One of my dear friends and colleagues owns several offices in our County, one of the top national names. I've got an office waiting for me and one for the dog if I'll come aboard, but no one's holding their breath. LOL We take care of each other as if we work for the same company anyway. I have relationships like that with several brokers in my area.

There are the weekly emails from full commission internet brokers like Allison James.  Last year I did get a recruitting call from Re/Max corporate wanting to talk to me about opening up a new branch for them... which I told them was pretty silly since there were 3 branches out here already.  The year before a Century 21 office tried to recruit me to be their manager.  Told them thanks but I didn't leave one 8-5 job to go into another.

ha... I once asked a sales manager from another office why she only attempted to recruit agents in my office and not me!!!  she said if I worked there, the agents would never listen to her again...only me... I never left any company unless there was a career advancement for me.... I stayed at least 10 years at each company and I've been with RE/MAX for 22 years of the 40 in real estate....

Seems to be continuously, mostly by email. Some of the emails I get from brokers are 3-4 hours away. Actual phone calls seem to average 2 a month. Sometimes they come in spurts. I really get tired of the all the invites to meet for coffee 1-2 hours away. These people seem to think i have nothing better to do than waste 3-4 hours driving to meet them for coffee and listen to thire sales pitch?

Frequently. It use to be that I couldn't even walk my dog down Main Street without the one of the broker/owners from a big box chain rolling down his car window and yelling...when are you going to join xxxxx.

Keep in mind I live in an extremely rural area. So when I say Main Street...that is a common area in which to run into people.
