Join my new group, "Virtual Office - Work from Home Office"

Hi Regina,

Thanks for the invite.  I some times forget when to start and end my work day.  A friend of mine that had a home office her whole career said she use to dress for work and go to her office at 8 AM and end at 5 PM.  She said it mentally put her into the work mode.  So far that has helped to keep me focused and helps me to stop working to.  If I don't do this I start to feel like all I do is work.

Hi Regina;

I thank you for the invitation. I will check out your group.

Hi Regina,

Thanks for the invite. I look forward to corresponding with other Brokers that are working from their Home Offices.  The interaction with other agents is the only part that I miss from a conventional office setting.  I think that this group will help.  Even if it's just for bouncing ideas off of one another.

I think the idea of starting out with a bike ride or something social in the morning to get started might help from feeling isolated.  I think I will try going to the neighborhood Starbucks and hang out.  I can ride my bike and take my lap top and business cards.

It's funny when I started in Real Estate I would go to the office everyday and listed to other agents deal with their clients. After a while, I would find myself having the same conversation with my own client and almost repeating what the other more experienced agent was saying.  My point is:

I think that working is a conventional office as a new agent can be a good thing.  However a you advance, and your interest shift more towards production vs. training.  I makes more sense from a time management sense to work from my home office.

I think your right, when I started out in real estate my most help was working with another agent.  I think everyone needs that mentoring when starting out.  If I was talking to a new agent about Allison James where it is all virtual I would suggest they try to join a team for the first year.  There is so much to learn that you don't get when getting your license. 

The great part about a home office is that you don't even feel like you are working all the time.  You can accomplish so much more in a shorter time frame which gives you more time to do other things!  It is a win win situation!
