Back After 6 Years... Much Has Changed!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Lake Homes Realty & Beach Homes Realty

I wandered back over to ActiveRain after seeing links to AR from an agent we were speaking with about joining our brokerage. 

Wow... I had not made a post since August of 2018. 

My profile was out of date but it showed me how much had happened since my last post.

Since 2018, we've expanded our wholly-owned brokerage operations for Lake Homes Realty by another thirteen states (now at thirty-six).

We opened Beach Homes Realty (beach-homes.com) in fifteen states.

We survived Covid-19, the inventory shortage, and working through the chaos of the NAR lawsuit settlements.

We moved our headquarters in metro-Birmingham ... twice. Each time needing more office space for our back office teams.

We were honored to be listed five more times on the Inc. 5000 list for the countries fastest growing companies (for a total of seven consecutive years).

We've built more interesting tech to support our buyers, sellers, and agents. 

It won't be that long before I post again, but love this time capsule, and grateful for the opportunities we've had along the way!

Hrello Glenn - welcome back.  I have often said, we are fortunate that there is no mandatory attendance or participation for ActiveRain membership.  It appears you have been quite busy in business.  May you have many happy return visits.

Kat, I was visiting with real estate agents.

We are preparing to expand our presence across Montana.

We are highly virtual, but high agent support, and on average our agents will double their transaction volume after a couple of years (some more). We don't take just any agents. We are focused on producers who want/need to move to another level.  Fewer agents, more mutual production. 

So, I was meeting / interviewing agents my development team had identified. The people part is important, so I still travel to markets and meet agents. 

 

That trip was for Montana and Washington (where we are preparing to not only grow our lake market presence but also add our beach presence). 

I enjoyed a great dinner at Mercantile Steak, which was recommended by a local agent.
