North Carolina’s Vantage Realty Pros partner with PLACE for growth opportunities

“Since partnering with PLACE, the value proposition for agents on my team has expanded tremendously.”

New PLACE Partner Steve Mueller will gain access to business-building growth models for himself and his agents.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top real estate teams at any brokerage, announced today that Steve Mueller and Vantage Realty Pros are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Top producer Steve Mueller is the owner and team leader of Vantage Realty Pros, serving the Charlotte Metro. Mueller has helped more than 1,000 families buy and sell real estate over the past 16 years. In 2022, he closed more than $30 million in sales volume through 83 transactions.

Prior to becoming a Realtor®in 2007, Mueller was an inside sales representative for a building supply distributor. The experience enhanced his natural interpersonal talents as he learned to quickly establish meaningful connections with customers. The skills translated well when he launched his real estate career. “I laugh when I credit ‘great timing’ for the start of my real estate career since the market crash immediately followed,” he said. “But, in many ways, it really was great for my business because it required me to prospect and follow up properly. It taught me how to take care of my people and my sphere.”

Mueller aims to run Charlotte’s no. 1 real estate team, driven by a focus on building and nurturing client relationships. To pursue this goal, he recently joined eXp Realty and sees partnering with PLACE as the next step toward realizing his vision. “I am hyper-focused on building my business and helping my team build theirs,” said Mueller. “With eXp Realty, many of my agents are focused on revenue share and attracting new talent.” Mueller and his team share common business growth goals, which align perfectly with the business-building models and training offered by PLACE. Mueller is confident that his partnership with PLACE will empower his entire team to achieve greater success in reaching both their individual and collective objectives.

“It is hard to have the time and ability to onboard and train new agents, all while staying in production myself,” he explained. “Every time you say ‘yes’ to one thing you say ‘no’ to something else .” Through the onboarding systems of PLACE, Mueller knows that agents will have a systemized path to success and is also excited for his team to have access to the more nuanced parts of PLACE including technology, healthcare, profit sharing, and even marketing materials. “Since partnering with PLACE, the value proposition for agents on my team has expanded tremendously,” said Mueller. “Agents on our team now have a limitless runway for growth so we can share more win-wins all around.”

“Agents on our team now have a limitless runway for growth so we can share more win-wins all around.”

“Steve’s contagious energy and vision in pursuing his personal and team goals are inspiring,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “With the onboarding and tracking systems of PLACE, Steve will be equipped to grow his team, provide exceptional service to a wider client base, and ultimately make a larger impact on Charlotte communities.”

“Steve’s ambition is driven by more than a desire for success,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “He wants to empower his market, communities, and team. With such clear purposes, Steve will use his partnership resources to grow his business and impact.”

Kim will leverage PLACE onboarding to train his agents immediately.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top real estate teams at any brokerage, announced today that James T. Kim and jamesyDC are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

James T. Kim is the owner and team leader of jamesyDC, serving Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. In 2022, Kim closed nearly $30 million in sales volume through 34 people buy and sell real estate.

Kim has received numerous honors and awards over his real estate career, being named a top producer by McEnearney Associates, Washingtonian magazine, DC magazine, Arlington Magazine, and DC Metro Real Producers magazine. Kim speaks French, Korean, Mandarin, and Russian.

“PLACE speaks to every business pain point I’ve experienced.”

After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2010, Kim entered the commercial real estate industry in France. “I was in Paris, working as a financial analyst for a corporate real estate brokerage for a couple of years.” While he found the experience exciting, Kim returned to D.C. with plans to work in residential real estate.

In 2016, Kim earned his license, intending to be a Realtor® part time but committed full-time that year. Kim built his business primarily by working his sphere and hosting open houses. He invested in coaching in 2020 and began building a team. During the pandemic, Kim felt team-building consuming all his time. With the desire for a work-life balance as a team leader, Kim turned to PLACE.

“I feel at peace when PLACE Co-Founder Chris Suarez speaks to me,” Kim said. “PLACE speaks to every business pain point I’ve experienced.” Kim is excited about PLACE Tech and the power of having multi-faceted tools and systems in one platform. “I want the best technology, systems, and processes so that we can provide the best service for our clients,” Kim said.

He looks forward to accessing a network of PLACE Partners and plugging his team into the limitless education and training opportunities. “I love conferences and workshops,” said Kim. “I am excited for my agents to go through PLACE Agent Launch and believe that with PLACE being what it is, it will help me attract more talent.”

