I think it&#8217;s well past time for the layout of the &#8220;traditional&#8221; real estate office to change.  As a customer, I see woefully little that is designed around my needs.  As someone with a vested interest in the success of this industry, I see wasted costs galore that make my stomach churn.  [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s no secret that our industry doesn&#8217;t score high marks for customer service or trustworthiness. We are usually ranked on the bottom half of the scale, alongside used car salespeople and mechanics!

To see how one small change, or even one degree, can make a huge difference watch this video.  Then challenge yourself [...]]]></description>
