Great post by Kris Taylor on the website Multifamily INSIDERS today. Kris writes, creating a rental department (“in-house agent”) is an option for brokerages to further service their clients. We agree that leasing is a specialty which when done well can be a HUGE benefit to a sales agent or brokerage, helping increase the number of sales transactions and the retention of business. This being said, is it a benefit to create your own leasing agency or is it best to partner with an existing leasing brokerage? Over the next few posts, I will cover some of the many reasons that a sales brokerage should consider a partnership with an existing agency as their first choice.
