The panel is joined by Linsey Planeta, owner of Belterra Fine Homes in Orange County, California who has experience in larger brokerages as well as opening and owner a boutique brokerage of her own. The panel discusses the dominant brokerage model and how it may be changing with the vast industry changes happening today. Can brokerages afford the high-overhead, fixed expense model of the past? Is it what agents want? The panel discusses new models emerging and how they are impacting their markets. Finally, the panel of 3 brokerage founders and managers discuss what a prospective brokerage owner should consider before making his/her move.