Stefanie Hanson partners with PLACE to enhance her real estate team’s culture and resources

“With PLACE, our agents will benefit from a white-glove support system that empowers them to focus on what truly matters: their clients, families, and communities.”

Hanson is confident that the administrative leverage of PLACE will allow her agents more time to prioritize clients.

KALISPELL, Mont., June 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Stefanie Hanson and Beckman’s Real Estate Team are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Stefanie Hanson is the owner and operator of Beckman’s Real Estate Team, serving communities in Flathead County, including, but not limited to, Kalispell, Whitefish, Bigfork, Columbia Falls, Lakeside, Somers, and the surrounding Glacier National Park area. Since 2016, Beckman’s Real Estate Team has helped 600+ families buy and sell real estate, and in 2022, the team closed $55+ million in sales volume through 93 transactions.

Hanson was a dental hygienist before joining her mother to run the family business, Beckman’s Fine Furnishings, a high-end furniture store that also provided exceptional home staging services for local real estate agents and their customers. “After a couple of years, I started thinking, ‘What if we just offered the whole package to people by listing and staging their homes to sell?’ The idea of offering that complete service to our clients is what led me to earn my real estate license.”

Her real estate business soared as she embraced digital marketing to showcase her eye-catching staging and attract leads. When her mother was ready to retire from running the furniture store in 2019, Hanson was faced with a difficult decision. With her real estate business flourishing, she chose to close Beckman’s Fine Furnishings and go all in on real estate, preserving her mother’s maiden name, Beckman, in her real estate business name.

Hanson started building a team in 2017 and focused more on nurturing a close-knit team culture that is service-oriented and intent on growing its expertise to the highest level. Her aspiration to continue fostering a supportive team environment led her to PLACE.

“Working with sellers and buyers brings me immense joy; however, my true passion lies in supporting our agents, witnessing their growth, and celebrating their success,” expressed Hanson. “The sky’s the limit for our agents, and I am committed to offering a white glove service, providing them with a dedicated marketing team, administrative support team, and all the necessary resources they need to build a thriving business for themselves and their families.”

Hanson says ensuring agents and their families are protected as they pursue their self-employed path is equally as important to her. With PLACE, she’s able to prioritize agents’ well-being by offering comprehensive health insurance options, life insurance options, retirement stock options, personalized coaching, and encouraging a focus on their overall health and wealth. Her goal is to enable her team to thrive both personally and professionally.

Director of Operations Michaela Arneson values her team’s culture and appreciates Hanson’s commitment to further strengthen the team through the new partnership. “Stefanie’s unwavering belief in everyone’s success is remarkable, yet she understands the limitations of time and resources. That’s where PLACE steps in, offering invaluable support to agents in their journey of building thriving businesses,” said Arneson. “With the addition of PLACE by their side, agents can take those significant leaps forward, unlocking new opportunities and achieving their goals. Stefanie’s vision coupled with the assistance of PLACE is an empowering combination, ensuring that every agent’s potential is unleashed and their dreams become reality.“

“Stefanie’s unwavering belief in everyone’s success is remarkable, yet she understands the limitations of time and resources. That’s where PLACE steps in, offering invaluable support to agents in their journey of building thriving businesses.”

Hanson is excited to plug her team into PLACE models and culture. “Partnering with PLACE adds an extraordinary dimension to Beckman’s Real Estate. We gain access to an extensive network of top teams from brokerages across the nation, expanding our reach and allowing us to market our clients’ properties on a national scale.”

“Stefanie’s exceptional business experiences and creativity have paved the way for her success in real estate,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. I’m happy that our partnership will assist her in achieving her goals as a team leader who wants to provide the best resources for her agents.”

“I admire Stefanie’s commitment to developing a business that inspires her team members,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “With her new tools and systems, Stefanie will have the necessary structure to bring her vision to life and propel her business to new heights.”

“With PLACE, our agents will benefit from a white-glove support system that empowers them to focus on what truly matters: their clients, families, and communities,” added Hanson. “Beckman’s Real Estate is dedicated to serving not only our clients’ families but also our agents’ families and our communities. Together, we create a legacy of exceptional service and transformative impact.”

Mary and Brian Murphy gain training support via PLACE

“PLACE is the perfect fit for the entire team to grow their businesses.”

