@Conway MorganLike i said, not sure if it's the company or the brokerage.... i do know an agent that went to a different office then im In and she wasn't happy at all.. and she is experienced... they are very competitive (same as my office) and she's used to more of a team environment..

That, combined with more companies moving towards a remote office environment, may hurt us.

Both arguments have great merit but our current lending environment should be discussed too. 

I'll put my 2 cents in here: I live in BC, and invest primarily in AB, but am keeping an eye on the changing landscape in BC right now, as well as the Golden Horseshoe in Ontario, with the changing market environment of rising rates. 

Being that I am sometimes introverted and greatly value my times of solitude, it's impossible to feel at home in this type of environment.

My goal is to foster a collaborative environment where we can share experiences, strategies, and tips to help each other succeed.Looking forward to engaging in meaningful discussions, learning from your experiences, and contributing my knowledge to help others grow in their real estate endeavors.

personally the whole "double closing" that they do is pretty lame ... it eats margin on the deal and they are not doing anything but creating an environment that makes you feel like everything is super time sensitive and create a sense of urgency.  

Notably, in contrast to historical accelerations in transaction activity each year, 2023 investment activity shuffled sideways, with each quarter contributing roughly $13 billion to the annual total.Among the varying price points in the retail investment market, two major strategies characterize today's capital markets environment.

The deal looked workable and so I committed due to the current competitive investing environment.

I personally do not expect declines beyond impact from rising rates in San Diego because 1) there is a housing shortage (supply/demand) 2) the area is geographically constrained by ocean, Mexico, Camp Pendleton, and quick harsh environment going east 3) climate is near best in nation 4) diverse good employment. .
