I have a vision. 1 central office for all the paperwork-computers and networks, teaching and meetings. Then a bunch of satellite offices around the city. Meeting rooms for clients, sign Storage, work space, networked computers printers and phones. Anyone in the company can stop in at any time to use the facility. Imagine 5-10 of these around town. You can stop into whichever one is nearest with your client. Handy, fast, easy. So why do I hava a problem?

I currently have an office with 20 cubicles in it. Realtors have a private desk, phone, place to work. I look around most days at an empty office. Even the most active agents only spend 3 to 6 hours a week in office. All that space costs a ton of money. the agents money really. They give me money for my services, and I spend lots on the office space they use so they can keep paper and dust. Money I could use for more and better services.

The hard thing is that in this area (Wichita Kansas), many agents want a private office. I'm starting to introduce my Realtors to my vision. Setting up virtual and remote systems for agents to access anywhere-not just from "The" office. I'm getting some lukewarm responses. Sorta like "We want to see it" first. My question for all -any experience with this setup? Can agents live without private offices? Anyone Stop using office space with good or bad experience?

Greg,

I want to understand more about your vision however there are many spelling errors. Some are grammatical and it doesn't change your vision, but I'm having a hard time understanding everything.

Greg,

 Something went wrong when you were writing the post. Could you fix the errors--I would be interested in your vision and the responses from those on the boards.
