Metro Brokers TV: Hi.
This is Mark Eibner. I am with
Metro Brokers TV and we are down at the CAR exhibition floor here at the Broadmoor
in Colorado Springs
and I am with Jay Holliday. Welcome Jay.
Jay Holliday: How are you doing Mark? It's a great day today and glad to see
everybody here at the convention.
Metro Brokers TV: Actually Jay, can you tell us little bit
about the history, how long you have been in the business and really how long
you have been with Metro?
Jay Holliday: You know, I started... actually I was looking
for a little better way and in 1979, when there were probably... I am going to
say about 20-25 Metro Brokers at the time, I decided that I was looking kind of
for a better way, a little less expensive way and decided to go check out Metro
Brokers and that was 1979. I have been a
Metro Broker ever since, so, quite a few years.
Metro Brokers TV: Well, that is... you are probably one of the
longest license in Metro Brokers.
Jay Holliday: Well, I certainly have days that I felt like
it, but it's a great concept. You know,
it has helped me, it has helped me challenge myself, look for a better
way. I found it to be probably the best
deal out there, especially for the cost and you know when you have got almost
2000 members to help you out, it really does help build the network, especially
in the State of Colorado.
Metro Brokers TV: So, 1976, '79, here we are today, 2008-2009,
some similar correlations as far as the lending situation and the economy,
etc. Has Metro Brokers been a good model
for you to well survive the future here?
Jay Holliday: I think it will and I think one of the
reasons is that you get so many entrepreneurial people and they are able to
kind of work in to this system and you know times were tough then and I think
times are tough now, but what helps you as a company that's got great name
recognition that can back you up so that you know when you are out there,
working with the consumer that they really know that they are dealing with a
professional.
Metro Brokers TV: We are still one of the true, original and
true 100% commission shops.
Jay Holliday: Yeah.
I... you know, I look for Metro Brokers to grow. I think you know, when you go out there and
you check the marketplace and you look at all the companies, I think there are some
great... great concepts, but for the cost and for being your own boss and for
being able to work for a company for a reasonable amount, I don't think there
is anything to beat it and especially with the web experience that we have now
in the marketplace and you know we are really trying to put some of our funds
towards that and I think that's going to really make the company grow.
Metro Brokers TV: Great.
