The Myth of the Real Estate Office: Why Agents Don't Need a Physical Workspace Many real estate agents cling to the idea that they need a physical office space to be successful. Common reasons cited include being able to meet with the broker, having a distraction-free workspace, and rubbing elbows with top producers. However, these justifications don't hold up to scrutiny in today's virtual real estate world. Brokers Have Limited Availability: Brokers, whether they are broker/owners trying to sell homes themselves or managing brokers overseeing dozens of agents, rarely have time for impromptu meetings or hand-holding. Their priority is managing the business, not catering to every agent's questions on demand. An available state broker via virtual communication is a much more efficient way to get timely guidance. Offices Are Distractions, Not Havens: Rather than being distraction-free zones, real estate offices are often gossip traps full of interruptions from other agents. Private, soundproofed workspaces are hard to come by. By contrast, a professional home office provides a quiet, controlled environment for focused work. Top Producers Don't Simply "Rub Off": Spending time around successful agents doesn't guarantee their strategies will osmose into you. Top producers guard their books of business carefully and don't easily share trade secrets, unless there's something in it for them. Virtual mastermind groups provide much better opportunities to gain insight from top talent when it's in their interest to share knowledge with you. The Virtual Office Is Today's Solution Rather than sinking resources into physical office space, forward-thinking brokerages are embracing the virtual office model. Agents get fast access to state brokers, can join nationwide groups with top producers willing to share their strategies, and may even get free access to on-demand workspace reservations through services like Regus. The traditional real estate office has become an unnecessary overhead cost and distraction in today's mobile, digital world.

Jospeh’s the best mentor ever!🙏🏼🎉🙌🏼 makes the information easy to understand and fun!🎉

If you are an agent in Colorado this has been part of the agent / client arrangements since 2006 that I remember. Coming from Colorado its just the way. The push back is normally from out-of-state buyer's coming from a state where it was never heard of, but within CO many were use to it. ;-)

This is extremely effective!

great convo

This is fire......

This is the truth! Contact ratio compared to cold calling is much higher plus you get to pretty much pick where you want to work. Door knock those fresh expireds and fsbos! I really love bullseye prospecting. I look up a house that sold over asking price in the area. My script is: Hi, (if they have the look like oh no a salesperson) I just say in a friendly tone "I'm not selling anything, I'm just curious if you saw the house on 123 main street?" Sometimes they say no. I continue with "this place has a beautiful ___ and went over asking leaving other buyers in the dust still searchingthis specific area. I thought I would ask around if any of the neighbors would be looking to advantage of this within the next 12 months or so" sometimes we hit it off, and/or get a reference or themselves wanting to list in the future. When I ask for their information I just say "if you want me to keep you personally updated on actives/pendings in your neighborhood I can email you a list of what's going on every month or season" boom that's it. Once I get their email on top of sending them an email I mail a lead a handwritten card just saying how I enjoyed speaking with them and naming something specific they mentioned. Attention female real estate agents! If you are nervous like me about running into some creeper this lovely app Fore Warn is great for finding out what people have in their past or present. It's not free unfortunately but worth it...well at least to me haha.

Great vid and great info Joseph!

Very informative! And all those tips were right on! It took me 5 years to get my business we’re I needed it to be so that I can drive into real estate full time. Great content Joseph!

Great content Joe! Thank you.

Thank you for this great tips! 👏🏻

I wish I had seen this video before I started in RE. This is a must watch if you're currently thinking about becoming a realtor. This is VALUE!

I love your examples! People can relate to them!

A lot to think about for sure. Very helpful advice, thank you.

Dropping knowledge Professor Limo!

Are you an agent about to make this transition? If so, I'd love your questions, concerns, and metrics that are important to YOUR decision! Full-time agents - I would love some of your tips and advice for agents about to make this leap! Finally, if any agent watching this wants to further discuss their transition or if I can be helpful in any way, reach out! 😀

Great content. I think another factor is education. Be in the game, study your market deeply, become a real estate analyst, learn the best marketing techniques, understand how loans, appraisals, Home inspections impact the transaction process. The more articulate and knowledgeable you can be to any possible question, the more clients will trust you as the subject matter expert. Getting prospects to answer calls, emails, or listen to your pitch is half the battle, delivering value is the other. Without the mastery, going full time will be a struggle to set yourself apart from the next guy. Keep ‘em going Joseph!

Not Joe making me rethink my career! 😍🏡

Hi

What a beautiful home! Especially the backyard. Thank You Joseph! -Adrian G

Well done Mr. Limo.

Two sister's buying a house together? That doesn't sound smart. What happens if one of them wants to sell and the other doesn't?

I like the background, the flag and the Karate suit ( black belt).

Good job Joe, keep it up.

Keep up the Good work.

Geez please

Selling Real Estate serves a much greater purpose for me. My fulfillment comes from a sincere desire to help others get what they want in their lives, because I really care about my clients.
