A few months ago, I found that it was time to make a move to another brokerage.

It wasn’t because one morning I woke up and felt a compelling urge to move. Because at this stage of my career, I knew it was not going to be the easiest thing for me to do.

Fortunately for me, I know most of the agents in this small town of Cabot, AR and I have good relationships with the majority of them. I did my research, talked to several agents and Brokers and resorted to the old fashioned “Ben Franklin” close.  You may have heard of it…. it’s quite simple.  Draw a T on a piece of paper dividing it into two columns. On the right side list all the reasons to stay. On the Left side list all the reasons to leave.

For me, it all boiled down to technology. I have considered myself to be a ‘would-be geek’ as long as I can remember. I can write a little code, I’ve embraced Customer Relationship Managers since the early 90’s, and I like to see progressive changes in marketing.

It’s not an easy process.  New cards and contacting clients is only a small part of it. It is changing all of your websites, Facebook Pages, Blogs… everything.

So now I’m with Crye-Leike Realtors – Cabot Branch. Let the good times roll!
