My Broker asked me to compile a list of office supplies I need. What should I get?
I'm asking other agents, brokers, and office personal....what kind of stuff do I need? I'm thinking letter trays, file folder holders, pens, pencils, sharpener, hiliters, clipboards, what else?
hey real estate guy - NO i haven't worked in an office which is why i'm asking. your answer sucks.

have you ever worked in an office???

Take a walk thru staples and make a list.
I might add:

Dry erase board/calendar & pens
Legal Pads
Post It Notes
Presentation Folders (for client's papers, unless broker has some they give/sell you)
Paper Clips
Calculator
A box of thank you cards
Stamps
Envelopes
Discs &/or CD's
Some sort of organizational aid for keeping your expenses (accordian type file?)

That's the stuff I use most... Hope it helps!
I'm an office administrator in a 2 person office and these are my desk supplies, specifically things I use every week, almost daily. Note: I work in a busy office and have a wide range of duties, so choose what you need!

Pens
message pad
calculator
pencils
highlighters
paperclips/binder clips
letter opener
boxcutter (just a small one for opening boxes)
liquid paper pen
sticky notes
stapler
staples
staple remover
notepads/notebooks
various sized envelopes
envelope sealer
return address stamp/labels
postage
scale (for calculating postage)
UPS/Fedex envelopes
permanent markers (sharpies)
scissors
ruler
'sign here' & various color arrow tags
hole punch
tape
tape dispenser
rubber bands
hanging files w/ file tabs
manila files
copy & confidential & urgent stamps (others if you need)
binders if needed
pen/pencil/envelope desktop organizers/sorters
letter trays
desk drawer organizer
garbage can
shredder
chair mat
long phone cord if you don't have a wireless headset

I use a computer program for my calander and contacts, but if you don't have this option, you'd need a paper calander system and contact/address & phone organizer

It might help you to pick up an office supply store catalog and flip through it one night to get ideas.
