I've Joined a New Brokerage
The changes have been made with the State of California and CRMLS, the official paperwork was completed and approved, and I'm about finished with the on-boarding process at a new brokerage, eXp Realty of California, after 9 years this month with Solutions Real Estate in Carlsbad.
But it’s not quite what you think.
I started with the Solutions Real Estate Carlsbad Office in January 2011, not many months after the company opened that office (there were several other offices at the time in Arizona where the company was founded).
Because the one founder still with SRE has moved with his team to eXp, the company will be closed in the next couple of months. After discussion with Brent, and some other people I know, and a bit of research and soul-searching, I decided to move to eXp Realty as well, versus moving to other possibilities in the area that have called.
I already work pretty virtually, and have a home office as I have since moving here in 2005, so moving to a cloud-based brokerage is pretty easy. There are abundant training and education opportunities which I am looking forward to, and no doubt other resources I will learn about that will be a benefit to me and my buyers and sellers. So much to learn, but it's exciting!
Now I just have to get used to not saying Solutions Real Estate, along with all the other online changes to be made (you should see my list!), plus all the people to notify. But it’s a good reason to get in touch and let people know. And while the brokerage name and logo are changing, my email and phone number are not, so for others the changes are minimal.
