Transform your existing brokerage with virtual operations. The Brokurz operating system enables your agents and brokers to work from anywhere while you maintain your physical office if desired. Reduce office costs, recruit nationally, and scale without additional space—all while keeping your office.
Benefits for existing brick and mortar brokerages
Existing brick and mortar brokerages face challenges: high office costs, geographic limitations on recruiting, limited flexibility for agents, and difficulty scaling without additional space. The operating system enables virtual operations that solve these challenges while allowing you to maintain your physical office.
As agents work virtually, you can reduce office space needs. Downsize to a smaller office, reduce square footage, or eliminate space entirely. Save $10,000-$30,000 monthly in rent, utilities, and maintenance.
Remove geographic restrictions on recruiting. Hire agents anywhere in the country without requiring them to commute to your office. Access a larger talent pool and recruit the best agents regardless of location.
Give agents the flexibility to work from anywhere. Some prefer home offices, others prefer your physical office. The OS supports both, improving agent satisfaction and retention.
Scale your brokerage without proportional increases in office space. Add agents without needing more desks, more square footage, or more offices. Virtual operations enable unlimited scaling.
The operating system provides complete infrastructure
The operating system provides complete cloud-based infrastructure accessible from anywhere. Agents access CRM, transaction management, documents, training, compliance tools, and all brokerage operations through web browsers or mobile apps—no office required.
This infrastructure replaces the need for agents to be physically present in your office. They have everything they need remotely.
You can maintain your physical office for client meetings, team meetings, or any other purposes. Virtual operations don't eliminate your office—they reduce dependence on it. Keep your office, but reduce space needs as agents work virtually.
This hybrid approach gives you flexibility: virtual operations for agents, physical office for meetings when needed.
Enable virtual operations gradually. Start with some agents working virtually while others remain in-office. As you see success, expand virtual operations. The OS supports both simultaneously, giving you flexibility to transition at your own pace.
There's no need to go fully virtual immediately—transition gradually based on what works for your brokerage.
As agents work virtually, reduce office space needs. Downsize to a smaller office, reduce square footage, or eliminate space entirely when your lease expires. The OS provides all infrastructure virtually, so physical space becomes optional.
This reduction in space translates directly to cost savings—$10,000-$30,000 monthly in reduced rent, utilities, and maintenance.
Scale your brokerage without proportional increases in office space. Add agents without needing more desks or square footage. The OS infrastructure scales automatically, supporting unlimited growth without physical space requirements.
Virtual operations enable scaling that physical offices can't match—unlimited growth without space constraints.
Best of both worlds: virtual operations + physical office
The hybrid model combines the best of both worlds: maintain your physical office for client meetings, team gatherings, and professional presence, while enabling virtual operations for agents and brokers.
Agents can work from anywhere with complete access to all tools, while you keep your office for when it's needed. This flexibility reduces costs while maintaining professional operations.
Reduce office costs while maintaining operations

| Maintenance | $500-$2,000/month | $0-$500/month |
| Office Furnishings | $20,000-$40,000 upfront | $0-$10,000 |
| Total Monthly Savings | $6,500-$20,000 | $0-$6,000 |
Enabling virtual operations can save $6,500-$20,000 monthly in office costs. You maintain your office if desired, but reduce space needs and costs significantly. Over a year, this represents $78,000-$240,000 in savings.
The operating system provides all infrastructure virtually, so physical office space becomes optional rather than required—enabling massive cost savings.
How to enable virtual operations for your existing brokerage
Start by evaluating your current brokerage operations. Identify which functions require physical presence and which can be done virtually. Review your office space usage, agent work patterns, and client interaction preferences. This assessment helps you understand what can transition to virtual operations and what should remain in-office.
Consider: How many agents currently work primarily in-office vs. remotely? What tasks require physical presence? What client interactions need face-to-face meetings? This assessment guides your virtual operations strategy.
Sign up for the Brokurz operating system and configure it for your brokerage. The OS provides all infrastructure needed for virtual operations: CRM, transaction management, document storage, training, compliance, communication—everything accessible from anywhere. Setup takes minutes, not months.
