I cannot tell you how frustrating that was trying to find the type of property we were looking for when there was no good medium to figure out what was even on the market (by agent, FSBO or otherwise.)Again, my only disagreement is you seem to paint the entire industry and everyone that works in it in a poor light.

The “Inc.â€, which stands for “Incorporated†you will find is very useful when advertising in a medium that does not allow “blind advertising.†Blind advertising is when the receiver of the advertisement is never given the legal name of the advertiser.

For reference, this is a medium sized brokerage (about 3000 agents), so the support and marketing are pretty decent as well.That said, there are some advantages to getting a broker's license.

This is for low/medium end urban NJ market so its different from warmer places or places where laminate is unacceptable (Manhattan).

Mike, Have you considered adding different marketing mediums to the general areas that you are targeting?

Now we are now looking to the next horizon which will include multi family, medium to large size if we can find the right partner and the right deal.

Again, find a happy medium that makes both sides happy and makes it a successful build.

Most importantly for me is securing solid deals, with a medium to long term view with positive cash flow.
