Whether you agree with this cost estimate, even if yours is half this amount, it's a lot of money. In the new world of real estate brokerage, this is right next to marketing as a major portion of brokerage operation expenses. A couple of suggestions in this article bear examination, but sharing a "hot desk" could be far inferior to using an intranet to make your agents more mobile and able to serve clients wherever they are.

If carrying around a printer isn't something the agent wants to do, then try PrinterShare.com.
