Last week was one of the most difficult weeks of our career.
We moved our licenses to a new office. We started our real estate career with our former broker. They’re a wonderful firm. The oldest independent firm in our market. They’re still family owned. Fifth generation. They were on the front edge of the move to technology. We loved our managing broker. The support staff is fabulous. Many of our closest friends in the business are at that firm. Much of what we learned about real estate, we learned there.
However…
For a variety of reasons, we didn’t feel that it would allow for our business to grow at the rate we would expect and hope for. We had been contemplating a move for some time, but the stars were never properly aligned. Moving your license is a very risky proposition... Losing current clients...Losing touch with former clients... Potential clients looking for you but not finding you...yada, yada, yada. You can lose sleep for months worrying that you forgot to cross all the “t’s” and dot all the “i’s”.
The Reality...
We couldn’t be happier. We went with a small “boutique” firm (one of the few remaining in our market) with a strong emphasis on professionalism and service. We love the broker and the agents in the office as well as the support staff. We’re excited by the level of activity and collaboration among agents. So far, the hardest part has been trying to remember which drawer any particular form is kept and how to use all of the “cool” technology that we didn’t have access to in the old office.
We’re psyched!
