“I came to Empire because I felt there were several points of difference from all the other companies that Empire stand out in the crowd.
-
Local ownership with the ability to react and respond to changing local market needs. We don’t need to forge through corporate red tape to get things done.
-
The agent ownership/partner model keeps the focus on agent needs. The company was founded by agents and is designed to help agents be successful.
-
Hank Perry as President is one of the most experienced and dynamic leaders and managers in our local market. His depth of knowledge and years of experience working for major real estate companies on both a local and national level has enabled us to think, act and perform at levels above most of our competition while retaining the control and hands on attention that only smaller firm can provide.
Empire is high tech and high touch, both qualities are needed to be successful in today’s environment.”

“As a founding partner of Empire Realty since 2002, I shared deeply in our common philosophy, culture and goals. We strive to create a dynamic, sophisticated, technologically savvy company, where agents were encouraged, supported, and trained to grow their business and to work in a mutually beneficial and synergistic environment. I believe we have accomplished this and that we have created a high-profile, respected, ethical company…deeply entrenched in family values, with a grass roots mentality. What could be better?”
