Just over 18 years ago I set out to create a different kind of brokerage. My mission for Cummings & Co. Realtors was to create a place where I could build long term relationships with my Associates and give them a better opportunity for greater professional and financial success. It’s what I want for myself, and for those who share my commitment for this business.
I focused on building a culture of collaboration and support among the agents and everyone involved in the brokerage. My philosophy of staying positive and keeping things streamlined and simple for everyone within the company has attracted seasoned, full-time professionals who are self-motivated and eager to take their careers to the next level. My position has always been to concentrate on quality not quantity in every aspect of the business.
