“Doug is a prime example of the talent @properties has been able to attract thanks to the opportunities and individualized services we provide as a locally owned, independent company,” said Wong.
“Real estate is a local business,” said Fox. “I was a managing broker with the mindset of an agent when I started to consider getting back into sales. The choice of where I wanted to put my agent license became clear because @properties is a locally owned company with a highly recognized brand and great market share. I felt their level of customer focused marketing and highly visible branding would best serve my clients. I also felt they had the most innovative agent centric tools and branding to help my business grow.”
