Today...
Being aware of the local economic impact caused by the sale of a home, our founder, Anthony Fernandez, a former IT expert with over 20 years of real estate experience as a property manager, licensed associate broker, team leader and former office manager kept finding ways to solve problems. One day he began incorporating his skills in tech and enjoyment of training and everything began to change.
The sale of real estate is not a singular event. As a transaction, it can involve over a dozen service providers. After the closing of a sale and the exchange of keys, there are suppliers and products needed regularly. Real estate agents are the first and most continuous part of homeowners' journey.
Among real estate professionals, he uncovered areas that lacked communication, created friction that drains the life out of collaboration and efficiency. A force that would devastate the buoyancy of any brokerage, forcing it to a slow voyage to success, probable lost of its talented real estate agents and a closing that no broker-owner would ever want to attend. Anthony began to work on solutions to improve their experience and increase their exposure to opportunities. His belief is that every business from a cabinet manufacturer to plumber to a roofer, they are a part of what makes a home and keeps it running.
