Have You Been Recruited By Another Company?

Hello Donna- The Broker/Owner of my office was a client of mine several years ago...an insurance client.  My boss at the insurance agency I ran was going through some personal changes and I decided to review my career options. I was about 23 at the time and didn't really know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.  I had went to college for accounting, but once completed and back out in the real world I felt restless in the career, not to mention the horrid drive to DC! I decided to give my notice of resignation to my boss at the insurance agency and my Broker-now-Stan, called about his business policy and we began to speak of my decision to leave, and I was explaining who he needed to contact in the future.  He was curious of my leaving and asked if I would come see him.  Long story short, I began my career as his personal assistant.  I did several of his different companies bookkeeping, and got my license in the process and began to sell real estate. He walked me through everything I needed help with and brought me in to many of his commercial and land development deals. I learned more in my first year than many agents do in 5, and out of over 100 agnets, I am 1 of 3 in the office that can handle large developmental projects and commercial properties-thanks only to the time I spent with my Broker. Last year I went on my own, to better position my family financially and because I was ready to take the next step, and he is my best supporter in everything and every challenge we face in this business.  I have had several agencies try to recruit me and have been very interested in some of the offers but I'm young, I still have A LOT to learn, and your never guaranteed anything in any business, but I know if I stay I will always have my Broker to lean on and that is honestly why I stay.

Well let's see why the agency I currently work at ? It is less than 1/2 mile from where I live with National Name recognition is a low key office. Recruitment wow last one was First Team and I swear the Broker got my name because I was doing a deal with there office. He went on and on about the millions they spend per month in advertising, which I have seen Real Estate Ad's and I am not impressed they fill the papers and in our area really do not make the phones ring in the current market. Blogging and my website are making the phones ring.

I was curious and saw some other offices online and clicked on there contact info. You know I never did hear from them. Like the Lights Where on and No one Was Home....