New Jersey real estate team, Murphy Group, will leverage PLACE growth models for career opportunities.

MARLTON, N.J., June 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Mary and Brian Murphy and Murphy Group of Real Brokerage are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Mary and Brian Murphy own and operate Murphy Group, serving South Jersey. The Murphys have helped over 640 families buy and sell real estate, and in 2022, they closed $50 million in sales volume through 150 transactions.

Team Leader Mary became a Realtor® in 2015 to supplement her income as a teacher. “I was never really a part-time agent,” Mary said. “As soon as I started real estate school, I loved it, and I loved being around big thinkers.” She immediately joined a team, and 11 months later, she was named Rookie of the Year, selling 37 houses in her first year.

Mary held several team roles before launching Murphy Group in 2018. Her husband, Brian, joined the team as director of operations the following year. Together, they learned how to run a team and business through accountability, systems, and a commitment to supporting clients and team members.

Murphy Group’s success has inspired growth, leading them to PLACE. “We want to grow with a bigger vision for ourselves and our team and believe we’ll do that faster with PLACE infrastructure and the opportunity to be in rooms with top agents and minds,” said Mary.

The Murphys look forward to providing more professional growth and leadership opportunities through the partnership. “With the PLACE Opportunity Model, our agents will develop their careers, and the model will attract new talent,” said Brian. “PLACE is the perfect fit for the entire team to grow their businesses.”

The Murphys are also excited about PLACE’s culture of accountability and the 12-week program designed for new agents to enter production quickly. “We are excited about the structure of PLACE Launch,” said Mary. “It sets the expectation for new agents to show up and commit to productive activities every day; otherwise, they likely won’t be joining the team.”

With new leverage, Mary and Brian have more space to consider expansion plans and reimagine their futures as leaders, wealth builders, and business builders.

“We want to grow with a bigger vision for ourselves and our team and believe we’ll do that faster with PLACE infrastructure and the opportunity to be in rooms with top agents and minds.”

“I love that Mary and Brian are eager to grow, learn, and change continuously,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “With PLACE, they’ll have the systems and flexibility to expand their business, their team members’ businesses, and their lives.”

“Mary and Brian have built a successful business by being committed to their team’s success,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “They are prepared to embrace new opportunities for growth, and I am thrilled to witness their development in fresh and innovative ways.”

James Adams partners with PLACE to fulfill his business vision

“I envisioned systems that could help my team members build teams within my team, and through that alignment, we could honor our collective goals and ambitions.”

The Adams Group Experience will adopt PLACE’s agent value proposition and provide clients with more opportunities.

BROOKSVILLE, Fla., June 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that James Adams and The Adams Group Experience brokered by eXp Realty are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

James Adams is the team leader of The Adams Group Experience, serving Central Florida and hundreds of clients since 2019. As a young adult, Adams was a professional pool player, once being named Florida’s Player of The Year and an Amateur Pool Players Association 9-Ball World Champion. He built three successful businesses and traveled the country with his wife while managing horse shows.

When his father-in-law suffered a stroke, he asked that Adams look after the family. Adams and his wife moved nearby to support her father’s health and start a family. Adams earned his real estate license within a few weeks and has since been on a mission to look after his family and help others do the same for their loved ones through the wealth-building power of real estate.

Within his first year, Adams’ business was overflowing, so he built a team and dug into system creation. “I was successful as a solo agent but needed to start a team to bring more stability to my life and be more present with my family,” Adams said. “I envisioned systems that could help my team members build teams within my team, and through that alignment, we could honor our collective goals and ambitions. PLACE has the infrastructure built out for that, so I can lead and honor my team as I’ve pictured.”

Networking with PLACE Partners helped Adams realize the significance of the partnership. “The reality of a plug-and-play system that allows you to build a team within a team sold me,” said Adams. “PLACE systems and tools will help us reap the most opportunities for clients. It will be a strong piece of our value proposition for agents and clients.”

“PLACE has the infrastructure built out for that, so I can lead and honor my team as I’ve pictured.”

“James has the energy, vision, and learner’s mindset that drives his success in all his endeavors,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “The systems and tools of PLACE will help him to fulfill his expansion goals and empower other agents.”

“James’ family values are exhibited and channeled into his passion for helping others find stability through real estate,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “PLACE will provide him with the necessary accountability tools and leverage to build the business and life he envisions.”

