Its been 9 1/2 years since I have moved my own family from point A to Point B. And even that was just cross town from one side of Highlands Ranch to the other. Prior to that I had moved a few years beofre from one area of South East Denver to Highlands Ranch. Over those years I have had to move professionally a few times.
I finished another move of sorts today. I have not switched brokerages but have decided to home office 100%. I work from home a great deal anyway, and really only was spending about 4 - 6 hours a week in my office.
I liked my office - I mean I still do, but the physcial 4 walls, I liked it. It just didn't make sense anymore. At least for now. So I decided to home office and spend that money I will be saving on different things that will truly make a difference to my clients.
Its a good chunk of change.
I think every Realtor should move in some capacity every so often. Its a good reminder what our clients are subjected too. I didn't have to go through all of the personal changes necessary in packing a house and trying to keep things up to par with kids running around for showings. Of course its not realistic that every Realtor move all the time as an exercise - and I venture to guess that those that do are probably pretty good at being much more sensitive to the stress that is induced form moving.
But just getting things out for the deadline of October 1 while being extrememly busy was enough.
Its a good reminder.
