Default Re: Changing Brokers... advice

Racecar, Keep this in mind. I learned it 6 months into this business. Nothing is permanent.

I left one office for another. I was "hired" and then "fired" before ever getting to training because, ready for this, they had just recruited a big player from my office as well and this "player" had not told our old broker yet. The person was actually training for one company while still working at the other. I would have ended up in the same class as they were. So they let me go. I, of course was never told this until many months later when it all hit the fan.

I moved onto another company and my first day there was the managers last day. He was going to another company. Fast forward, because this gets long, his previous boss (regional president of the company) was fired for something and is now at another company as well. Mean time, the person who had canned me use to work for the company I went to.

Is this confusing yet? Let me add that the company I went to had over 60 agents. more than a dozen of them had belonged to another firm. They had left firm A to go to firm B which then got bough up by firm A and you guessed it, the agents were back to firm A.

The point is, people in this business tend to move firms quicker than Angelina Jolee adopts babies. (or should I say Madonna)
