I first joined RE/MAX back in 2000 and worked there until 2003. Went out on my own, then took a 2-year sabbatical and am now back at RE/MAX. I like the company a lot, especially my office, which has incredible energy and enthusiasm... without being Rah Rah or oppressive.
Anyway, I met with my franchise's recruiter last week to talk about creating a training program for rookies. Rookies? Since when is RE/MAX a suitable place for rookies? Okay, so I've been out of the loop for awhile, but I always thought that one of the benefits of having a balloon on my business card is that we have the prestige of being mostly "experienced agents." Y'know, because we all pay a desk fee and don't need company training or leads or hand-holding... therefore, you know that if you hire a RE/MAX agent, you're getting a full-time, experienced, dedicated, competent agent.
Don't think I'm rookie-bashing - I'm not; I'm just surprised that RE/MAX is willing to dilute its image by aggressively recruiting new licensees.
Any thoughts from fellow RE/MAXers?
