Realtopia turns five

Realtopia will turn 5 in less than two days and the brokerage has come so far. Starting with four agents and a dream, Realtopia is now a tech-based, 50+ agent, multimillion dollar brokerage with so much to offer clients and their agents. 

From the back office view, Realtopia has technology for days to offer agents. This technology was selected by owners and IT manager, Ashley and Andy York, respectively. Bringing together their knowledge of the real estate industry and technology, they are constantly finding and updating the tools they use. 

All the tools provided by the brokerage come free to agents. Realtopia doesn’t even charge a franchise or monthly fee. They simply want their agents to have access to the best tech. This includes the full Google Suite, Dotloop, CRM subdomains, a listing syndication software, branding websites and so much more. Realtopia also offers training on their technology to ensure that agents are able to use each program to its full potential. 

From the client perspective, there is also an ample amount of tech to make the transaction run even smoother. Realtopia has always been a paperless brokerage, allowing clients to sign and view documents from anywhere, but they also offer electronic wire services for earnest money, access to a moving concierge service and more. 

If the tech is out there, Realtopia has explored it and is using it to better their business. 

On top of tech, Co-owners Ashley York and Kristen Shedor wanted to foster a collaborative and welcoming environment above all.

Stepping foot into the Realtopia Lockport office, you will see there is not the standard set up with cubicles, but rather open seating with comfort and collaboration in mind. There is also a fully stocked snack bar with cold brew and beer on tap. If the agents or clients need any sort of pick-me-up, there is no short supply. 

“Everyone is always so welcoming and kind,” an agent said in an anonymous survey. 

And it’s true. The agents are always helping each other out, whether they are a part of the mentorship program that Realtopia offers or not, if someone has a question, several others jump in to help. 

Realtopia offers even more than just the perks listed above. Their agents receive an 85/15 commission split, monthly training and outings and social media assistance.

Find out for yourself! As an agent or a client, Realtopia has everyone's best interest in mind and they are only just beginning.

Let’s cheer for five years with Realtopia and cheers to many more to come.
