There are lots of types of smart. None of us is superior in all categories.

Debbie,
NO, at some point it would come to a head, when you notice someone not doing a job as well as it should be done. A

Since I don't consider myself working "for" any broker, I don't really care.

The Broker should know the real estate business and be available to help us if we have questions about real estate. I like Inna's comment that there are some poeple good in some things etc.

AS long as the Broker stqands behind me when I need them to it doesn't matter.

No, and it does not take much to be smarter than all the brokers.

My dad used to say that you can learn something from everyone, even if you believe the person is dull and shallow. Often you do not know what you do not know.
You can be better in some things, but you can not be better in everything. The idea that some people around you are better or smarter, and some people are ''not as good'' and in some ways you are better than them is simply toxic!
People that you look down upon, they are better than you/me in many aspects. You just cannot see it yet. Perhaps, one day you will.

Well he/she is in charge for some reason and sometimes people are more intelligent than other people think they are.

It isn't always about being the smartest. Being helpful and supportive carries a lot of weight. Being a good leader and energetic are good qualities that are respected. Integrity matters too.

That's a tough one Debbie. There was a time, when I would have a problem with it, but now, I think it would work out if the broker would help me help them become a better broker. Some people don't take help from their underlings very well.

interesting question...probably not for long!!! :) The whole point in having a broker is to have someone you can look up to and use in difficult circumstances.

Sure, but you do need to know where to find the info that they may be unfamiliar with.

They say one of the best roads to success is to surround yourself with people that are smarter than you are. You really have to be self-confident to do that. As a former managing broker, I can tell you, you may not know all the answers but if your broker is willing to get in there and dig and find the answers, you should consider yourself pretty lucky. Great agents don't always make great brokers. Many times they think the agent should know the answer to the question they are asking. BUT everything has its limits. Only you know what you are really talking about when you say "Not smarter than you are".....

My experience has been that if the Broker wasn't as smart as me in one thing, they would be smarter than me in another. Well, except for the one Broker who was just dishonest. She wasn't smart, she wasn't kind and the only thing she excelled at was deceit.

Not as smart as me?
Hmmm, do you mean a broker who has not discovered their unblemished inner sanctuary?
Do you mean a broker who is not tuned into the real need of small business owners in a convulsing market place?
Or do you mean a broker who does not know the poison pills embedded in a real estate like-kind trade?
I HIRE THEM for the latter, and I DO NOT WORK FOR a broker. A broker is woefully incapable of understanding the greater dimension a life of fullness so no such expectation exists.

Good morning Debbie. I'm sure if you asked the loan officers that work for me, they would all say they are smarter than me, which is what they should be doing. That is the way they were taught.

Good Sunday morning Debbie. That is a tough question. Sadly, there are a lot of folks in this industry who think that they are smarter than everyone else in this industry.

Talk smart, street smart- there are many who can, For $25K fee anyone can join a name brokerage and start his brokerage.
To be intellectually at same or similar wave length I have not yet seen one. Most brokers wanted to run a business. Almost all want to make money and many lack integrity....

No because at a brokerage you should be growing, and if your not then you need to explore new opportunities

I hope that I would realize prior to signing up with a brokerage that the broker was not qualified to lead, manage, teach, mentor me and I would certainly not want to work with that broker.
