REAL ESTATE BRANDS? Do You Think They Matter?

By
Real Estate Agent with Prime Real Estate

I have been thinking a lot about this lately as I have been reading about the different companies and their financial problems.  Locally we have seen a lot of different companies closing branches and I wondered do brands matter?

I got into this discussion recently with a few other agents and of course if you talk to an agent working for a no name brand office they have the best situation and if you speak with a name brand agent they sell their houses because of the name brand.  So I am curious with the internet being where most homes are found and where agents are found do you think brands matter?

Hello Valarie:

I can only share with you my experience. When I began in this industry I belonged to a well recognized national brand.  I learned that my clients bought from me not the Brand and began my own brokerage firm and have never looked back.

Here in San Diego brands do seem to be on sellers' minds. I use to be with company "X" will say and I didn't get the listing. An agent with company "Y", who the seller associates with higher end listings, got the listing.
