I've mentioned before on this forum that I left my broker after being with him for 22 years. It was like family. But there was a "new company in town" that basically allowed me to earn almost twice what I was earning from my original company.

I miss all of my old pals but they weren't paying my bills. I still keep in touch & was even invited to the Christmas party (& I've been gone almost a year).

My broker didn't flip out in front of me but I'm sure there were fireworks after the fact. Plus his son, daughter-in-law & wife all worked there & I heard that his kids were stunned & very upset that I left. Almost like, "How could she?!"

Here's the kicker. After leaving I was kind of lost with my 1st new company (now with a 2nd new company). Plus I had halted business waiting for closings from my original company before moving on. Bottom line is I did less deals than the year before yet doubled my income.

You have to think of yourself first, everyone else does. And a broker flipping out is ridiculous & unprofessional. They shouldn't burn their bridges like that. What if you weren't happy with the new company? You sure wouldn't go back to him.

Move on & best of luck.
