Metro Brokers - The Differences

The purpose of this document is to a list of some of the unique "differences" Metro Brokers offers Agents that other franchises do not. It outlines the reasons why I came to Metro Brokers and why I plan to stay. My summary is intended to be helpful and assist other agents to make their decision as to where to hang their license.

What Metro Brokers  is NOT:

1. No 45,000 sf Trophy Mansion on a hilltop.

2. No Yacht for the exclusive use of management.

3. No private Golf & Country Club with restricted access.

4. No Corporate Jet for the convenience of executive management.

5. No MLM-style Ponzi scheme offering a retirement fund and burdening new agents.

6. No high agent fees and splits to pay for all of the above executive toys for the privileged few.

7. Disgruntled Agents complaining openly about their corporate overheads and performance.

8. Certainly not enough hot air to fill a balloon!

What Metro Brokers  IS:

Metro Brokers is a collaborative effort of funds, expertise, time, experience, and resources by Independent Agents who pool their efforts for mutual benefit. This results in economies of scale, better thought-out solutions, volume buying power, marketing, advertising, and shared cost of common tools, resources, software, blogs, and corporate staff. At year end, excess funds are rolled over into next year's budget. Metro Brokers is more a cooperative, than a franchise.

Metro Brokers supports ALL types of real estate - Land, Water Rights, Residential, Investment, Commercial, Office, Industrial and Property Management. Metro Brokers supports an enabling, inclusive, and independent attitude; not a restrictive "do it our way" attitude. Metro Brokers executives are personally approachable and sincerely dedicated to helping every Metro Brokers agent.

            1. On-line contracts software              2. Leading edge website

            3. Corporate training                           4. Corporate camaraderie

The Future Of Metro Brokers:

Most franchises operate on a competitive, "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately?" premise. This is the narrowly focused "traditional" real estate office model that is out-of-date and on its way out.

(Paris Hilton says it best: "I'm not from the Olden Days.")

Metro Brokers promotes and encourages cooperation, shared effort, common goals, and has a "how-can-we-help-you?" premise. Very refreshing, very in tune with today's Clients, and headed to a bright future!

No, not perfect, but unlike franchises... Metro Brokers understands the problem... and they are working on it.

MetroBrokersTV: I am Amy Chase with Metro Brokers TV and we are here today with Dianne Haynes out of the Rifle office. Dianne, welcome

Dianne Haynes: Thank you. It's great to be here today

MetroBrokersTV: Great. Tell us a little bit about your office, where you are located, how many people are working underneath you and how things are going in Rifle, Colorado?

Dianne Haynes: We have seven brokers in our office, six of us are owners and if people don't know where Rifle is, it's between Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction, Colorado. People are usually more familiar with those towns, but we are kind of centered in the oil and gas industry explosion right now. We have a lot of influx of those kinds of people. We are very excited. We have been in business for a year-and-a-half and we welcome anybody to call us or come visit us on the web, look us up. We would be happy to visit and talk.

MetroBrokersTV: Great. So, your business is really booming right now.

Dianne Haynes: It's doing very well. We still have a lot of people who are what I would call transient workers who come in and work for a year or two and they are mainly renting, but we still have a lot of management type people in the industry and we have... the community of Rifle itself is drawing... our hospital is expanding, we have new doctors coming in and I do some work with them, helping them find homes; businesses are expanding. So, we do have, because of the influx of the oil and gas industry, so, it's kind of a domino effect and we are doing very well.

MetroBrokersTV: Great. Exciting times and also new to our website is the fact that the Aspen Rifle MLS is up and running now.

Dianne Haynes: Right.

MetroBrokersTV: Tell me a little bit about what that means for you and your business and your presence on the web.

Dianne Haynes: Well, Rifle is still kind of a small town. We are about 8000 people, but the Aspen Glenwood MLS encompasses quite a large area. So, for us to be on that and to be on the website is really meaningful to us because a lot of people still have not heard of Rifle, but they have heard of other... they have heard of Aspen, they have heard of Glenwood; so, when they go to those MLS' or look in that area, we are right there and we are just very pleased to have our presence finally there.

MetroBrokersTV: Great. Well, thanks so much for joining us today and we will talk to you soon.

Dianne Haynes: Thank you.
