Today a co-worker / co-agent asked me if I like working with a team better than being alone. This caused me to thing a bit and I had to ask the following questions to the agent:
I had to think of my own answers and here is what I came up with:
WHY ASK THE QUESTION?
It's important to understand why teams exsist. For some its the team work model, for others its the mentoring and flexibility that having peers near by brings. There is also a security element to being on a team. How does that saying go... Together Everyone Achieves More!...
Well its true, a well organized team multiplies both the input and the output (production) when all cylinders are firing, however, when all cylinders are NOT firing things can go bad. Therefore you must first understand the team struction options... Loose Partnerships or Team Leads are the two basic options.
Both have pluses and minus so read "The Millionare Real Estate Agent" and then decide for yourself.
ARE YOU THINKING OF JOINING A TEAM?
Joining an established team means you are a subordinate, learn your place, play your role and you are likely to make lots of money without all the responsibility.
Do you want to hook up with another agent? Make sure you are evenly yoked... what ever you are great at they should be good, what ever you are weak at they should balance you out. What ever your work ethic, drive and determination level is they should match it. NO EXCEPTIONS.
WHAT ADVANTAGES DO YOU THINK BEINGON A TEAM AFFORD THAT WORKING ALONE DOES NOT?
Lighter duty and greater balance and follow up! Everyone can share in the pot IF they meet quota... less if you don't.
GoodLuck....

Stephanie & Robert Coulombe - This was our first home buying experience, everyone told us how tedious the mortgage process can be. We were pleasantly surprised how easy AMIC made this process for us. They understood this was our first mortgage experience and encouraged us to ask as many questions as we needed to. They explained EVERYTHING to us! Follow up calls and personal attention was GREAT! They really made us feel comfortable about our first huge investment. We would definitely recommend AMIC to anyone!
Steve Melillo - I've used AMIC on several occasions and they have always been timely, efficient and professional. I would use them again and again as their performance has always been exceptional.
John & Christine Moses - I think you guys do a great job of keeping clients informed on the happenings of the market; what the rates are; what you can expect to happen, etc.. The loan processors at AMIC are reasonable, caring and most important, knowledgable. It's their knowledge that comes through the mortgage process. I'd recommend them to anyone, and have!
Paul Rotondi - Very professional and courteous. I have used AMIC in the past for investment property and I am extremely happy with the service. Would definitely recommend to other people in need of loan or refi!
Annette Gaeta - I would highly recommend your services and look forward to future transactions. Another smooth and fine process made easy when in the hands of Alternative Mortgage professionals - Total comfort at closing table, no hidden or last minute charges.
Rhinold Ponder - They provided excellent service and offered comfort during a trying time.
Susan Anderson - In my 5 years of investing in real estate, I have dealt with other mortgage brokers. Until Now, I have not found one that does everything they say they will do to help you get approved. I would recommend AMIC and their staff to anyone seeking a pleasurable experience in obtaining a mortgage.
Peter Cino, Jr. - ... fantastic help to me. She was always accessable and able to answer all of my questions promptly and correctly. Alternative Mortgage made this normally nightmarish procedure much easier to deal with. I always felt that AMIC was my ally in this process, not an opponent.
Walter Quackenbush - Being an attorney I have dealt with many lenders both professionally and on personal matters. This, by far, was my best experience.
