I have both in my market but rarely do I run up against them;  my Sellers have usually done their homework prior to calling me.

Some of each, but regardless of where they work, it is always individuals that we compete with.

We have both national and local but I find my competition is myself . I have to build rapport with my clients and get them to trust me and show them that I have the skills, experience and knowledge and if I do this then I am confident that they will work with me and give me the listing .

Paul,

 

We have some large local companies that have as much presence if not more than the franchises.

The entire SF Bay Area is flooded with same nation franchise competing against each other.  The no name  brokerage often has just a few agents or a one man show.

We're about 50/50 with brand and independent and our agents get our fair share of the business from both buyers and sellers.  In fact I'd say our average per agent is a little higher than most offices.

The quality shops tend to be smaller local operations and some of the newer new age brokers.  Compass is starting to make a splash here.

Paul - It is all national franchises. There are hardly any local companies. Many of the franchises have hundreds of agents, and most of the local companies are individual brokers who have no employees.
