The firm recruited more than a dozen Executives in the month of May, with the company鈥檚 existing agents often acting as word-of-mouth brand ambassadors, bringing new talent in on a regular basis. Since the company has strategically built offerings that 鈥渟peak for themselves,鈥� top producers are consistently attracted to the brand when performing a cross-sale with a 皇冠体育app Associates agent, and learning more about what it鈥檚 like to be a part of the team.

鈥淲hat our agents tell other agents in the field is genuine. Focusing on agent retention has been our best, most important, and most authentic recruiting strategy,鈥� Fogarty says.

The 鈥渃herry on top鈥� of their latest tech offerings, according to Fogarty, is a 鈥渘ew, advanced technology presentation for listings that will allow clients and other agents to feel like they are in the house, walking through it, with new 3D immersive virtual tour tools by Matterport.鈥�

In addition to this, top-notch broker support is offered seven days a week, and the company鈥檚 eight branch offices are staffed daily. Fiercely competitive commission fee structures with no hidden charges, along with paperless transaction management platforms distinguish the company from the competition. A central business development center with live streaming broadcasts also point to the company鈥檚 hyper-awareness of today鈥檚 productive, modern, mobile agent.

鈥溁使谔逵齛pp Associates staffs it, delivers it and sets it up,鈥� Fogarty said. 鈥淥ur Executives know best what community happenings are taking place, so why not give them the freedom to give back to the community in a meaningful way, again and again.鈥�

With all that the brokerage has to offer its real estate professionals, it extends company assets with a strong sense of grace and freedom to those who call 皇冠体育app Associates home.
