10/15/03: How does an annual 5% broker attrition rate grab you? In this week's UpClose, that's what CB Richard Ellis' Bob Alexander says is "normal" in the real estate services industry. Considering what an impact the CBRE/Insignia consolidation has had in the marketplace, you would expect more. What does this say? Probably several things. First, the assimilation of the two cultures seems to be taking hold. The second issue is that, in this current economic environment, there is safety in staying put. There are many positive signs pointing to a full rebound; they just haven't taken root yet. And yes, before the economy truly improves, there will certainly be more movement and, most likely, a new wave of company-creation. Once all of that is over, it will signal the start of real growth and real business to get excited about. Stay tuned.
