looked back. Websites such as Activerain.com provide plenty of up-to-date real estate information and interaction wit real estate colleagues.
Penn goes on to say, “Relatively few large offices have really dynamic Managers and Leaders who motivate, educate and inspire their team of agents. In my mind, ideally a large office should be a place where an agent goes to get recharged, encouraged, nurtured and energized. But in reality, most of the large offices are places filled with internal politics and corporate drudgery.”
While this is not for everyone and we all have different work styles and needs, it certainly is something to entertain. To join in the debate and read the entire article, go to http://activerain.com/blogsview/1050175/the-virtual-office-business-model-vs-traditional-corporate-real-estate-offices.
