Firms poach top producers

Keller Williams' Eric Pruitt, formerly of RE/MAX

From the South Florida Web site: In an age of free agency, South Florida real estate brokers are changing allegiances as firms look for agents who get results. 

Recent moves add to a list that figures to get longer: Eric Pruitt and Isabel Stephenson recently left RE/MAX to join forces with Keller Williams. Esslinger Wooten Maxwell Realtors hired Jo-Ann Forester and her eight-member team away from Coldwell Banker.

Real estate executives and head hunters never stop recruiting top producers, but more agents are considering making the move in a down market, according to Matt Johnston, CEO of Workway, a real estate staffing firm with offices in Tampa, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.

Let's be honest. "The successful agent" is what makes a "company" successful, not the other way around (like so many companies in South Florida still believe!!!
