Bob,

Market share is often acquired by recruiting top agents to join the firm.  This is the best way to acquire market share in a particular market place.  They often make a tempting offer, which an agent has a hard time refusing!    It is not necessarily the number of offices, but the pool of stars in the office which become talent magnets.   A

No one firm has any noticable dominance over any other.  There is enough variety out here now that the big guys don't hold the lion's share.  Compass and some out of area small offices are starting to even get traction.

Bob, I personally do not believe Market Share is the key, it so happens we have the market share, but it is more about what you as an individual have of the market share:))

4%, 7%,10% that is what the difference is... the Broker just gets you through the door, but it what you walk out the door with matter...Endre

Here Long & Foster has the market share, sort of.  They have a huge number of offices and agents.  But they also have the lowest per capita production for each agent.  They also have a huge turnover rate and largest number of agents who leave the business with no sales.  They do have some terrific agents  - it's sort of a numbers game.
