Why Independent Agent?
Your name is generating your business – you should control it
You’ve spent your career in real estate building the name, brand, skills, network and reputation to not only generate deals but enjoy doing it. The problem is, that you’re in an office that is engineered to account for the average (the mean).
This means systems, structures, restrictions and processes made to account for under-performers as well as over-performers.
What it doesn’t account for, is the fact that you already know what you’re doing. You already know what does and doesn’t work in your market. And you already know how to manage your own life.
The worst part – is that your office is charging you a high % for the pleasure of being micro managed. Independent agent is a robust infrastructure that handles all the boring shit whilst providing a stable platform for you to do real restate your way.
Join us today and escape the brand police, office politics and babysitting you’ve grown to hate.ons.