The operating system integrates with your existing operations seamlessly. You don't need to replace everything—the OS enhances what you have while enabling virtual capabilities. Configure branding, workflows, and business rules to match your brokerage's needs.
Train agents and brokers on using the operating system for virtual operations. The OS is intuitive, but proper training ensures everyone understands how to access tools, manage workflows, and maintain productivity while working remotely. Provide training sessions, documentation, and ongoing support.
Focus on: How to access all tools remotely, virtual workflow management, communication protocols, compliance procedures, and best practices for virtual productivity. Well-trained teams transition smoothly to virtual operations.
Start with a pilot program. Enable virtual operations for a small group of agents first—perhaps those who already work remotely part-time or those who express interest. Monitor results, gather feedback, and refine your approach before expanding to all agents.
Gradual implementation reduces risk and allows you to learn what works best for your brokerage. As you see success, expand virtual operations to more agents. The operating system supports both virtual and in-office agents simultaneously, giving you flexibility.
As agents work virtually, optimize your office space. You might downsize to a smaller office focused on meetings rather than daily workspace, reduce square footage, or eliminate office space entirely when your lease expires. The operating system provides all infrastructure virtually, so physical space becomes optional.
Consider: Maintaining a smaller office for client meetings and team gatherings, transitioning to co-working spaces for occasional use, or going fully virtual. The OS enables any approach—choose what works best for your brokerage.
With virtual operations enabled, start recruiting agents nationally. You're no longer limited to agents within commuting distance of your office. The operating system provides infrastructure that makes remote work possible, expanding your talent pool significantly.
Recruit the best agents regardless of location. Virtual operations remove geographic restrictions, enabling you to build a stronger team with top talent from across the country. The OS handles all infrastructure, so onboarding remote agents is seamless.
How existing brokerages are using virtual operations
Challenge: A brokerage with 50 agents was spending $15,000 monthly on a 5,000 sq ft office, but only 20 agents used it regularly. The remaining 30 agents worked primarily from home or in the field.
Solution: The brokerage implemented the operating system and enabled virtual operations. All 50 agents now have complete access to tools remotely. The brokerage downsized to a 1,500 sq ft office for meetings, reducing monthly costs to $4,500.
Result: Monthly savings of $10,500 ($126,000 annually) while maintaining professional operations. Agents have better access to tools through the OS, and the brokerage maintains its office for client meetings.
Challenge: A brokerage wanted to recruit top agents but was limited to those within 30 miles of their office. The local talent pool was competitive, and top agents were being recruited by larger brokerages.
Solution: The brokerage enabled virtual operations with the operating system. Agents could work from anywhere with complete infrastructure access. The brokerage started recruiting nationally, targeting top performers in markets across the country.
Result: Recruited 15 top agents from 8 different states within 6 months. These agents brought significant transaction volume and expertise. The brokerage's revenue increased 40% while maintaining the same office space.
Challenge: A growing brokerage needed to add 30 more agents but didn't have office space. Leasing additional space would cost $12,000 monthly, and the brokerage wasn't sure if the growth would be sustained.
Solution: Instead of leasing more space, the brokerage enabled virtual operations. New agents work remotely with complete OS infrastructure access. The brokerage maintained its existing office for meetings and team gatherings.
Result: Added 30 agents without any additional office costs. The brokerage scaled from 20 to 50 agents without proportional increases in space or costs. Revenue tripled while office costs remained constant.
Challenge: A brokerage was losing agents to competitors offering more flexibility. Agents wanted to work remotely but the brokerage required daily office attendance. Agent turnover was high, costing the brokerage in recruitment and training.
Solution: The brokerage enabled virtual operations, giving agents flexibility to work from anywhere. Agents could choose to work remotely, use the office, or combine both. The operating system provided all infrastructure regardless of location.
Result: Agent retention improved 60%. Agents appreciated the flexibility, and the brokerage maintained productivity. The brokerage kept its best agents while attracting new ones with the flexibility offering.
