But yes, a part of it is that the Big Brokerages need to wake up. I know some people see the issues -- Pam and Sherry are just two examples. But too many still take the approach that it's business as usual, and all you gotta do is batten down the hatches. I just don't believe <i>that</i>. In terms of Big Broker never winning you or other top producers over, as things are today, they cannot. As things <i>could be</i> tomorrow, with an awake, empowered, and once-again-hungry big gorilla in your marketplace... I'm not convinced. But again, I'm arguing counter-factuals, so that makes my position far weaker as compared to the Kristian position. :) -rsh @Sue -

BTW, congrats on the wyoming jitney to maplewood train station. Did you have something to do with that? Anyway, back to topic - I really see the bind you're in. I can tell you're torn and may possibly even be in therapy over this inner struggle you're dealing with. :) You work for big broker so a part of me thinks your backing them is all for show. However, you are so brilliant, and must feel such frustration with the whole corporate heirarchy mindset( delusional - your word, not mine). Are you stirring up this conversation to make a point to them so that they will read it and see the light? I just don't see how Big Broker could ever win me or other top producing agent teams back because the top agents dont need big broker to lead generate, and the commission structure doesn't work with top agent teams at Big Broker. Furthermore, we have access to all of the education, models & technology out there to grow our teams and market ourselves and our listings, so how will big broker ever be able to convince top teams that the only reason their neighbor listed with them was because you're with big broker? Brings to mind the American Auto industry trying to fool the consumer with the slogan " We're not your daddy's car."
