WHY HOT? KEEPING THE INDEPENDENT BROKER CHANNEL VIBRANT

When Brian Purcell hears people saying the small brokerages are going the way of the Dodo, he couldn’t disagree more.

“With the technology that is out there, there are a lot of opportunities for a small broker to be successful and build great customer service. The customer service just isn’t the same with the big companies,” says Purcell. “When I hear people say the small brokers will be gone, that’s where I have to disagree.”

Purcell and his wife Colleen will be taking over the family brokerage from his father James – and it is a career path he is eager to embrace.
