Network of Knowledge
Weekly Strategy Meeting & Market Update
Empire Realty’s dynamic, interactive sales meetings have earned the reputation of being among the best in the industry. Presentations are carefully crafted to inspire and educate, ultimately geared towards providing the highest skills and service to our clients. Formats vary from panel discussions to breakout sessions to facilitated roundrobin dialog around current market concerns. Always contained to one hour per week, these fast-paced events provide Empire agents with local market knowledge, negotiation strategies, and business development action plans. Because these meetings are so well attended, they are also a fantastic networking opportunity to address current buyer and seller needs.
Luxury Homes & Estates Meetings
All agents are invited to participate in discussing luxury market trends, reviewing local market statistics, and strategizing sales of specific luxury properties. Networking is a primary goal as nearly 75% of buyer and seller connections are made through agent relationships.
The Artisan Group
Having a well-connected friend is good, but having a well-connected family is golden. That’s the concept behind the Artisan Group, a collaboration of high profile, independently owned real estate companies located in Northern California. The exclusive alliance covers eight specific areas, reaching from Carmel north to Napa, San Francisco west through the Diablo Valley, to Lake Tahoe. By joining together, the individual brokerage firms now cast a greater net across the Bay Area, providing our clients with expertise in multiple geographic areas. nstead of being represented by one firm, a listing will be shared with the Artisan Group family—27 real estate offices and a network of more than 1,000 agents.
