Anyone else have shortages of employees at their brokerage &amp; an overworked marketing team?
At the brokerage I work at it seems like our marketing requests are often late and the marketing team overwhelmed with work from listings &amp; marketing packages. Im curious if for anyone other brokers are having this issue at their company

Whether it is the bank, the insurance agency/underwriter, the title company, construction trades, etc. Everyone is short staffed and slammed.  \n\nPersonally I've switched to a 4-10 workweek to retain property management and construction employees. Just wasn't finding people on a regular schedule, and I'll hire just about anyone to swing a sledgehammer.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "htp29wn", "text": "Oh yeah.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "htpefw8", "text": "Marketing was always overworked.
