About 1.5 years ago I got into a disagreement with the former owner of our company. It revolved around the redesigning of office space I was renting from the company. Unable to come to a meeting of the minds, I told him he could KEEP HIS OFFICE SPACE ! I took everything out of the office and set up a quasi- home office.
It turned out to be a great move ! Working virtual has helped me MAX out the available hours I have in a business day ! Nowhere near the distractions a typical real estate office has. Through it all, I have kept asking myself " why do I need to drive somewhere each day to sit down and THEN start my day ???" The clear answer is I DON'T !
Living and working virtually has really confused my neighbors ! Many mornings I rise bright and early, fire up the morning coffee and hop on my notebook. By 9:00 am I've followed up all incoming leads, completed property searches and have talked to everyone on my team who actually need my attention. It's now time to walk my Golden Retriever. I often see neighbors in my still unshaved(and unshowered) condition. I'm sure they must be thinking,"poor guy ,he must have lost his job !"
I keep a very small space at a geographically remote office location our company has primarily for the convenice of that market we serve. But after having experienced the freedom and efficentcy that working virtual has given me, I'll never return to the trappings of traditional real estate ! How about you ?
