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!

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 want to look for an old video that I made which is on “Why I started the Masters in Real Estate” group on Facebook. It is important that I created the group because of everything we do at Soldera Properties. 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 of growing 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. The fees are different for teams (they can be cheaper), this one sheet reflects the individual broker only.
These desk fees can deviate if someone is coming in as a team, depending on whether they are licensed or not, etc.
In short, you will be giving yourself a big raise just by joining us… take a look!
HEAR WHAT OUR BROKERS HAVE TO SAY
We appreciate comments from our Realtors and are encouraging other Soldera Properties brokers to do the same on video so you can hear it directly from them! So

CULTURE AND CHARITY
The dream in real estate is to make a lot of money, truly enjoy the people you work with, and be in a position to give back to the community that supports us. Our culture is great! We are a company filled with brokers who help each other all the time. Our brokers love one another which I feel is important for synergy. We also bond together to help others. Take a look at who we are and some of our charitable events:
Helping others is the one thing we can do that benefits us as much as the people we help! Soldera Properties is passionate about helping others. We don’t look at charity work as an opportunity for publicity, we really only care that we can make a positive difference in the lives of others. Basically, we work for a cause, not applause.
This was our last charitable event. Today I am holding a check for $8,000 that we are giving to K9 for Warriors. I know they will put this to good use!
Here is a short, 1:10 video on what they do and how we are helping. The goal isn’t to make you tear up… but it is so special that it’s hard not to get at least a little emotional. 😢
Merrick is proud to support K9s For Warriors, an organization that provides service canines to our military veterans with PTSD who are struggling to return to civilian life. As part of this partnership, they were kind enough to name one of their dogs after us. Meet U.S. Army Veteran McLean Raybon and his service dog, Merrick. Here’s their story.

Soldera Ski Day
February 2025
Hey everyone—about a week ago I had the chance to sit down with Adam and Jamal for a really fun and wide-ranging conversation, and I wanted to share it with you.
They interviewed me about what it’s like being in real estate for 35 years, owning a company for the last 18, and how we’ve continued to grow and thrive through all kinds of markets. We got into what makes Soldera Properties different, how we think about business, our philosophy as a boutique brokerage, and where we see things going from here—including why I don’t believe AI is replacing great Realtors anytime soon.
Honestly, the conversation turned into a deep dive on Soldera—who we are, what we stand for, and what we’re building.
If you’ve ever been curious about how we operate, what our goals are, or what drives us day to day, I think you’ll really enjoy this.
It’s about 45 minutes long, easy to listen to, and packed with real insight.
Would love for you to check it out.
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 that are 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 most of your questions and gave you some insight into “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!
