Crazy busy and a little crazy
It has been a busy couple of weeks for me which is why you have not seen me so much on agent Genius. Business has picked up in a huge way and less than two weeks ago I moved to Saint Paul Home Realty.
It was an easy move. I own everything associated with my business. All I had to do was change some logos. My phone numbers, email address and web sites all remain the same.
I changed my logos and it changed my life
I changed my logos a few hours after my license was transferred. After that things really changed for me. I feel energized again and I love my job more than ever. I am not even sure why that is but I feel like everything has changed. For the first time in a long time I am excited about today and about the future for the first time in a couple of years.
Our office is downtown, less than a mile from my home office. The photo in this post was taken from the window. I didn’t move my office because there is no reason to, but it will be nice to have an office close by when I need it and I like it. It is in an old brick building right in the center of where I work.
Small is the new Big
The company is a small boutique firm; in fact it grew by 33% the day I joined. We have all of the technology the big companies have, and in my case I have it all in my home.
It is all very cost effective too. I don’t have to pay for anything I am not using and that has cut my expenses. Some of the expenses that I was paying on my own have been picked up by the brokerage.
Real estate is local and so am I
The message I sent to my clients was that real estate is local and so are we. Since a great percentage of my clients are neighbors they thought it was wonderful that I made the move. They know that I love St. Paul and that is where I like to work, and when you get right down to it where I belong.
Small business – portable business
A few years ago I started the process of making my business portable and of owning all of it. It can be moved any where is the greatest of ease. It can expand or contract and move in any direction as the economic and market conditions dictate. It is lean, mean and very nimble. I had planned on starting my own brokerage but only because I thought I had to.  I would rather be an associate broker and focus on building my real estate business than on building a brokerage.
