Be the reason.......

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

 

Our NW Coldwell Banker recently absorbed 33 agents from another office after their broker retired in November. It’s been a whirlwind of on boarding agents and making them feel welcome. Although it’s a daunting task for our broker and our office at this time of year it’s also an opportunity we took on with no regrets!

It’s been fun scheduling meetings, holiday parties, classes and enveloping the agents into our awesome culture of abundance. Our Holiday Office Open House late Tuesday afternoon was a labor of love and gift of grace. It didn’t have to be perfect; it needed our focus on gratefulness with the addition of these agents to our office.

Letting them know they are now part of our culture was top of mind. Even though it won’t happen overnight, it was a great step in embracing the concept during the holidays.

“Be the reason someone feels welcomed, seen, heard, valued, loved and supported.”

Good morning, Dorie... 33 agents are a lot to absorb all at once. Sounds like your office has taken some wonderful steps to do so... hopefully, this addition of agents will be a wonderful experience for all involved.

Sounds like a perfect time of the year to onboard so many at once.  With the holiday cheer in the air those efforts will be intensified.  Have fun getting to know all the new people in your life.

An office merge can be a very tense environment especially if all were once considered competitors. A great time for spiked nog and lots of food

Hi Dorie:

While this was nonetheless a challenge perhaps it's a great time of year for this to be happening. It sounds like your office took it all in stride, which isn't a surprise given the culture you have described over the year.

Love your ending quote!
