Arranging Local Office Privileges Out-of-Town, or, “The Goldilocks Solution”
If you’re a busy agent (I am) who has multiple social obligations (I do), it can be important, if/when you travel, to line up office privileges at a sister broker.
Headed to the Bay Area for 48 hours this weekend, I spoke with Irene Wright in Edina Realty’s Relocation department to find a local office where I could drop in, if necessary.
Here’s a recap of our conversation:
Me: “Does Edina Realty have an affiliate near Palo Alto?”
Irene: “We have a sister company in Cupertino.”
Me: “Too far south.”
Irene: “How about San Ramon?”
Me: “Too far Northeast.”
Irene: “Hold on while I check . . . How about Alain Pinel Realtors on University Ave. in Palo Alto?”
Me: “Perfect!”
Elapsed time: less than 2 minutes.
Thanks, Irene!
P.S.: The ability to drop in at any of Edina Realty’s two dozen-plus Twin Cities offices when I’m out and about is even more valuable.
