INTRO
Thanks for wanting to know more about Soldera Properties!
LOOK AT OUR OFFICES
When covid hit around March 2020, I had many requests from prospective brokers to view the offices in virtual tour form.  At that time, we were still unsure about meeting face-to-face.
In order to show them (and you) photos of our offices, I just uploaded pictures of each office to a listing virtual tour platform that I normally use for listings.  This way you can just click a link to easily see a slideshow for that office.  This way of sharing our office with you via virtual tour was just the easiest way to fill the need.  I realize that it serves a purpose because people do want to know the class and style of their potential new company.  Do you have A Class space or are you in a strip mall next to a Chinese Restaurant? This will show you an actual photo tour of our offices.  We’re pretty sure you will love them!

ONBOARDING
One comment that I hear a lot is that “changing companies is such a pain” or “I hate moving”.  Well, I have good news for you… it is actually very easy with us!

Let’s break it down… two things need to happen to officially move and be back in business.

They are: to change your affiliation with the State and change who your company is in RMLS.  Both can be done electronically and we can do it for you in about 20 minutes.  The rest is simply changing your info on social media and creating a new email signature.
Next, we order and pay for your first batch of business cards and have them sent directly to your house!  All you need to think about is how you want to share the news with your Sphere of Influence.  Do you want to mail a card with business cards in it?  Email?  What is your strategy?  We can help you with that as well.  Ironically, against the popular belief that when you change companies, your business goes down… well, we have experienced the exact opposite!  Our broker’s businesses spike when they come over because moving is exciting and it forces those Realtors to reach out to their sphere!  Our onboarding is extremely fast and easy and we believe better than any other real estate company out there!

Our onboarding walkthrough can be found by clicking on the photo or link below:

With our onboarding, we have checklists for both Oregon and Washington that are put together in order of importance.  These are the items to work on first and it will even break it down further to what you should work to accomplish for the first few days, the first week, week 2, etc.  We really do make it simple!

SOLDERA THRIVE
Here’s a little more information about our systems and platforms.
I made this to show you our Soldera THRIVE platform.  Please click the link below:
When you watch it, make sure you click the button to make it full screen… it’s a lot easier to see!
I want to look for an old video that I made which is on “Why I started the Masters in Real Estate” group on Facebook.  Why it is important is that everything we do at Soldera Properties is why I created the group.  We believe everyone should “Master” their craft, become more knowledgeable, professional, ethical, cooperative, give back to the community, and together… we all will THRIVE!  I’ll look for it and send it to you next.  This will show you a little bit about my “why”.
MY “WHY”
In January 2012, I started a private Facebook group for Realtors and real estate-related services.  I did this in the hope to grow everyone’s knowledge, professionalism, ethics, understanding of the law, cooperation, technology, and building a place where we could all collaborate.
This was the first video I ever made and I made this years ago!  I just got done speaking to the Clatsop County Association of Realtors and I realized that I told them WHY I started Masters but didn’t ever really tell the members of Masters my “why”.  It’s about 10 minutes long… if I were to remake the video I would keep it to just a couple of minutes.  At least this explains my “why”.
Here is a video on why I started Masters!

ONE SHEET
Here is a one-sheet that breaks down all costs that are covered by Soldera Properties as well as different desk fee plans.
These desk fees can deviate if someone is coming in as a team, depending on if they are licensed or not, etc.
In short, you will be giving yourself a big raise just by joining us… take a look!
FINAL THOUGHTS
As Realtors, we know that finding the right home for someone takes a little research and effort… but in the end, it is completely worth it!  The same is true for Realtors finding a new “home” for themselves.  The company needs to match most of the things important to you.  Usually, that revolves around services, support, training, technology, accessibility, culture, office space, onboarding, reputation, and the unwavering belief that you will be happy, supported, and profitable there.  I hope the information I shared with you answered the majority of your questions and gave you some insight as to “Who are Soldera Properties Realtors”?  I can answer your specific questions when we talk again soon!

I’m looking forward to talking with you again soon!
