A question for other small independent brokerage owners and managers:<\/p>\n
I have almost completed the online version policy and procedure manual for my smallish, independent brokerage office. It’s been a lot<\/i> of work. Who knew? I ended up using a WordPress platform, since I didn’t have the energy to learn all the ins and outs of designing around the wiki format.<\/p>\n
Here’s the question: Can the online version completely replace a printed version? Do you add a paragraph to your agent’s contracts stating they have read the online manual (yeah, right) and they agree to comply with the policies and procedures?<\/p>\n
Creating a printed version kinda defeats the purpose, though I suppose I could install one of those “Turn-Your-Blog-into-a-Book” plugins.<\/p>\n
Thoughts, suggestions, anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
