YOUR IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS answered Colorado Landmark has teamed up with Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate in a partnership of leadership. Joel & Orly, along with Rod, Mark & Harry are proud to be bringing together the legacies of these two independent Colorado real estate brokerages. Below are answers to your immediate questions and what to expect over the next two weeks. What is our new name? There will be co-branding during the transition, and we will be called the Colorado Landmark Team at Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate. We will remain in our 3 Boulder Valley offices, and additionally, have 2 offices in Denver for a total of 5 offices in the Front Range. Will I need to transfer my real estate license with DORA? Yes, your support team will help guide you through the necessary steps. DORA does not charge a transfer fee. We ask that this is completed by August 11th , and this step must be completed before any other membership transfers can take place. Will I need to transfer my local board membership? Yes, your support team will help guide you through the necessary steps. The transfer fee will be paid by the brokerage. Will I need to transfer my membership(s) with RE Colorado & IRES? Yes, your support team will help guide you through the necessary steps. The transfer fee will be paid by the brokerage. Will I need to sign a new Independent Broker Agreement and Policy Manual? You will be sent a new (abridged) Broker Agreement with Slifer Smith and Frampton Real Estate through Docusign formalizing the transfer. Your commission plan will remain the same, and you will operate under the Colorado Landmark Realtors office policy manual for the remainder of the year. What do I need to do with my CTM account? After transferring your license to Slifer Smith & Frampton with DORA, your local support team will help you transfer your CTMe account to Slifer Smith & Frampton. Your contracts and history in CTMe will move with you. Can I continue to use Docusign? CTM is preferred however, those who prefer Docusign can continue to use it and will need to email each document individually to the closing team. SLIFER SMITH & FRAMPTON
What will happen to my email? For the foreseeable future, use your email as is. In the slower season beginning in November, emails will begin to migrate to the SSF domain. Rest assured, your existing email and new email can run in parallel until you are confident that all your contacts know how to reach you with your new email address. Do I need to update my e-mail signature with new logos? If so, how? A new email signature for Colorado Landmark Team at Slifer Smith and Frampton Real Estate featuring the SSF & Forbes Global Properties logos will be made available. Your local support team will guide you through the steps of updating your email signature. This will be a great way to get the word out to your contacts about the partnership. What do I do with existing business cards? Do I need to order new ones? You can use your existing business cards for the time being. Over the course of the next five months, your local support team will help you with the transition of ordering new business cards. If you want to get new business cards immediately, that is of course ok. What do I do with existing For Sale Signs? Do I need to order new ones? You can use your existing business signs for the time being. Over the course of the next five months, your local support team will help you with the transition of ordering new For Sale signs. What types of marketing and tools should I expect? Please continue to use your current marketing tools, and over time your support team will work closely together to formulate the very best marketing strategy & tools specific to the Front Range. What will the closing process be like? You will have access to a transaction coordinator and closing specialist to assist with contract processing. Brokers will be paid at the closing table on their existing commission plan provided all documentation is received in a timely manner. Closings during the week of 8/1 will close using existing Colorado Landmark procedures. A complete FAQ to the closing process will be provided by your support team. What about my active listings and pending contracts? Active listings will be assigned to the new brokerage. You will be provided with an assignment of listing agreement for your seller to sign. Your closing team will answer any questions about pending contracts. Almost Everything You Need To Know | 6
