I get all the time "I'm happy where I am, I love my company" with people's brokerages when I talk to folks with whom I co-op. And they don't go any further. I don't often ask for lots of details, figuring if they reeeeally want me to know, they'll tell me. Often though, it stops there.
Now, I know they don't have to spill the beans to me, that's true. But why not elaborate? If their brokerage is making them happy, why then don't they try to get me to join them, or at least open up about why they like where they are?
I'm all for good companies keeping people happy. But if it's broad-based yeah, I'm happy happy carefree, then I want to know why. Am I nosy? Well, possibly.
Maybe because I am unabashedly proud and thrilled with my brokerage - with the technology with which we are provided, with the optimistic, forward-thinking mindset, with tools that are unmatched that help us get, service and sell listings, with tremendous in-house mortgage and title entities. I'll blather on (well, maybe not "blather" per se) but I'll bend folks' ears just because I like where I am so much.
What makes you happy - where you are? Do you have input into how things are done, are you involved in your office or prefer to be left alone, do you have profit-sharing, is there an overriding positive attitude that makes the environment wonderful, etc.? Is it the free coffee (you know you need it)?
C'mon. I wanna know.
