They are saying that the new economy is the semi-attached freelance economy.  If that is the case, brokers have a leg up over everyone else when it comes to knowing how things work.  Brokers are all essentially freelancers. 

There has been a lot of coverage devoted to the seemingly new trend of having no secure and reliable jobs available.  But this is interesting to me first because I am in real estate and there is nothing secure or reliable about my job (except what I make of it), but also because it seems like everybody always wants more freedom at work.  Freedom is available with tradeoffs.

I’ll be interested to see how this economy continues to evolve and whether we continue to progress as a freelance economy.  If so, it does seem like brokers that have been living this way for years will have something valuable to teach the rest of the world.
