Michael,

You’re overall message is completely valid. I would offer that is applies not just to franchising but to every real estate brokerage out there. Adapt or fade away. Small brokerages are just as guilty of holding blindly to the past but those flaws may be hidden behind a dynamic individual at the helm. It’s a lot harder to hide when you are a franchise with franchise agreements that bind you to a way of doing business for years at a time. Unless the agreement itself has built in flexibility…And some are.

I believe those companies that are superior in training, competitive technologically, offer real financial opportunity, and which have synergistic culture will win the day.

Thanks for sharing,
Jay

The excuse I get at my company about why we still have so much leased space is we are in long term leases. Well, at some point isn't it better to break the lease? I think we still need physical spaces to meet with clients. I still want a relationship with a group of fellow agents and my broker. I still want team meetings. But I would love an office space of the future with an internet cafe, coffee shop front. Meeting rooms with computers for clients. Copying, scanners, etc. I would like that at several locations around town. Centralize our admin staff and agent services. In our town, join our two brands. Pay me more of the commission and I will office out of my home instead of every agent needing office space of their own. Entry into practice...too easy. Nuf said.

There has been a growing disconnect between Franchisee, Franchisor, Agents and Brokers over the past ten years. The future is going to the company/model that can create, capture and close leads in the most cost effective manner with total customer satisfaction. That is no small order, but there are companies doing it. Thanks for the insights. Great mind expander on the current condition of the industry.
