Independent Brokers Realty’s Northeast Minneapolis office is a storefront office nestled among restaurants, a clinic, a bakery, and a number of other small merchants. This close-knit business village has a sort of small town feel to it. Jud Lauzon, the office manager, knows this feeling well. Jud is an active member of the Johnson Street Merchants Association, and knows who his neighbors are here. Jud always has a number of his listings plastered on his window, so folks passing by have just one more reason to stop in and talk to Jud. Jud is one of those rare agents that still pulls in business from walk-ins.
Twenty one years ago, Jud began his career with a large national real estate firm. His sales skills were quickly noticed, and Jud was placed on the management track. It was not unusual for Jud to be mentoring about five or six people at a time, and Jud felt like he was in his element.
But something was missing. After a few years, Jud grew weary of the large corporate structure and the never ending stream of decisions made on a corporate level that affected his commissions, his morale, and his ability to make his own decisions. Coincidentally, some of his colleagues at the company began exploring options with Indpendent Brokers Realty and eventually jumped ship. Jud was reluctant to leave what was familiar to him, but he just couldn’t argue with the fee structure that Independent Brokers Realty offered. Once he made the move to Independent Brokers, not only did he keep more of those hard-earned commissions, but he found what was missing at the other company- family spirit and a managment style that allowed him the freedom to make his own decisions.
Jud has been running the NE Minneapolis office for about the last two years, and has put together a team of seven agents. Team members include Robert Macnamara, Laura Kyander, Brad Ross, Chris Michaelson, Michelle Lauzon, and John Lauzon. This core group provides backup and support for the individual members, and a chance for them to pool their resources for cooperative marketing ventures.
If you are looking for a friendly, supportive place to hang your real estate license, talk to Judd. When you run the numbers, the economics will be just one more reason to join the team.
