Last week, Thursday, Coldwell Banker announced that they are closing my office in La Canada. They made the same announcement in Old Pasadena and Encino. I am quite sure they will close more offices in the coming weeks, though not in this region.

Why? TImes are tough and corporate mentality in America is shockingly short sighted. While I vehemently disagree with the closing of my office, these closings will help to maintain the overall health of the organization. I can only hope, if I stay with Coldwell Banker, that their cuts have been bold enough to preserve services and quality for the offices and agents who remain.

Yes, I said, “If”. My history with Coldwell Banker goes to the previous generation and spans my entire adult life. To say I am company loyal is a bit of an understatement. Company loyal, but not blind. My business plan is to list homes in Glendale and help these sellers to buy in La Canada. Should I stay in La Canada to continue this plan? Is this still a valid business model?

The Coldwell Banker office in Glendale is the obvious choice for me. I love everything about that office, (ok, the parking? not so much, but nothing is perfect!) and the people are awesome. Should I stop my endless thinking and just go there?

If you have any thoughts for me on this subject, please comment. I would love to know what’s on your mind. If you are an office manager/agent trying to pontificate the merits of your office/company, please respect my blog and contact me directly.
