I just went over and signed up. I could not figure out how to start a new thread though. I am sure its something obvious. I tried mousing over various things and nothing came up. This is pretty cool.

I just joined your forum. I'm not the broker for the company, but was the 2nd agent to join up with my very good friend, "The Broker".We are now up to 20 agents in our virtual office! Everyone works from home, and meets clients either at their home, or the closest Starbucks.Almost all the agents are alumni of Keller Williams, where they teach you that you should build your own brand, not the company's. So we are each building our own brands, paying our own marketing costs, and keeping more of our commissions - and no "desk fees"! OK – Count me in. I just joined your forum.

I signed up right away, voted and made a post. I love the independence of the small brokerage, but it's tough when the market is like it is in Daytona Beach.I'll admit that on the bad days I've thought of pitching it and going to work for one of the large brokerages, but so far I've kept coming back.Good luck with the forum. I'm interested in seeing how we can make it evolve.Regards,Lynn Jay,

Our office doesn’t rely on the corporate mothership REMAX to float our boat. We have been making our own way since before it was cool.

If you can use some support, I am definately willing to provide it.

Best