Daryl Owen partners with PLACE to reach exponential growth

“The combination of resources that comes with a partnership is incredible — the collaboration, network access, systems, tools, tech, and thought leadership — and will increase my team’s productivity exponentially.”

As the Founder and CEO of independent brokerage Nationwide Real Estate Executives, Owen plans to expand his own team with the systems and support of PLACE.

LONG BEACH, Calif., May 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Daryl Owen and Nickle Team of Nationwide Real Estate Executives are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Daryl Owen is the owner and operator of Nickle Team and the founder of seven different real estate businesses, including Nationwide Real Estate Executives (NRE), one of the largest independently owned U.S. brokerages. In addition, Owen owns an investment and property management company, a commercial real estate firm, an escrow company, a technology company, and a school that provides real estate licensing and education to over 10,000 students.

When Owen was 14 years old, he was already dreaming of a future in real estate. At 19 years old, he purchased his first investment property while attending college and managing a Papa John’s storefront. In 2006, Owen earned his real estate license and committed to a new long-term goal to own a massive brokerage one day. As a successful solo agent, Owen closed nine transactions monthly and quickly became one of his brokerage’s top agents nationwide.

In 2011, Owen began building his dream by launching NRE to create opportunities for agents, but as they onboarded, he noticed a success gap. “I was hiring, supporting, training, and coaching them, but the failure rate was somehow high,” Owen said. To identify areas of improvement, he launched Nickle Team within his brokerage and investigated its processes. “I was searching for opportunities to develop our systems and guarantee more consistent agent success.” The team produced $100 million in sales volume within the first 18 months of launching.

Today, Owen’s dedication to his team’s success is unparalleled. He helps his new agents succeed in their first buyer consultations and listing appointments by personally attending the meetings. “I feel most fulfilled as a supporting role in the others’ journey to build a life in real estate that they couldn’t otherwise build.”

Although Owen loves creating systems, he knows building more and continuously updating them sacrifices time that could be spent executing growth plans. As he looks to the future, he understands his need for more systems to promote scale. Owen credits each big breakthrough he’s had in business to “completely surrendering to someone else’s process,” which is how a PLACE partnership came into the picture.

By partnering with PLACE, Owen and his team will have the advantage of proven tools and models to help them reach their goals. “I don’t have the systems ready to help us reach our goal of $1 billion in annual sales volume, but PLACE does.” Owen also feels PLACE will help streamline processes so that he can increase his agent count and impact more lives positively.

“I don’t have the systems ready to help us reach our goal of $1 billion in annual sales volume, but PLACE does.”

Owen is excited to plug his new agents into PLACE Launch, a 12-week program that onboards and trains agents so they can hit the ground running with tech, tools, and systems. Owen believes the program will trim his agents’ learning curve, all while giving him time back for his clients and six other businesses. “My people will grow and be more successful because of PLACE,” Owen said. “The combination of resources that comes with a partnership is incredible — the collaboration, network access, systems, tools, tech, and thought leadership — and will increase my team’s productivity and our agents’ lives exponentially.”

He’s also excited to be associated with PLACE, a company like no other. “I love the PLACE vision,” Owen said. “PLACE is disrupting the industry in a positive way that I haven’t seen before – empowering teams and agents to develop stronger consumer relationships. It’s what makes PLACE as a company so special and why I want to be involved early on in its growth.”

“Daryl is an exceptional, humble businessman,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “He and I share a drive to change people’s lives on a huge scale and I’m so thankful to share a mission and path to growth with Daryl.”

“Daryl is passionate about helping everyone in the industry at all levels,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “He has taken an innovative approach to mentoring and growing his people. We are excited to partner with Daryl and change the industry with agent and consumer empowerment together.”

Maryland’s Tom Atwood partners with PLACE to reignite his team

“Time is our most precious commodity, and PLACE has built a support system that would otherwise take us a decade to build.”

Atwood will save “10 years” and protect his team’s time with PLACE systems and processes.

BALTIMORE, Md., May 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Tom Atwood and The Atwood Team are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Tom Atwood is the owner and operator of The Atwood Team based in Baltimore. The Atwood Team recently ranked in RealTrends’ America’s Best Teams list with 217 units and $66 million sold over the past two years.

For 15 years, Atwood traveled the country working in automotive sales and retail. When Atwood burned out in the automotive industry in 2006, he became a Realtor® and joined a friend’s established team. “When the time was right, the opportunity was there,” Atwood said.

