In the past, on both Bloodhound Blog and Active Rain, (http://activerain.com/blogsview/391695/What-Do-Agents-Want) I have said from time to time, that I certainly would not mind having a few experienced, top agents to help with the heavy lifting.
Although we've both been in the biz for over 25 years, Bob and I waited until 2000 to open our own office. Dan Jordinelli, a long, long time friend opened his own office in 1986. Both of our firms are successful and well known in the community.
A couple weeks ago, Dan approached us with a proposal to join forces. Dan wants to get back in the field and do what he loves: Sell real estate. Oh, and some of his agents want to come along.
Oh. My. Goodness. Here is the opportunity to add several top-notch experienced people, just like that; and to build a real local, independent, powerhouse brokerage in Northeast Los Angeles, in this new post-bail-out-era of real estate.
I am deeply and profoundly grateful for my good fortune. :-)



Congratulations Cheryl what a wonderful venture. Best of Luck!
