When I sat in a large real estate office in a DFW TX suburb 10 years ago (I'm independent now, broker of a small family of firms in N. Central Texas) I used to laugh as agents would excitedly spring from their office chairs and exclaim,"NEVER! I have never!  In 30 years of real estate, I have never....."This near daily occurance never ceased to amaze and entertain me. It made me laugh out loud. It made me think. It taught me countless lessons -- each "proclomation" served as interesting education. It illustrates -- to this day -- how unique our career path really is. When you can do your job for 30 years and still experience firsts on a regular basis, that is one unique career path!I have been in real estate since 2003, a little over 14 years. This is not long in "Realtor years" (it's n... 02/07/2017

So I kept getting this phone call, "Kristen, blah blah blah, __ __ __ , is this normal?" I don't mean "blah blah blah" to sound rude, I mean to be vague about the topic. "Kristen, he does business this way, how do you do it? Or "Kristen, he just said this to me, is that ok?!" "What is NORMAL?" "What is common?" "Why do I feel like this ain't right?!"Once you get that question enough times and the agent is in agreement with how you would handle it vs. how their team lead or their broker would handle it, well, easy. They will change brokerages. It's just that simple.Not everyone is for everyone. I started at Coldwell Banker and it was perfect for me! The Fast Start training. The hand-holding by the in-office trainers. The consistency it offered. The management. The fellow spirited agents.... 05/17/2016
