However, what we have done best is that while having 50 agents, we have just 2 salaried individuals. Everything else we've written computer software to automate. We also shun newspaper / print advertising.</p>Eric StegemannThu, 12 Feb 2009 12:24:57 -0000http://blog.roost.com/2009/01/15/some-brokerages-just-get-it/#comment-10238467<p>Interesting post. I'm wondering if that firm also has less overhead (less brick &amp; mortar)? That's the thing that seems to be killing so many offices right now - in addition to spending a fortune on print advertising, they have large offices to support with few productive agents.</p><p>I'd love to know more about them....</p>Mary Pope-HandyThu, 12 Feb 2009 10:49:49 -0000http://blog.roost.com/2009/01/15/some-brokerages-just-get-it/#comment-10238465<p>That's what's happening in my real estate market. The old school brokerages who still rely on their full page newspaper ads are losing agents and not selling homes. Internet is King, and brokerages that use innovative sites are finding a way to get by. We need to get Roost to Utah.</p>Provo HomesFri, 23 Jan 2009 23:06:31 -0000
