The Modern Real Estate Office

By Joe Lins
August 21, 2023

Real estate agents have always had the flexibility to work remotely. They spend a big chunk of their day out of the office meeting clients, showing property, meeting with home stagers, home inspectors and well, you get the idea.

Then COVID hit and forced pretty much everyone to work remotely. As we have come out of the pandemic and workers are starting to trickle back into the office, many still remain at home. And they’re good with that. Especially after the investment in a home office they made during the pandemic. Everything from new office furniture to upgrading their home internet has made working from home more attractive. 

Because of this, offices, specifically real estate offices, are adjusting and creating spaces that are conducive to how agents work today. Still, agents need a space where they can pop in, plug in their laptop to do some work, meet clients or attend a training. Gone are the days where everybody had a private office and did most of their work at a desk. The modern real estate agent is mobile, collaborative, and able to conduct business from anywhere. 

We’re excited because we are moving to a new office space that is perfect for this modern agent.

Our new space will have an open concept that will include a large conference room, collaboration spaces, two huddle rooms, several workstations and a few private offices as well as a media room for video and podcast recording.

The on-site amenities will include a stocked fridge with drinks and snacks as well as the ability to print, copy or scan documents as needed. The front reception will have a staff member to greet the agent and their clients. Plus, it’s close to retail amenities with Starbucks, Ralphs grocery store and restaurants within walking distance.

Our new office suite is located in one of the landmark “Fullerton Towers” buildings. The location is a central North Orange County hub with easy access and plenty of parking.

We will continue to hold our shredding and e-waste recycling events for the community at our new location. Internally, we will continue to have our famous potluck parties and celebrations. Check out our social media to see what I mean! We recognize that agents are also social creatures and they crave interaction and collaboration that only happens when they come into the office.

Our goal with this new space is to have a place for our remote workers to call home when they need it and a place that reflects how today’s agents work. If you’d like to be invited to our Ribbon Cutting and Open House to see the space in person, send me an email at info@c21discovery.com.
