Timing Isn’t Everything
I was adamant that now was not the time to change brokerages. I thought: I should be focusing on getting business not new business cards; getting boxes for clients, not for myself. But I needed something. I soon discovered it was an attitude adjustment.
Change Is Good?
I was at the same brokerage for ten years. Obviously, change is not my favorite thing. Through the expansion and contraction, I hung in there. What goes on behind the scenes of a company is none of my business but when it started to impact me in a negative way, I had to think: Is this really where I want to be? But then I’d go back to: It’s not a good time to make a change.
By the time of this exchange, I had had enough and had found a new home – hopefully for at least the next ten years.
Unexpected Result
The new place – just like the old one – has desks and phones, copy machines; all the things you would expect in an office. What’s different is me.
What I didn’t expect is the reaction I got. When I told my clients and others, like my BNI group, I got surprise – like I was a better agent. “Wow, if they took her she must be good.” Now, we all know that the consumer is hiring us, the individual, to work for them. But if your brokerage doesn’t have the reputation you deserve – bad timing or not – move.
