What a transaction entails: oodles of paperwork, countless hours of showing requests needing coordination, inspection meetings, ongoing and persistent and aggressive marketing, client-agent meetings, MLS modifications, phone and internet constant communication... ect.

• Perception of an Agent Working on a Team: By entering the team atmosphere, you gain something valuable: money on marketing, a pool of leads, and/or rent-free office space. This comes at the cost of most of your office's marketing going to the whole office so standing out is a challenge.
