Recently Apex Results Realty opened its doors in Burlington, Ont. Bob Van de Vrande, previously broker of record with Sutton Group Results Realty, says he has converted the company “to adapt to the changing real estate business with the motto ‘Real Estate is Changing….And So Are We’”.
He says that in the past couple of years there has been “a move away from large corporate franchises that charge salespeople high costs plus recurring fees, towards more flexible independent companies.” These companies “with a local presence allow Realtors to brand themselves in the marketplace,” says Van de Vrande, “This enables them to offer a personalized service that is directly tied to their own reputation – rather than to a company name.”
Apex Results Realty offers salespeople a full-service office, exclusive professional development and in-house training, he says. “We consider ourselves the real estate company for grownups. We are there to support them and to provide the services, office location and administrative help they need to succeed.”
The brokerage has 40 salespeople, and Van de Vrande says he is already looking at the possibility of additional offices in surrounding areas.
