Home office.  We don't need the fancy copiers or printers there and don't want the overhead of a brick and mortar.  Home works great for us.  If you need to meet people, that's why they invented starbucks... (it certainly wasn't for their coffee).

I do have an office at home, but I really work out of the brokerage office. I have many reasons for this. One is that I don't want prospective buyers and sellers coming to my house. In light of some recent events, there aren't any reasons for them to know where I live. If I want them to know, I will tell them.

I do my Business at the office and tell the agents it is good to be in the office. If they are here they are the first to find out about new listings before they hit the MLS. If a referral needs to be assigned typically an agent who is in the office may get the assignment. Allot of deals get put together by agents communicating in the hall ways!

Home office is where the work gets done.  Fewer distractions. I can work on the secret projects and intended targets without cubicle ears being tempted.

However, I do need AAA conference room and lobby presence along with the broker who is accessible. 

Why? Clients want to know they are working with a brokerage that has real substance. They are invited into the inner circle when the 'broker/owner' is introduced to these important guests.

It is not always necessary, but when it is, the local Panera just won't do.

I have worked with title companies who will put my name on the board when I reserve the conference room.

When I was a new agent I spent a LOT of time at the office.    I needed the support, interaction and the resources the office had to offer.  As an veteran agent I spent VERY little time at the office. I even emailed all my transaction documents.  I liked having both, but prefered my home office for the convenience and flexibility. The real office was just for initial client meetings and some staff meetings.
