My last post attracted many commenters who shared the fact that they worked from home every day rather than having a desk at their office. I’ve always had a strong opinion on the topic of working from home. Let me preface this post by saying that I have the same set up at home as I do at the office, and I have the ability to work from home also.
As the market continues to become more challenging every month, I’m noticing that agents who previously worked from home are now making an appearance at the office more frequently. When that happens, there is always a conversation about business and new ideas are shared.
Without those new ideas and thoughts, there are transactions that may not have happened. Without that interaction with other agents, there are listings that may have been lost to another office. There are many positive factors involved with having an office environment available to agents.
Many agents in other offices refuse to go into the office because of the social hour that occurs every day. If an office has agents who are all business, those social hours do not happen. I have to say that our RE/MAX Executive Realty office in Franklin MA is an office filled with agents who are all business.
There is synergy every day; there are agents who energize one another; there are learning sessions; there are sharing sessions; and there are agents who are focused on production. How can working from home beat that type of environment?
If your office is not structured with agents who interact with each other and share business scenarios with each other, it may be time for your "broker/owner" to restructure your office. As I said in my last post, eliminate all of the negative elements, and your agents will soar from there. Make your office a “stimulating work environment” and you’ll have agents who work successfully together.
