We have a Great Office too. The Realtor in this office offer to help and get along with one another. That can make or break some offices.
You are so right Tony. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Paddy -- I'm glad you are happy! :-) There are so many different business models out there, and what is right for one person, necessarily isn't for another, that's what makes the world go round. From 1950s mentaility old-school companies, to modern (semi) international/national/regional/local companies, to small/custom/boutique/innovative companies (like my own brokerage I created), Internet brokerages, to discount brokerages, there is a place in this spectrum for all agents and consumers alike.
The sad fact is, it is very hard for consumers to truly make sense out of our industry because of it's lack of best practices (since there is no agreement), no cohesive and reliable, 3rd party information source who can be trusted, and the diverse business models, let alone the myriad of agents who practice real estate.
No easy answers, but a whole lot of diversity, and it keeps getting more diverse as each year unfolds, which is a wonderful thing!
I am at my second office since starting and I concur with your list Paddy. I knew in about 3 days that I was in the wrong place with my first choice. Oh how it makes a difference.
Nice post!
Great Top 10, Paddy. It is important to like where you work, who you work with and what they represent. After all, they reflect you as a realtor as well.
Hi Paddy~ Those are great reason why you work where you work. The only thing we don't have at our office is Profit Sharing! Vickie
I changed offices about a year ago and it has really changed my business in a good way. It is a fun and friendly enviroment with many successful long term agents that are supportive. It changed the way I thought about my Real Estate business and I love my career now.
Nice post, Paddy! There's nothing quite as nice as being in an office that really works for you!
Great post, and ten good reasons to find a broker and be happy there., But, most important a broker who is supportive.
Paddy, your top ten list reads as though we work for the same brokerage. All ten reasons on your list match what I am offered at my office. It sure feels good to work in an environment like we both have. Thanks for your post and happy blogging!
Paddy, it sounds good to me too! That's an important list of requirements they are fulfilling for you! I wish you the absolute best of luck and prosperity.
Later in the rain~Deb
Glad you have the opportunity to work where you are happy -- sounds like a great arrangement. We are happy as well.
Hey Paddy, what a nice post to say about your brokerage. I too feel pretty lucky having the firm I am working with. Congrats on the gold star!
It is important to find the right fit! I'm glad to see you have found yours. I love my work place and would never considering leaving it. I have a perfect fit.
A good working environment is a basic key to success.
Paddy,
Glad to hear that you've found a great place to work. Continuing education is one of the keys to success in any business; real estate, mortgage, anything. Everyone in the office benefits from that.
Yes Chris it can be confussing. Old fashioned service and attention are what consumers generally desire.
It really does make a difference Sharon and Greg
Absolutely Tom and Bev
Hey Vickie Profit sharing is a nice perk.
It is really important to love where you work Jessica isn't it?
Thanks Patricia. It is so true
Support is important too Rebecca Thanks for the comment
Glad to see it happens elsewhere Jason
The same back at you Deb.
Glad you are happy Bob and Carollyn!
Thank you Teresa. A star is always nice!
Glad you found your perfect fit Dorie.
Absolutely Brian
You are so right Esku
Of couse, I agree with you 100%. There are so many great people here and it is so nice that we can all share ideas and support each other in good times and bad. It is also so important that we have the luxury of a live person to answer the phones seven days a week. I think that it is becoming rare and it is really important that when someone calls to schedule an appointment or ask for an agent or any other reason that they are able to talk to someone, rather than fumbling through pressing numbers and eventually getting angry and sometimes hanging up. Also, I agree that we are always on the cutting edge and that it is so important. Congrats on the feature!!!
We do have a great group and some wonderful opportunities here Sue J Thanks for the comment
