I had a very interesting conversation this morning with a friend on Facebook. She wants to get involved in a career in Real Estate. She is local to my area, and I know her fairly well.
She started this morning- "Josh, can I ask you some questions about real estate?"
"Of course"
"Im thinking about getting into real estate, can you explain the process?"
It was a refreseher course, what a trip down memory lane.
Then came the juice, she asked me, "Josh, why did you choose to work at the local Belfair Windermere?"
I told her that the great thing about real estate, is that there is an office to fit every type of agent and what you are looking for. It's all preference, but here is my reasoning.
I explained how Windermere fit me personally, and what I look for in a brokerage. The reputation of a company is huge, that is a shadow you will be constantly in.
I told her to choose a company that would represent her well. Interview around, see what each company has to offer. Everything is a negotiation tool.
Another question about location came up. She asked me why I chose to work locally. I explained that it is not for everyone, and that is also all upto the person. I enjoy being a local agent, being known around town, and being invloved in my community. Some agents need that separation from work and home.
Why did you select the company that you work for?
How does your brokerage fit your specific needs?
