The changing times
Technology is changing everything. The real estate industry is being forever changed by three powerful revolutions. They are the internet revolution, the information revolution and the home office revolution. HomeBased Realty is a leader in the home office concept and is ahead of the curve leading the way in these three powerful revolutions ! The next generation real estate professional and the next generation buyer and seller will be very proficient with technology and the internet and will very likely have a home office.
Realestate professionals are relying less and less on their "traditional " broker's facilities and equipment and we believe that the larger brick and mortar presence of the "traditional and top heavy" real estate office will some day become obsolete. With technology changing how and where we work, HomeBased Realty was created and designed with a non-traditional structure. Walk into most real estate offices today and you will find them 70-80% empty most of the time .
HomeBased Realty has a much smaller brick and mortar presence known as the "Workcenter" and focuses on a much larger virtual presence by way of the internet. Technology has allowed us to work from just about anywhere, including our homes. Our associates are more mobile, utilizing laptop computers, cell phones, portable printers, scanners, digital cameras, the Internet, e-mail, personal data assistants (Palm Pilots) and more!
Because technology and equipment is becoming more advanced and affordable every day,HomeBased Realty associates are able to capitalize on these tools to better service their clients in the most professional and efficient manner available. Our associates have the ability to be mobile and meet clients at the client's home if convenient or meet clients at our workcenters.
Our Associates
HomeBased Realty agents are generally more seasoned professionals joining from the larger local franchises. Our concept is what primarily attracts and retains these independent minded, progressive professionals.
WorkCenter, Lancaster Ca.
The Concept
HomeBased Realty allows its agents to primarily work from their fully equipped home offices. HomeBased Realty may provide a "WorkCenter" depending on the size of the office in your area . The "WorkCenter" is designed to accommodate the home office agent with the facilities and equipment to provide a neutral setting for agents to meet clients, negotiate sales and a place to utilize when in the field. The "WorkCenter" provides unassigned workstations, telephones, conference rooms, computer, fax and copy machines for the home office agents to use. The "WorkCenter" may be supported by private office space occupied by HomeBased Realty agents who would rather work from a private office than from their home office. The "WorkCenter" is generally much smaller in size in relation to a "traditional" real estate office with the same number of associates. This is because the majority of our sales associates work primarily from their home office. The overhead is greatly reduced, the savings are passed on to our agents normally in higher commissions kept ! You'll always enjoy rich rewards, regardless of the business volume you generate. You'll be able to focus on your personal business instead of worrying about supporting a top-heavy corporate entity.The more commissions you keep, the more you will build your business by focusing on marketing, technology , services, equipment , education & training !
HomeBased Realty is structured to allow you to be independent, our agents are responsible for their own expenses allowing them to control their business. Our company yard signs are distinctive and prominently display our company name, the listing agent name and contact number. This increases the chance you will receive sign calls from your listings and helps promote company and agent name recognition.
Advantages of a Home Office
There are many tremendous tax advantages to operating your business from your home office. Please consult your tax professional for more information and advice.The home office concept is not for everyone. However many agents agree that the benefits of working from home far out weigh the drawbacks. Working from your home office gives you convenience in servicing your clients and much more freedom and flexibility, especially if you have a busy family and need to work around your children's growing needs and schedules ! The home office concept is quickly growing and is being accepted every day by corporate America ! More and more people work from their home office every day ! According to the National Association of Realtors , 70% or approximately 700,000 Realtors maintain a home office.