Atwood sold 40 houses in his first year alone and worked through the Great Recession before joining a new brokerage in 2012. For the next decade, Atwood focused on learning and expansion. New, bigger challenges arose, and Atwood needed more support, so he paused his growth goals in 2022. Atwood and his team felt whiplashed by the new market and worked tirelessly to adapt.

While at a conference, Atwood and his team’s Director of Operations Deanna Henry discovered PLACE. The duo immediately agreed partnership was their team’s best option. “My team’s engine light is on and ready to go; we know our potential and know we can rev back up again,” said Atwood. “PLACE will reignite our confidence and recenter our direction. Time is our most precious commodity, and PLACE has built a support system that would otherwise take us a decade to build.”

Atwood feels aligned with PLACE’s thought leadership and culture. “I look at sales with scientific, psychological, and technical perspectives with some artistry thrown in,” said Atwood. “I admire what PLACE thinks about business, agents, and clients. I’m excited for us to get as skilled in talent conversations as we are in listing conversations.”

“Tom is a high-energy, skilled salesman who is generous with his knowledge,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “I’m happy to partner with him as he grows his business and helps his agents build big careers.”

“Tom is passionate about serving his community, clients, and team,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “This partnership will allow him to embed new processes and systems, recruit agents, and have time to focus on his favorite parts of his business.”

“PLACE will reignite our confidence and recenter our direction.”

Third-generation agent Alex Haigh partners with PLACE for “umbrella” of resources

“My PLACE partnership will be a resource umbrella for my team that will help us improve inefficiencies and maximize our ability to serve our community at a high level.”

Haigh expects his team’s adoption of PLACE systems and processes to be an “effortless transition.”

STUART, Fla., May 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Alex Haigh and The Alex Haigh Group at eXp Realty are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Alex Haigh is the owner and CEO of The Alex Haigh Group at eXp Realty, serving the Treasure Coast region of Florida. Alex’s top-performing team has sold more than $500 million in sales volume, helping over 2,000 people buy and sell real estate. Since 2018, Haigh has received five ICON Agent Awards from his brokerage, eXp Realty, which recognizes agents who eclipse production thresholds and represent the brokerage’s core values in a 12-month time period.

During his 20s, Alex served as first mate on mega yachts in the Mediterranean, eventually leading him to serve on private yachts in Florida where he witnessed abundance, freedom, and a lifestyle he’d never seen growing up in rural New Hampshire. Alex connected with many successful entrepreneurs and financiers who taught him that independence, hard work, creativity, and collaboration are the keys to success and creating a life by design.

Having obtained his real estate license, Alex became a third-generation real estate agent and began his career selling land lots. In 2006, Alex immersed himself full-time into residential real estate sales. He powered through the Great Recession, motivated by his and other agents’ commitment to the industry. “I told myself I wasn’t going back to working on boats,” said Alex. “I knew I wanted a real estate career, and when I saw someone else had built a successful team, I aspired for the same.”

In 2010, Alex began building his team and now leads 22 real estate professionals at The Alex Haigh Group. His desire for more leverage and efficiency is what led Alex to PLACE. “My PLACE partnership will be a resource umbrella for my team that will help us improve inefficiencies and maximize our ability to serve our community at a high level,” said Haigh. “With PLACE, we can wear fewer hats, so we can take a breath, stay in the zone, and focus on our talents.”

Alex expects the adoption of PLACE systems and processes to be an “effortless transition” and believes PLACE will support him through any future challenges. “PLACE will help me uncover unknowns in a better way than I could alone.” Alex said. “I am excited to continue the growth of The Alex Haigh Group, and am fully confident that my partnership with PLACE allows me to offer an elevated experience when onboarding, training, and supporting each business partner who chooses to align with our team.”

The Alex Haigh Group is excited to merge the systems they have taken great pride in building with those of PLACE. Alex says PLACE’s unique positioning will bring everything together under one cohesive umbrella, and further cement The Alex Haigh Group’s role as a leader in the community. Alex also looks forward to leveraging PLACE to further pursue his philanthropic passions; serving on the board of directors at ARC of Martin County, sponsoring charitable events in support of vital programs with the Boys & Girls Clubs of both Saint Lucie and Martin counties, as well as Habitat for Humanity.

“With PLACE, we can wear fewer hats, so we can take a breath, stay in the zone, and focus on our talents.”

