Despite what many think right now, there are investors and purchasers with capital who are interested in residential brokerage firms as businesses with solid futures.<\/p>\n We do not represent these investors or purchasers but are aware of them, what their goals are, and how they approach investing in brokerage firms.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n We would like to extend an invitation to leaders of brokerage firms who would like to have a confidential, no-cost conversation<\/strong> with us about their options, whether that be ways to get through this challenging time, or investigate a potential exit.<\/p>\n Our best wishes to you that you, your family, and your team are safe and healthy.<\/p>\n For more, contact Steve Murray, president at smurray@realtrends.com<\/a> or Scott Wright, vice president at swright@realtrends.com<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These are among the toughest times a brokerage will ever have.
