“Building a business from the ground up has been extremely gratifying. We are especially proud of how our team of new agents has consistently out-performed more experienced agents in per-person productivity. We reached a point where we needed more resources and support in order to sustain our growth. Because of our alignment with BHGRE’s culture and core values, the brand was a perfect fit.
