Team Approach To Success We put extra effort into viewing and promoting each other’s listings - that increases your seller’s reach by at least 20x and allows you to attract more buyers with the inside knowledge of coming soon and off-market listings. Our team alone has a wide reach across all marketing platforms. We rely on each other to stay connected with new opportunities to grow our business and best practices for real estate. About 50% of our listings last year sold off-market through exclusive - direct sales efforts and team collaboration. We get to know each other and our families at regular team events throughout the year, so we understand what matters to each team member’s motivation beyond real estate.