“Alex is an insightful, humble businessman who wants the best for his agents,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “He’s ready for the next level, and I’m thrilled he’s partnering with PLACE to get his business there.”

“Alex and his team are passionate about their goals and ready to do the work to grow,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “I welcome them to PLACE and look forward to seeing them leverage their skills for continued growth.”

South Carolina’s The King Group partners with PLACE for “layers of accountability”

“I’m excited to tap into PLACE for next-level support from experts in different fields.”

Team Leader Will King acquires coaching resources and access to a network of top producers.

COLUMBIA, S.C., May 2023 —PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Will King and The King Group are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Will King owns and operates The King Group, an elite real estate business in Columbia, serving the Midlands region of South Carolina. Since 2018, The King Group has closed more than $55 million in sales volume, helping 225 families buy and sell real estate.

Will was a radio broadcaster for 12 years and then managed an insurance agency in the automotive space for five years before becoming a Realtor® in 2018. “Everything I had done before prepared me for my career in real estate,” Will explained. “The radio industry taught me to communicate effectively, and I learned to lead a sales team in the automotive industry.”

Will’s wife, Sarah, was a nurse practitioner before joining forces with Will in 2019. The pair led their team to approach client relationships as consultants who support and advise others towards real estate goals. “Everyone has a reason to buy, sell, and build wealth, and we want to help them achieve those goals,” said Will. “There is generally a very personal element in clients’ reasons to buy or sell, so we guide them with utmost care. That’s why we believe real estate is about people, not properties.”

Will is partnering with PLACE to grow his business through built-in accountability systems within a people-centered culture. “I’ve learned coaching adds additional layers of accountability,” Will said. “PLACE is committed to helping us build our business. I’m excited to tap into PLACE for next-level support from experts in different fields. This partnership will provide our partner agents with more opportunities with PLACE’s model.”

Will believes his team will better focus on skill development and relationship building by leveraging PLACE services and systems. “This partnership will allow every team member to focus on what they do best – helping clients achieve their real estate goals,” Will said. “The entire team will have access to a network of top agents they can build relationships with, both professionally and personally.”

“Will and Sarah have built a tremendous business through the power of relationships,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “They value growth and recognize the opportunities they have to grow with PLACE. I’m glad to partner with and provide the systems and support for them to expand their business.”

“Will and Sarah have built a team committed to the client’s goals and best interests,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “PLACE will help Will and Sarah create and seize opportunities for themselves, their team, and their clients.”

“This partnership will provide our partner agents with more opportunities with PLACE’s model.”

While working in public safety for 18 years, Oliver profitably flipped several investment properties. He later retired from public service and initially intended to close a few real estate transactions annually, but instead opted to become a full-time agent. He tried out a few real estate teams but found a pattern of little collaboration, support, or training. As Oliver explored other options, he met Shannon Mabberley, who partnered with him as director of operations. Together, they’ve established a team grounded in shared goals, individual career satisfaction, and genuine client relationships.

Agents are naturally attracted to Roots Real Estate Group because team members build relationships as collaborators, not competitors; and clients are valued as lasting community connections, not walking commissions.

“We have a clear vision, team-oriented goals, and a cultural contract that outlines our standards, so prospects understand exactly who we are,” said Oliver. “We’re passionate about helping clients build their wealth and future.”

Team agents’ and clients’ wealth building goals are equally important to Oliver, who provides his agents with an investment fund. For every investment a team member contributes, he matches the amount. “I want to invest in real estate with my team while teaching them more about financial freedom and how to plan for retirement,” said Oliver.

Prior to officially partnering, Oliver found that both PLACE employees and PLACE Partners “make themselves available for support.” He’s glad to now provide Roots Real Estate Group with access to a network of top agents and industry leaders. They are excited about newfound leverage in agent training and Agent Launch, which onboards and trains new agents to enter production quickly.

“PLACE and I align in the vision of a true real estate team,” Oliver said. “PLACE will play an integral role in our growth and help us achieve our five-year goals in less time.”

“Oliver has great vision for his team and the analytical tools to help him achieve his goals,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “I am excited that the PLACE model aligns with his vision and look forward to being part of his exciting growth.”

“Oliver puts his people first and is building a culture of compassion, genuine relationships, and shared success,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “He’s in the right place to grow beyond his business goals with the PLACE playbook.”
