2024 Thrive Candidate Presentation

A Look into a New Reality

Thrive Real Estate Group was founded in 2011 on a very simple, yet very powerful concept: we wanted to start a culture first, and a real estate brokerage second.

Our office on South Broadway is uniquely positioned to be convenient and innovative. In the communities we serve, Thrive brings a strong reputation and a unique ability to delight both our advisors and our clients.

Our mentor-style training, robust technology, and wealth of experience allow us to serve our advisors and clients beyond their expectations.

This is all consistently executed with stylish, personalized service that our team has grown to love.

Welcome to Thrive. Welcome home.

Our Approach

Missional

Role Based

Team-erage

No passengers, all crew. No tourists, only citizens.

Amplify your natural skills.

Leverage the collective strengths of others.

High challenge, high support. You directly impact the lives of your fellow Thrivers, as they do yours.

Culture and Identity

Mission (what)

Vision (why)

Core Values (how)

We simplify and clarify home buying and selling.

So that people can move to their better lives.

We do this by advocating selflessly, executing tightly and living lightly.

For our clients this is one of life's biggest and most important decisions. We believe that when the path for our clients is simple and clear, they're empowered to make more informed decisions for them and their families, resulting in a superior experience.

For our Advisors, “better life” means this: in an industry where careers are short and burnout is common, our focus is to provide a clear path to build profitable, sustainable careers faster than the traditional route.

Advocate selflessly: we choose to pursue relationships over chasing transactions, and we give our best for ourselves and for our fellow Thrivers.

For our Team, it means having growth opportunities, career development, financial advancement.

Execute tightly: we relentlessly pursue excellence with a growth mindset.

Live lightly: we take our roles extremely seriously, but do not take ourselves too seriously. We show up genuinely and authentically.

Our Superpowers

GROWTH

LIBERATION

COMPANY LEADS

Some people don’t want to sell real estate for their entire life. Some do. We wholeheartedly support both. Within our growth-focused culture, we are called upon to provide pathways for growth. The opportunities are there for those who seek them. First this looks like leading yourself before you are called on to lead others.

Unlike the typical real estate company where all agents act independently with low accountability, we have chosen to build a culture of high accountability and a team approach. We invite our team members into a high-challenge, high-support environment. We are building the A-Team.

This is the rocket fuel we provide to propel your business further, faster, while becoming a master at your craft. And when we say we give you leads, we mean, we give you leads. It’s not a hypothetical rarity of luck or chance, it’s baked into our operational DNA through our partnerships and leveraged technology.

Our Superpowers

TRAINING

Tx CONCIERGE

REPUTATION

We host in-person onboarding training and regular (weekly) enrichment training. Advisors have access to a dedicated full-time trainer as you ramp up and continue your career here at Thrive. Our Mentorship Program also provides our new-to-real-estate Advisors with a dedicated real-world shadowing program.

Through our in-house Transaction Concierge, we remove as much as possible from your workload so you can focus on that which is most important: your clients and moving to your better life. We do this through our team of badass licensed Transaction Specialists, leveraged technology, and transaction automation.

We are an award winning, highly rated agency, and these accolades are great, but, it’s important to understand what lies beneath these “vanity metrics”, and why you should even care. It’s the DNA we’ve built over many years to provide the opportunities and partnerships we can now pass on to our Advisors.

Our Superpowers

MARKETING

CAREER PATH

TECH STACK

Thrive offers a world-class online marketing hub that hosts a growing library of personally customizable digital and print assets. These include listing presentations, emails, social media templates, farming postcards with in-built zip-code shipping, and more. This is all underpinned by our compelling lifestyle-based brand.

One of our main motivations for growing Thrive is to provide more opportunities for our Advisors and Team to find career paths within our ecosystem.

In fact, Thrive was started because our founder had no other advancement opportunities at his prior brokerages. We’ve rewritten that story and have several examples to point to today.

We are a tech-forward brokerage and leverage a suite of platforms that are first-class, simple, flexible, and effective. This standardizes and streamlines how you engage with prospects both online and offline. We leverage tech to help our Advisors both run their business more effectively, and empower relationships.

Because we hold our culture and the tribe we surround ourselves with as sacred, you’ll find our interview process is a lot different than the usual sales pitch you get from most agencies.

We want you to be the right fit for Thrive, and for Thrive to be the right fit for you.

Our month-long onboarding process is one of the most important steps to starting your career at Thrive, and is your first opportunity to execute tightly. It falls across administrative, classroom and field exercises culminating in a final knowledge check to ensure you are ready to serve your clients at the highest level.

Improve

Our training starts at onboarding and continues throughout your career at Thrive. In your first 30-days, you’ll receive training with your Thrive cohort (peers joining at the same time). In addition, you’ll have access to weekly Enrichment Training that covers everything from business planning to home systems knowledge.

Always Growth mindset and growth opportunity is a constant at Thrive.

You will be challenged to grow in ways that are personal, professional, and spiritual (whatever that means for you).

Sometimes it can be uncomfortable, but it’s the story worth writing.
