I work for a virtual office, maybe it's the wave of the future, it's probably not for everyone but it works for me. There was a time when I looked rather harshly at not only the virtual office but also the brokers that worked for them; yes I admit it I had some screwed up and funky idea regarding virtual offices.
I had actual misconceptions, for example I thought I would have absolutely no relationship with my principle broker or associates I was completely wrong. In fact I have received more encouragement and direction in this virtual office, than I ever did in a physical office where I was expected to pay desk fees and share large portions of my commission with my principle broker. The camaraderie is fabulous and my fellow brokers are available to help one another. We have all seen this same kind of solidarity here on Activerain, yes it is virtual but it is also a real place with real people.
I had of course been part of the standard real estate office up until this change, but once the bottom opened up in the housing market and began devouring real estate broker's right and left here in my area of the great USA, I was determined to survive this down turned market and come out the other side stronger for it. I don't regularly give up easy, I guess that is why I am still in the real estate business, while many others have been eaten alive and thrown into the general work force. I plan on having my heels dug in, so when the rebound begins I am already standing and ready for the game.
If it were not for a wonderful principle broker with a great business plan I may not be still standing, hats off to a great lady, with great business savvy and a vision for the future. I am truly blessed to work for one of the finest virtual offices in Oregon.
