Fred Griffin - what a  timing of this question!

I have worked SOLO so far - today only my wife joined with me as a team member! Most likely she will be an assistant - to begin with and will have more responsibility as time passes.

I plan to build a full-fledged team - soon.

I am a solo person. I see the value in teams, but in my area I have seen too many teams fall apart. I'm not willing to share my ideas and expertise with others to have the team fall apart and those people go solo and use my ideas.

We have always worked as a team, Ron and I.  When we had our own brokerage, we were five on the team, which included an assistant for all of us.  Everyone was a self starter and did not need to be motivated or prodded.  That is what made the team great and lots of fun. A

I am a one person operation by choice. When I first started, I didn't trust anyone in the mortgage broker business, so I did everything myself. In 2003 I hired a processor with 12 years experience, but too many times I had to review the file for one reason or another. She got pregnant, was on bed rest, so she quit. Best thing that every happened to me. I've had up to 80 loans in the pipeline and did all the processing myself. I woke up a 2 AM with a list in my head of the things I needed to that day. That was a little too much, but I'm fine with even half that amount per month. Never afraid to work harder.

I work solo.

But my ambulatory security system called Sasquatch my take exception.

Then there is the guy who does the online marketing.

Then there are those who cobble together the videos.

And those who create the source media.

The printer and delivery folks.

The REMAX Realtec office folks who make sure the calls come to me.

And my accountant, attorney, and the hard to find proof reader.

The coach, the mentor and the broker looking for what's due this month.

Yes, I work alone, solo.
