So, who are we?
Nineteen 88 Real Estate was founded by 2 lifelong friends, Travis Munroe & David Briere. With a combined 25+ years experience in the industry they sought a way out of "box" where they would be subject to paying over $10,000 a month in brokerage dues. They saw this as a opportunity to open their own brokerage and earmark that money towards client and agent tools. They had been with brokerages that offered endless tools but there was 1 major problem. The tech being offered were dated, would rarely be used and of average quality. Travis and David wanted to focus on offering state of the art technology that would be used on a day to day basis.
The second decision was figuring out realistic agent monthly dues. A brokerage is profitable 1 of 2 ways. Either they offer very low monthly dues but survive on a high list of agents, many of whom are part time or temporarily out of the business. The other model is to charge a much higher due while offering features such as global brand awareness or profit sharing
